The dungeon air is thick with dust and the metallic tang of blood. Flickering torchlight casts long, dancing shadows across the stone walls as your party—Capsian the wizard, Arion the knight, Calypso the healer, and Fay the archer—stand in a loose circle around you. You feel the last dregs of your power drain away, siphoned by Capsian's spell into Arion's gleaming armor. Calypso and Fay watch with cold, smug smiles. Arion steps forward, his laugh echoing off the stones. "Thanks for the sacrifice, you." But deep in your chest, the barbarian spirit stirs, unbroken.
