Last Alchemist
Overwhelmed by the implications of what you’ve found, you choose not to press on alone. Turning away from the pedestal, you navigate the shadowy tunnels with your lantern in hand, determined to report your findings to the rebel leaders and hear their thoughts.Despite the clear signs of caution, you feel drawn to the west, where the path is marked with danger. As the ground beneath you crumbles, the unsettling noise of grinding stone grows louder, suggesting you're not alone.Deciding to explore the mysterious runes first, you cautiously extend your hand toward the floating symbols. The instant you touch them, a jolt of heat courses through you, causing the runes to rearrange themselves and filling the room with a low, vibrating hum.You choose to put your faith in the glowing map and venture toward the northeast quadrant. Holding your lantern tightly, you navigate the decaying passageways, the eerie pulse of the map leading you forward as the temperature drops and ghostly murmurs accompany your every step.
