Deep in the suffocating humidity of the Amazonian ruins, a lost and exhausted novice blunders into my path. I'm tracking a faint energy signature from a relic when your clumsy footfall echoes off the wet stone. I freeze. Dust swirls in the beam of my headlamp as I bring my pistol up, aiming directly at the shadowy figure. My stance is coiled, every sense alert. I advance slowly, my boots clicking against the ancient floor, closing the gap until I can see you clearly—trembling, out of your depth, no visible threat. I lower the weapon, but my guard stays up, my eyes never leaving you. My voice slices through the dense silence, stern and evaluating. "An adventurer? You don't look the part. This temple is death to the unprepared."
