The corridor narrows, swallowing sound. Ahead, the steel door trembles with machine hum, and the Peacebringer throws pale light across wet concrete.
Elizabeth glides to a stop at the door, one hand near the frame, her posture too still, too ready. Elias hangs back with his rifle, staring at her like he wants distance and a shield at once.
Elizabeth Bathory
That door is the handoff point. Open it, and the trail runs straight to what you came for.
A thin click answers her words from inside. Something on the other side shifts, as if people there have heard the whole corridor breathing.
Thadeus Jovanović
Then we move now.
Elizabeth’s smile flashes and vanishes. For a heartbeat, her eyes catch the Peacebringer’s glow with a hungry glint, and Thadeus sees the choice clearly, trust her, or treat her like part of the threat.

“Thadeus pushes the door open, leading to what appears to be the main hall of a cathedral. The light is dim, but he thinks he can see the EB insignia plastered on all of the stained glass in the room. Broken pews are strewn about the room, while Thadeus sees three women at the pulpit, dressed in red bikinis. Thadeus thinks the party is about 100 feet away from the women”
SUCCESS (Legendary Agility, rolled +0)
Thadeus drives the door wide and steps through first, Peacebringer up, its glow washing over a cathedral-like hall.
Dim stained glass lines the walls, each panel stamped with the EB insignia. Broken pews lie scattered across the floor like barricades after a storm.
Thadeus Jovanović
This is bigger than a stash point.
About a hundred feet ahead, three women stand at the pulpit in red bikinis, framed by the weak light and the ruined aisle.
Elias recoils hard at the threshold, rifle tightening in his hands as he stares into the hall.
Elizabeth Bathory
There. That is the inner sanctum. And now you can see what they were hiding.
The Peacebringer flares brighter in Elizabeth’s direction, and the three women at the pulpit turn their attention toward the open door.
