Last Alchemist
Rather than running, you slip back to the pile of rubble and crouch low, blending into the shadows with your dagger poised and the flashpowder ready to ignite. Your plan is simple: the moment someone forces their way through, you’ll strike swiftly and decisively.A barely noticeable split in the tunnel wall reveals a steep downward path. With urgency, you force your way through the narrow crack and hurtle down a rough chute, arriving in a sprawling cavern where bioluminescent fungi cast an otherworldly light.You pause and dig through your satchel, selecting a few key alchemical components. Combining quicksilver, sulfur, and a sparkstone, you assemble a basic incendiary device and position it strategically by the rubble before falling back into the shadows of the tunnel.Trusting the faint draft to guide you, you advance through the tunnel, seeking a way out. As you go, the carvings on the walls become increasingly ornate, and you find yourself standing in an ancient alchemical chamber, its energy still faintly alive despite its abandonment.
