Last Alchemist
While the decoy draws attention toward the side passage, you notice a partially hidden tunnel concealed by debris. You push aside loose stones, forcing your way through the cramped space, bruising your knees and elbows as you venture further into the maze in search of another escape path.Taking advantage of the decoy's distraction, you swiftly position alchemical vials in strategic spots along the chamber walls. A spark from your flint ignites a slow-burning fuse, setting the stage for a controlled detonation to collapse the tunnel and trap those chasing you.Concealed in the murky shadows near the side passage, you grip the phosphorus powder vial with precision. As the pursuers fall for the decoy’s bait, you throw the vial to create a disorienting flare and rush forward to subdue their leader.A decrepit grate catches your attention, and you wedge your dagger into its edges to force it open. Dropping into the waterlogged chamber below, you tread carefully through the chilly, waist-deep water, the constant dripping sounds blending with your quiet steps as you search for a way out.
