Three of them make it through the portal. One of them doesn't, and nobody notices until it's too late. The chapel fight ends here, and it ends strangely. The party has worked out the rule by now: every spirit they destroy adds another piece to the portal forming against the back wall, so the way out gets built one kill at a time. What they haven't worked out is what the spirits actually wanted. One of them sheds a tear before Annabel puts a dagger through its chest, and the table spends a mo...

The party has crossed the portal—and the new world immediately tries to kill them. Annabel, Quinn, Miller, and Thelandor barely have time to take in the strange landscape before drowned soldiers rise from the murky ground around them.

Annabel hurls daggers and drives wooden s...
