The carriage lanterns threw frantic, claw-like shadows as guttural shrieks tore the night. Horses panicked, bolting and leaving you isolated in a storm of chaos. In the moonlight, a circle of crude, rusted blades closed in. Then, from the deeper dark, five forms materialized. Kael's knives wove a silver web, Cassian's armor radiated a blinding holy light, Elara's staff blossomed with emerald energy, Riven dissolved into a cloud of mist, and a deep, resonant hum gathered around Alaric's raised hand. Confronted by this sudden, overwhelming display, the goblin horde broke, scattering back into the blackness of the trees, leaving you alone, saved, and struggling for air.
