"THIS IS SO FUN!!!!"- it revelled in the battle, as it threw fire at the Darkness. It laughed! The corpse laughed like a child who played with his favorite toy.-"COME ON,PUPPET, LET'S DANCE MORE! MORE! WE SHALL DANCE TILL NOTHING LEFT BUT FIRE,ASH AND DARKNESS!!!"-he floated around dodging some vines and burning away others.
The hall around them shattered and melted.The hole was no more, covered with debris. The roof cracked and broke in places. The landscape was rapidly changing around them and as they battled on, the room filled itself with smoke. It was becoming harder and harder to breathe each and every second as the battle raged on… and the visibility was getting lower and lower.
If something wasn't going to be done soon, it would become impossible to win this fight...
[Maybe there is still a chance to escape? The mission is complete, in a sense. Some exit must be still available.]
[If you are determined to fight to the end, no matter how bitter, it is your choice, Maiden.]

Pain gripped her very essence, every breath a bellow's heave, every strike an iron's prod. Her visage burned beneath the vengeful crumbling walls and rafters like a sacrificial lamb. Yet though she clung to her altar, her defeat, her fall, drew nigh.
Thorns wond themselves about her body and pulled her backwards as embers torrented from the sky. She gasped against the stones grinding into her ribs where they replaced air, but laughter could not be as easily evaded.
Soundless amidst a sea of burning fumes, Talea could not resist him. The firespinner grew ever stronger, beating back her weakened cries as though she was nay more than a moth afore infernos.
Night o'ertook her, ripping her free from her trance even whilst her vision mated with darkness. She relented to him, granting him her body and will. Their goal had been obtained. There was no moment left for games.
Depart! Lest thy wounds destroy thee.
One last wall of thorns erupted between her and the creature of Tophet, granting her one final moment to flee.
Amidst the fires and haze, Night guided her into a realm of ash, in search of a path to escape.

In smoke and fire, dust and ash... Only a blind one can find an exit.
"I AM A GOD,YOU WORTHLESS MORTAL! HOW CAN YOU EVER KILL A GOD?!! EVEN WITH THAT SPECTRE AT YOUR SIDE?! WHAT A GRAND AND INTOXICATING INNOCENCE!!!!"
The screams of a burning man is all that accompanies Talea as she runs away...A door, a stairway leading ever upwards... Was it a way out? Or was she hallucinating all of it?
When she finally got out of the evershifting tunnels it was but a few hours left before the morning sun dissolved the darkness. She was far away from her entry point. And the way back was...not an option.
She needs to go back to the Hamlet...
[LWA:Second Verse]
[Fire and Darkness - Route Completed]
It was reported that a large fire broke out from underground ruins all the way to the surface in close proximity to the entry point. A giant ball of flame was seen flying away from there to the south.
The Cultist’s gathering there dispersed to the lands around the Hamlet and for now seem to avoid gathering in big groups.
Their Leader is nowhere to be found.
The fate of slaves is unknown as of now.
The mission is considered a partial success in regards to Talea. She will be given some of the pay owed to her - 2500 gold. The rest would be delivered to her once the rest of the group returns to the Hamlet.
The Awl remains with her, undamaged by the ordeal.
Talea's health suffers a blow - the ammounts of smoke breathed in and the burns gathered are only known to her, and it is up to her to determine their seriousness and how she will treat those.
