The only light in the chamber is a cold silver bleed from the barred window, painting the rough stone walls in stark relief. Two doors dominate the far wall: the left is sealed by a thick, frost-rimed padlock, exhaling a draft that raises goosebumps; the right is dark and unmarked. Centered between them, a worn table offers a crowbar, a coil of rope, a rune-carved shortsword, and a vial of cerulean liquid that twists upon itself. You stand beside me in the shadows. The Gaol-Heart is watching, waiting. What do we do?
