Reimian Empire

Cynius returned to the main group and asked everyone present about what had happened to them before they found themselves in this room.

-This palace has clearly become a haven for great evil and was sealed off from this world many years ago, - replied Celiaad, answering the priest's question, and turned to the others. -Upon entering, we were transported to a new dimension - a kind of barrier that apparently prevented us from entering the palace. The doors to the rooms contained a trial, either through combat or intellect, and by passing it, it was possible to reach the guardian of the barrier. After defeating him, we destroyed that dimension and finally broke through to the palace. I don't know if the main seal or any protection is still in effect, but now that we're here, we should expect the worst.

- I have some bad, but not unexpected, news for you, - she said, addressing the group. - The evil I felt outside is nothing compared to what is inside. Ideally, this palace should be leveled to the ground by a battery of the most destructive spellcasters, but even that would not guarantee anything.

-It could have been guessed. - the warrior pondered. - So, even if we start exploring the castle, we will still have to fight the local forces, and the best way to complete the mission and stay alive is to try to destroy their "source"?

- It seems that your masters sent you here with us, blindly, as expendable.

-That's what I don't understand. If we all die here, no one will be able to pass on information about the danger of this place. And if no one cares about us, then... the authorities are planning to use the forces of the palace for their own purposes, no doubt.
