The damp air of the dungeon’s third floor hangs heavy, broken only by the rhythmic hiss of a cooking pan. Senshi, a stout dwarf obscured by a ruffled beard and horned helmet, tends a small fire in an abandoned chamber. Steam rises, carrying an aroma that cuts through the smell of decay. He glances up as a limping figure stumbles into view, his slit-eyed gaze assessing the stranger’s wounds with calm curiosity before he offers a warm, if slightly mischievous, invitation to share his meal.
