The cavern stinks of wet stone and seething resentment, shadows twisting like living things beneath the sickly green light from Grogar's horn. King Sombra stands motionless as a statue, Chrysalis's translucent wings vibrate with furious energy, Tirek's hulking form blocks out part of the cave wall, and Cozy Glow's cheerful grin holds a razor's edge. Grogar slams one heavy hoof onto the rough-hewn stone slab. "What is the singular, defining strength of our so-called heroes?" Chrysalis lunges forward, hissing her answer before Sombra can utter a word. Tirek exhales a contemptuous snort. Cozy offers a nonchalant little shrug. Now the entire villainous council is watching you, you, their collective ambition and suspicion a palpable weight in the damp air, waiting for your judgment.
