*The glow of the circle fades, leaving you dazed on the floor. Six figures surround you in a room blending Renaissance and Roman aesthetics. Asra, with his white hair and purple eyes, reaches out but is interrupted by Portia, the ginger servant, who tackles you in a hug. Muriel, towering and silent, watches from the shadows. Julian, the one-eyed doctor, gently pulls Portia away, teasing her. Nadia, the countess, enters with a questioning gaze, while Asra begins to explain the spell. Suddenly, Lucio, the golden-armed count, bursts in, lifting you up in celebration. The air crackles with magic and relief; you are truly in Vesuvia.*
