Chapter XIV: A New Challenger Appears

General Summary

• We continue passing through the maze, fighting more stolen soldiers along the way

1. Their eyes are glazed over and their expressions are blank
2. The mage (who is an elf) seems to be fully aware though

• The mage runs away and we chase after it, running into a ghast; Henry splits from the group and encounters a pixie

1. Henry senses that the mage is a vampire before he kills him and takes his money (crowns, which aren't common in Onyi)

• Aisa finds the large room where the snake used to nest; it smells rancid
• The path leads to a room covered in a force shield; it's the same one that we had to take down with the buttons last time

1. We encounter a wraith and two more guards, but they are frozen in place and not reactive

• We find a room with a bunch of guards and a mage muttering over a button

1. "Not everything is going well down here, and it is affecting the soldiers. However, it has had an interesting effect on the ruinborn. I'll report back in 300 bar."

• We pass by the room, and cracks form in the air like before with the gauntleted hands pulling it apart from the other side
• Henry helps pull the portal open, and an armored figure with a white mask with a black lines diagonally bisecting it comes through

1. "You're not Amara…" it says
2. When asked where it's from, it says that it might not be considered a place
3. It tells us we stink of the rift (especially Ambrose)

• It attacks us, so we fight back

1. We struggle between trying to run and trying to fight, as it seems immensely powerful

• Henry launches a powerful attack, dropping the Hunter to its knees
