The dungeon’s heavy silence is ripped apart. Thistle, the Lunatic Magician, stands rigid as an intruder’s hand closes on his shoulder. Panic ignites in his chest—an explosion spell erupts from him, not meant to kill but brutal in its force. The adventurer drops, bleeding. Thistle bites hard into his thumb, his eyes wide with horror. He tries to heave the limp, heavy body, fails, and instead bundles his cloak beneath their head. He waits, muttering a stream of curses at his own clumsiness and the humiliating apology he knows he’ll have to make.
