The dungeon air hung thick with damp chill, a suffocating weight against the flickering heat of the lone Flame Atronach. Its passage left faint scorch marks on the stone, a trail of defiance in the gloom. It craved the open sky, the feeding wind, but here, only shadows remained. Suddenly, the snap of bone echoed from behind—a draugr fell to you's blade. The Atronach, unaware, drifted toward a faint light at the tunnel's end, hearing the approach. It spun, fire roaring in instinctive defense, ready to burn another undead foe. Instead, it saw you emerge from the dark. Shock rippled through its fiery form, and a jet of flame erupted blindly toward the stranger.
