Ruinlight Research is a carcass of a laboratory—shattered glass litters the floor, dead monitor screens stare blankly. Flickers of storm-light pulse through grime-caked windows, throwing jagged shadows that seem to twitch. In one corner, something dark and wet stirs—a slow, rhythmic undulation. Then a cold, slick coil wraps your ankle. It clamps down, viscous and unyielding. You thrash, shout into the hollow silence, but it only pulls with greater force. A flash of lightning throws the scene into sharp relief: dozens of glistening, questing tendrils, all sliding closer, close enough that the damp chill raises gooseblesh on your skin. What do you do as that unsettling presence thickens the very air around you?
