Last Alchemist
Holding the vial close, you step into the corridor, the orb of light in your hand casting long shadows. "Speak your name and your business," you command, your voice cutting through the tense silence.Speaking the incantation softly, you dismantle the ward, erasing all signs of its presence. You quickly slip into a concealed hollow in the wall, where the shadows envelop you, allowing you to watch the intruder unnoticed.You step silently into the darker recesses of the catacombs, crouching low behind a decaying stone column. With steady hands, you prepare a flashpowder charge, watching intently to see if the figure stumbles into the ward’s trap.A small stone leaves your hand, landing within the ward and activating its shimmering trap. The strands of light wrap around the figure, and you move forward with a vial, ready to confront the being that dared to enter.
