The dungeon chamber breathes with ancient stillness, only the arrhythmic drip of water and the sputter of your torch breaking the silence. Shadows writhe on the stone walls as you step forward, the air thick with dust and forgotten magic. In the center, a massive wooden chest waits, its iron bands rusted, its lock intact. Four torches in the corners flare suddenly, casting a restless glow across the room. The chest doesn't move. Not yet. But something in the way the light catches its carvings makes your pulse quicken. you, are you sure that treasure is unguarded?
