Sesketera rushes at you and launches a whirlwind flurry of thrusts and sweeps that force you away from Oriah’s unconscious body. You unsheathe your Kai Weapon and the clang of striking metal echoes throughout the hall as you parry his relentless rain of blows. Suddenly the sharp report of your colliding weapons is answered by the dull ringing of a bell in a distant part of the citadel. It is an alarm bell, and it is announcing your escape from the dungeons of the gaol.
