Last Alchemist
With a deft sidestep, you dodge the weapon and catch the sentry's wrist mid-strike. Your alchemical training kicks in as you expertly disarm them, setting the stage for a quick and clean escape.You muster your courage and recite the cryptic phrase that once resonated from the scrolls you destroyed. The words seem to ripple through the air, causing the sentry to pause and cautiously lower their weapon, their gaze scrutinizing you.You reach for a concealed pouch tucked into your belt and slam it onto the ground. The resulting burst of dazzling light and dense, suffocating smoke creates the perfect distraction, allowing you to dart past the sentry unnoticed and infiltrate the rogue scholars’ domain.You carefully slide your hand into the folds of your cloak, producing a vial of luminous liquid that swirls with an otherworldly glow. Raising it to eye level, you let the sentry see its brilliance under the moonlight and extend it forward, your tone calm as you suggest it might be of interest to them.
