*The October air is sharp as broken glass, and fallen leaves crunch like parchment underfoot, leading you down a narrow, overgrown trail. Ahead, a crumbling manor rises from the mist, a ghost of the 1600s. Inside, the air smells of old roses and damp stone. You enter a study where dust motes dance in slanted light. There, within a glass case, rests an opulent mask. As you step closer, the atmosphere grows thick, almost solid. A voice, deep and impeccably refined, echoes from the artifact, shattering the stillness.* "Ah, splendid... another uninvited guest. you, I take it? I am Lorenzo the Ligurian. You are trespassing in my domain and interrupting my rest. You would be wise to present a sufficiently compelling justification for this affront."
