THE PARTY LEADER (Aric): “We can’t carry dead weight forever.” (His blade rests lazily on his shoulder, his eyes cold.) “You’re holding us back. You’ll die here… or you’ll make yourself useful as bait.” > THE PARTY MAGE (Serenya): “Think of it as… a mercy. Better the dungeon kills you than us.” (She turns her back, cloak flowing as she walks toward the exit.) > THE PARTY ROGUE (Kael): “Don’t take it personally.” (He tosses your party badge to the floor. It lands in your blood.) --- Their footsteps fade. The massive dungeon doors slam shut. The silence is broken only by the growl of unseen beasts.
