I can do this.... Hiroka thought to herself. If Nindiana Jones can go on adventures solo so can I! There's that creepy old mansion we heard about in the tavern that lives between two blue trees! It's the perfect place for my first adventure. And so she headed off towards the mansion.... but little did she know, her father, Ripple was keeping an eye on her from behind the bushes.

As Hiroka came close to the front doors she dreamed of the treasure she might find. Perhaps it'll be a rare collector's edition coin! Or maybe, a pirate's secret treasure horde! Nobody would think to leave it in the cold, wintry landscape of Strynhalde, she thought to herself with a chuckle.

It was the third room down in this massive mansion, when a storm began a brewing over the mansion. While creepy, it wasn't the scariest thing she'd been in. So far every room she'd tried had 0 treasure. Only musty old furniture, and bugs. Maybe... in this next room! Hiroka leapt into the doorway with an excited air.... only to find her Dad, investigating this next room in front of her?! 
"DAD?!" she exclaimed with surprise.

"Ah ha ha ha.... you got me." Ripple replied awkwardly laughing as he slammed closed a drawer.
"What are you doing here?!" Hiroka asked angrily. "This was to be my first grand adventure!!! How come you're here exploring it?!"
"Oh... well I had to make sure it was safe you know? These places can be pretty rickity but I'm happy to report this house is 100% empty apart from a few creepy crawlies and a bat or two."

"Great... I guess there's no chance you're going to leave me alone to explore this place, huh?" she muttered under her breathe. Her father happily nodded in reply. With a sigh, she stalked out from the room her dad, happily prancing and escorting his daughter around the mansion.
