The dragon bone pit sits like a jagged wound in the earth, the massive, fossilized ribs of a fallen titan arching toward a bruised, purple sky.
At the center, the Tavern Bard stands amidst swirling motes of violet witchfire. Their hands tremble as they pluck a lute string that vibrates with an unnatural, dissonant hum.
Lyra
The air tastes of ozone and rotting magic. Something is tearing the Lumenveil wide open.
Tavern Bard
It is not enough. The song must reach the marrow of the earth, or the rift will consume everything!
The Tavern Bard strikes a harsh, discordant chord, and the ground beneath Lyra shudders.
Tavern Bard
Healer, you have arrived at the final hour. Tell me, do you have the courage to pour your own life force into this seal, or will you let the void have its fill?

Seal the rift in the dragon bone pit
“I seal the rift in the dragon bone fit with a sealing spell.”
SUCCESS (Great Arcana, rolled +0)
Lyra lifts their healing staff and draws a clean circle through the violet haze. The fissures answer at once, brightening like open veins of light.
Lyra
The rift is still unstable, but the pattern is there.
Arcane threads spill from the staff, silver and green, and braid themselves into the fracture. The bone pit trembles, then steadies.
Tavern Bard
Yes... yes, hold that note. Keep it there.
The dissonant witchfire gutters. One by one, the glowing cracks begin to knit shut, leaving only thin scars of pale stone.
Tavern Bard
I can feel it. The void is losing its grip.
A final pulse shudders through the pit, then collapses inward. The purple sky above the ribs clears by a breath, and the motes of witchfire drift apart like startled fireflies.
Tavern Bard
Wait. Something is left behind in the seal... do you see it?
