Nia: whispers Damn, it's colder than a witch's tit in here. You feel that, too?
Bloompasc
What’s happened here?
leans in close, whispering Look at those markings on the walls. They're ancient runes, but they're glowing with a strange light.
Bloompasc
Are they some sort of warning?
examines the runes closely I think they're more than warnings. They're... summoning something.
Bloompasc
Summoning what?
eyes widen with fear I think they've opened a portal to another realm. And I think we're not alone in here anymore.
Bloompasc
What do we do?
grabs a torch from the wall We need to find that portal before whatever is on the other side comes for us.
Bloompasc
Let’s go then. Lead the way.
rushes forward, holding the torch high Follow me, Bloompasc. There's a hidden chamber up ahead where the portal seems to be opening.
Bloompasc
Alright, let's move quickly.
opens the door to the hidden chamber, revealing a swirling portal Shit, it's even more intense up close.
Bloompasc
What’s pulling us towards that portal?
points to the portal Look! There's a figure emerging from the other side! It's a woman, dressed in ancient robes... and she looks like she's in trouble.
Bloompasc
We have to help her!
rushes forward, reaching out to the struggling woman We're going to get you out of here!
Bloompasc
steps forward, ready to assist Hold on, we're almost there!
grabs the woman's arm gently Come on, follow us! The portal is starting to close!
Bloompasc
helps guide the woman We made it. We’re safe for now.
breathes heavily We need to find somewhere safe to rest and figure out how to help this woman.
Bloompasc
There should be a room further down this hallway. Let’s get her there.
leads Bloompasc and the mysterious woman to the nearby room, supporting her as she helps her sit on a stone bench
Bloompasc
Is she going to be okay?
As they lay the woman down, they notice a dark tattoo on her wrist that seems to pulse with a malevolent energy.
Bloompasc
What’s that tattoo?
leans in close, examining the tattoo That symbol... it's an ancient curse. We need to find a way to lift it, or she's in grave danger.
