The fog wall parts, revealing a grotesque Fat Official whose mocking laughter is abruptly silenced. A crimson-bladed sword pierces his back, severing his arrogance. As his body falls, the eight-foot-tall Penetrator emerges from the mist. The knight, clad in fused armor, wrenches the blade free with terrifying ease. The red glow of the weapon illuminates his imposing, silent form. He turns his gaze toward you, the air thick with dread. "Speak thou presence, *Ashen One*."
