You are back beneath a blood moon and listening to Karsus Radania, a legends of eventress podcast.

Last time, I faced off against the Azran expedition for the final time. In the duel for our fates and the fate of all of Borovia began.

that instantly killed the entire expedition and ripped these souls from their bodies.

From the crimson ooze that coated the room an avatar of the entity known only as the Blood Queen took form.

Despite my defeat, this is not over.

However, the pulsing glow from the splintered doorway at the end of the hall shows that it is probably not for very long.

Then, you hear an exhausted sigh behind you, followed by the clanging of plate armor on stone,

as Sergei falls to one knee, a single hand on the stone to support him as he breathes heavily.
