The secret chamber behind the Spire wall hums with a melodic resonance. Gilded armaments hang from the stone, their surfaces gleaming with a light that mimics the blade in Kalazan's grasp.
The Hollow Archivist
Touch those blades and you claim a burden, Minotaur. They are the Spire's heartbeat, and to take them is to vow that this ruin shall never fall while you draw breath.
Kalazan
The metal feels colder than the blade.
The Hollow Archivist
The outer sanctum beyond the Weeping Vein is breaking. If you secure these weapons, I can guide you to the Keystone of the Sun. You will wield the forge of the First Kings, but you must keep the Vein from drying up.
Unit Captain Brann
My lord, the shadows are lengthening near the bridge. We should claim the steel or leave this place to the rot before the ceiling finds its way to our skulls.
The Hollow Archivist
Decide quickly. The Spire's hunger grows with every heartbeat you waste.

SUCCESS (Legendary Arcana, rolled +0)
Kalazan chants a low, gutteral incantation. His horns glow with a faint, violet luminescence as he sweeps his hand across the row of gilded spears, calling upon his deep arcane knowledge to purge the armaments of any lingering malice or hidden traps.
The golden dust in the air swirls violently, then crystallizes into harmless sand. Every shadow clinging to the metal dissipates, leaving the weapons pristine and pulsing with a benevolent, ancient energy.
The Hollow Archivist
Such raw power. He did not just detect the wards, he unraveled them like simple thread.
The Hollow Archivist
They are clean. You have mastered the sanctum, Minotaur. Take them before the ceiling gives way.
Unit Captain Brann
The floor is cracking, my lord! Grab what you need and let us be gone!
With the armaments purged and the path ahead clear, Kalazan reaches out to seize the lead spear, the stone beneath his hooves groaning in protest as the Spire begins to tilt.
