You chose to aid Brynjólfr in banishing the malevolent being. As you stand beside Brynjólfr, ready to confront the dark figure and its monstrous ally, a chilling wind sweeps through the clearing, carrying with it whispers of ancient curses. The malevolent being snarls, its form contorting with rage as it realizes your defiance. The black wolf's growls reverberate, teeth bared in anticipation of violence. Brynjólfr's staff pulses with a faint light, a beacon of hope amidst the encroaching darkness. Just as the malevolent being raises a hand, unleashing a wave of shadowy energy towards you, Brynjólfr calls upon the power of the runes inscribed on his staff. A blinding flash erupts, dispelling the darkness momentarily and revealing the true horror lurking beneath the malevolent facade. A twisted amalgamation of flesh and bone writhes within the shadows, a grotesque abomination born of forbidden magic. Its piercing wails echo through the clearing, sending shivers down your spine. Brynjólfr grits his teeth, focusing his will against the eldritch monstrosity, determined to banish it back to the depths from whence it came.
