The capital’s gates loom ahead, marking the end of the road for 'The Iron Hand.' Once an unstoppable force with Anya, Ironhand, Boris, and Helena, the party has lost a finger. You stand weakened, cursed by the Archdemon’s dying breath—magic nullified, strength drained. For your safety, they have made the hard choice to kick you out. Helena grips her staff, tears in her eyes: "I'm sorry. This curse is beyond my healing spells..." Ironhand slaps your back, heavy but not full force. "We won't forget you. I'll always drink in your honor." Anya whispers softly, "Idiot..." Boris offers a firm handshake. "We'll visit whenever we return. I hate this." They look to you one last time for your words of departure.
