Secretly A Society Summons You V

When you return with the additional supplies, Buddy is waiting for you by the small building where he met you earlier. He invites you to follow him around to the entrance of the building and to bring the items you gathered. At the door, he pauses and explains his plan. He begins with little background, as though you already know what’s about to happen.

“We’ll use this service entrance to access the main corridor. Once we reach the common area, I’ll pick up any unexploded devices and bring them to you. You’ll be waiting with the containment apparatus opened. Then, I’ll put the explosive in the container. You’ll move to the safety of the corridor, and I’ll place the inferno sphere in with the explosive and seal the container. I will then quickly move to the corridor with you.”

“When the timer goes off, I’ll check to make sure the explosive was successfully transferred to the lava pools of the Ember Lagoon. If everything goes well, we should have the common area cleared of unexploded devices within an hour.”

Without waiting for your response to this dangerous plan, Buddy opens the door and leads you into a small empty room lit by two glowing lanterns. At the far end of the room another door stands open and a series of steps lead downward. Buddy continues on to the stairs and begins to descend toward the corridor he mentioned. The stairs are well lit by a series of lanterns, but when you reach the bottom of the stairs and the entrance to the corridor, it is black and void. Buddy pauses at the corridor’s entrance and then turns back to you.

“This is too dangerous to do in the dark. We really need a lot of lights. Will you get us some lanterns and candles and bring them down here? I’ll take a lantern from the stairs and scout out the situation ahead.”
