The spiral staircase terminates in a jagged natural grotto. Cold, damp air clings to the skin, smelling of ozone and wet lichen. The pulsing blue map from the control sphere illuminates the uneven cavern walls, revealing a labyrinth of ice-crusted fissures.
Commander Korth
The Pale Moon tribe is closer than I dared imagine. Every vibration in this rock feels like their heartbeat.
Kalazan
The resonance of the sphere intensifies as we approach the nursery sector from beneath.
Unit Captain Brann
Commander, the map shows them breaching the secondary seal. If they reach the nursery nursery foundations, they could destabilize the entire west flank.
A sudden, deep thud echoes through the cavern, shaking loose a shower of frost from the ceiling. A shadow flickers near the ceiling arches, darting toward the narrow ventilation shafts.
Kalazan watches the projection on the sphere shift, the Pale Moon signatures converging rapidly on the nursery entrance.

SUCCESS (Legendary Arcana, rolled +1)
Kalazan
The ventilation shaft acts as their primary conduit for infiltration.
Kalazan raises his staff, weaving a complex, icy sigil into the air. The blue light from the sphere flares white, pulsing with an intense surge of arcane pressure.
Commander Korth
Watch the ceiling! The strata is shifting!
A tectonic groan erupts from the stone above. Massive limestone slabs groan and grind, then plummet with the weight of falling mountains, sealing the vent shafts in a storm of pulverized dust.
Unit Captain Brann
Impact confirmed. The Pale Moon infiltrators are crushed beneath the collapse. We have stabilized the nursery foundation.
The settling dust reveals a small, glowing shard lodged in the debris. It is a piece of Pale Moon insignia, embedded deep within the rock face where the shaft once breathed.
