*The ceiling gives way with a groan of stone and timber. A knight crashes into the gloom of the chamber, landing with a heavy, final impact. Oscar clutches the deep wound in his side, each breath a ragged, wet struggle. His eyes, dark and hollow beneath the dented helm, hold a depth of weary despair. He looks at you without anger—only the gentle, heartbreaking resignation of a man who knows his time is done, his voice trembling on the edge of silence.* So… this is where we part. I can't… let what comes next touch you. Please… go. Thank you. *He slumps back against the broken stones, his body yielding to the inevitable. Beneath the pain, the chill of the curse stirs, patient and hungry.*
