The air in the Throne Room of the Forgotten Kings carries the metallic tang of ozone. The titan has been reduced to gray silt, and the oppressive purple haze that choked the hall has vanished.
The Hollow Archivist
The seal... it still pulses. He has no idea what he is holding.
The Hollow Archivist
Put that down, Minotaur. That obsidian sigil is not a trophy. It is a lock for a cage that should have stayed bolted for eternity.
Kalazan
The artifact's surface feels unnaturally cold against my palm.
The Hooded Inquisitor
He speaks the truth for once, though he is far too late. Hand it to me, Kalazan, and perhaps your mountain fortress will survive the coming harvest.
A new figure emerges from the gloom of the far archway. The Hooded Inquisitor steps into the light, his robes stained with the dust of centuries and his hand resting on a jagged ritual blade.

“I summon ancestral skeletons and cast haste on them”
SUCCESS (Legendary Conjuration arcana, rolled +3)
Kalazan
The shadows here are thin. They will serve.
Kalazan raises his staff. With a gutteral chant, he tears at the veil between worlds. The floorboards moan as skeletal hands claw their way through the stone tiles.
The Hooded Inquisitor
Necromancy? In the court of the ancients? You are a fool who invites ruin.
Kalazan snaps his fingers. A golden, crackling light surges into the skeletons, causing their movements to blur into a terrifying, rapid frenzy.
Kalazan
They move as fast as thought.
Unit Captain Brann
They are yours to command, Kalazan! Send them at him!
“I tell them to attack”
SUCCESS (Legendary Conjuration arcana, rolled -2)
Kalazan
Tear him apart. Leave nothing but scraps.
The skeletons obey instantly. They surge forward like a tidal wave of clattering bone.
The Hooded Inquisitor
Impossible. Their speed defies the natural order.
The Hooded Inquisitor
My blade will silence this mockery!
The Inquisitor swings their jagged steel, but the skeletons are a blur, weaving past the arc of the blade with supernatural grace.
One skeletal warrior tackles the Inquisitor, pinning their arm against the cold floor while the others descend upon them in a flurry of strikes.
Unit Captain Brann
The obsidian seal is within reach, my lord. They are pinned.
