Last Alchemist
Doubting her sincerity, you decide to set up a controlled situation to evaluate her trustworthiness. You assign her a seemingly routine but strategically important task, ensuring her response will expose her true motives.Recognizing the importance of gauging the threat level, you question her thoroughly about how the empire uncovered the information, what they’ve learned, and the urgency of the situation. Simultaneously, you observe her tone and expressions closely, searching for subtle contradictions or clues to verify her story.You assert yourself with unwavering confidence, making it evident that you are the sole authority in the room. By outlining a clear plan and emphasizing the consequences of disobedience, you leave no doubt that her survival depends on trusting and obeying your directives.Securing the sanctuary takes precedence, so you meticulously inspect the catacombs for any weaknesses, concealed entrances, or escape paths. Strengthening fortifications and ensuring the area is ready to withstand a possible intrusion becomes your primary focus.
