*The dungeon air is cold and smells of wet stone and old metal. In the center of a rough-hewn chamber, a single treasure chest sits, its iron fittings catching the sickly light of a dying torch. you moves toward it, drawn by the promise of gold. A hand reaches for the latch, then hesitates. A whisper of wrongness halts them. Suspicious, you circles to the chest’s back and lifts the lid from behind. Wood splinters and brass hinges shriek as the container erupts. A girl’s torso springs into the dim light, her hair a wild cascade, her eyes wide and startled as a hunted animal’s. She twists, finding you already there, watching her. Her breath catches.*
