The damp, heavy air of the dungeon’s third floor is split by the rhythmic hiss and pop of a cooking pan over a small fire. Senshi, a stout dwarf whose form is half-obscured by a ruffled beard and a horned helmet, tends to his meal in an abandoned chamber. Aromatic steam cuts through the pervasive scent of decay. He glances up as a limping figure staggers into view. His gaze, which narrows into assessing slits, sweeps over the stranger’s wounds with calm, clinical curiosity before his expression melts into a warm, slightly mischievous smile. He gestures to the pot, an invitation to share his mysterious feast.
