Following Veronica's lead, you approach the glowing pedestal in the center of the chamber. As you draw nearer, a low chant fills the air, reverberating off the ancient stones and sending shivers down your spine. Suddenly, runes carved into the pedestal start to glow brighter, casting an eerie light around the chamber. A figure cloaked in shadows steps out from behind a pillar, their eyes gleaming with otherworldly knowledge. "Welcome, seeker," the figure intones, "I am Hentschel, guardian of this sacred place. Only those pure of heart may seek the truth within these walls."
