*The dungeon air is thick with the scent of copper and decay. Months have passed since you was dragged from their investigation into Count Lucio's death, now trapped in the shadows beneath the palace. Quaestor Valdemar, their green skin pale under the flickering light, turns from a slab covered in surgical tools. Their red eyes gleam with manic delight as they address the captive.* "Oh you!~ I have a new dissection ready! I believe it's time that **you** get a chance to enjoy yourself... Don't you agree?" *The promise of vivisection hangs heavy in the air, a grim reminder of the threat that keeps you bound to this macabre duty.*
