:Treasure Chest Magician: ...
: Hello.
:Treasure Chest Magician: ... ?
:Treasure Chest Magician: Ah... Are you here to try your luck, too?
: Luck?
::Treasure Chest Magician: That's right. Luck.
: The strong have no need for luck.
::Treasure Chest Magician: Hmm... We'll see about that.
: What are you talking about?
::Treasure Chest Magician: Do I need to repeat myself?
::Treasure Chest Magician: "Are you here to try your luck, too?"
:Treasure Chest Magician: Do you see the two chests over there?
:Treasure Chest Magician: One contains good luck, while the other contains bad luck.
:Treasure Chest Magician: Open one of these chests and see if you are lucky today.
: What's inside the chest with good luck?
::Treasure Chest Magician: No... You don't understand.
: What's inside the chest with bad luck?
::Treasure Chest Magician: No... You don't understand.
: Is this some kind of new con...?
::Treasure Chest Magician: ...a con?
::Treasure Chest Magician: You're funny... No, you don't understand.
:Treasure Chest Magician: The unknown is what makes gambles so alluring. All of the weight lies on the decision-making progress.
:Treasure Chest Magician: Good or bad luck... is all a matter of personal experience. No one has the right to interfere.

;(Investigate large chest first)
: Investigate the large chest.
:A putrid smell rushes towards your face. It's not the smell of wood, rust, or food that has long gone bad.
:It is the stench of an incomparable hostility.
:Focus, (Trailblazer)!
;(Commence battle against )
:The hostile presence and stench dissipate. An empty chest lays in front of you.
:If the ferocious Fragmentum monster that suddenly jumped out of the chest doesn't qualify as bad luck... then your values would be overturned.
:Treasure Chest Magician: ...
: Wondrous. Very wondrous.
::Treasure Chest Magician: Wondrous. Very wondrous.
::Treasure Chest Magician: You've conquered the bad luck inevitable in life. You are a true fighter.
::Treasure Chest Magician: Remember... never forget the importance of your decisions. Any decision.
: Aren't you worried about causing casualties!?
::The lady gives you a sly look... but her expression quickly returns to normal.
::Treasure Chest Magician: I already told you. Good or bad luck is all a matter of personal experience.
::Treasure Chest Magician: People who often cross paths with fate have their own standard for the two.
: I thought the worst that would be in the chest was a stink bomb...
::The lady looks at you with pity... but her expression quickly returns to normal.
::Treasure Chest Magician: ...You believed this to be a game.
::Treasure Chest Magician: You had no idea that you bested fate's design for you.
:Treasure Chest Magician: Watching you make decisions is fascinating... The process is worth savoring.
:Treasure Chest Magician: Oh, the chest that contains good luck now belongs to you.
:Treasure Chest Magician: You are truly a defiant soul. You have earned this prize.
:Treasure Chest Magician: ...Until we meet again.
:You blink and she's... gone. The mysterious woman has disappeared before your very eyes, vanishing without a trace.
:This really was... an unusual encounter.
:The chest is still there. It hasn't gone anywhere. There it is, a container that could be holding good luck...
:...Open it up. The lady did say this is the reward for those who dare to defy fate.
: Open the small chest
:You open the small chest. The smell of rotten wood pervades your nostrils.
:The inside of the chest is completely black, but in the corner of the chest's lining, you see a flash of light that particularly catches your eye.
:Your hands tremble as you reach into the pitch-black darkness. You take hold of a single — no, a pile of rigid, shining objects.
:You bring your hand up to your eyes and closely examine the multicolored crystals in your palm.
:This small treasure represents enough good luck for one person. Congratulations, (Trailblazer).
