Infiltrate the inner altar of Whispering Ruins, defeat or pacify the Shadow Wraith, and retrieve the Lost Sunstone Chalice.
As you push open the ancient moss-covered stone archway, three Shadow Ghouls burst from the crumbling pillars, their red eyes glowing with feral hunger.


"I step back into shadow cover and cast Magic Missile at the lead ghoul, aiming for its glowing core!"

"I raise my dwarven shield, unleash a warcry, and sweep my longsword to intercept the flanking ghouls."
Valerius's glowing darts obliterate the lead ghoul in a flash of force magic, while Lyra's heavy shield absorbs the remaining attacks before her longsword severs their dark magic binding. The entrance is cleared!

Deep inside the sanctum, a massive obsidian door bars your way. Runes of purple flame glow across its surface, pulsed by a guardian ward mechanism.


"I brace against the door frame to check for physical mechanical counter-traps while Valerius analyzes the runes."
