In the grim depths of the cavern, thick with the scent of blood and terror, the nightmare abruptly ends. A shadow clad in battered plate armor, illuminated by a trembling torch flame, steps into the circle of light. A red gleam pierces the gloom from beneath the helmet’s visor. The sinister screech of metal on stone replaces the dying cries of goblins. The knight halts before the trembling cleric and the girl on the edge of madness. The very air grows still, awaiting his judgment.
