Episode 1 · Episode Round 1

As Varikka and the rogue reach the narrow ledge, the ground beneath them gives a final, ominous creak before the unstable stone passage collapses in a cloud of dust and debris. The pair finds themselves momentarily sheltered from the rising floodwaters as the wall behind them crumbles, sending rocks and rubble tumbling down into the churning waters below. Water splashes up onto the ledge, but it's a small reprieve – the ledge creaks ominously under their combined weight, threatening to send them all tumbling into the abyss.
I let out a gasp as the ledge beneath our feet creaks ominously, the crumbling stone passage sending rocks and rubble tumbling down into the churning waters below. Water splashes up onto the narrow ledge, threatening to send us all tumbling into the abyss.
I grip the edge of the ledge tightly, my knuckles white as I try to keep my balance. Varikka is pressed up against me, her body trembling with fear and exhaustion.
I glance around the chamber, my eyes darting frantically for any sign of escape. But all I can see is the same crumbling stone and rising floodwaters. The air is thick with dust and the sound of rushing water, making it hard to breathe.
As the ledge creaks again beneath our feet, I know we can't stay here for long. We need to find a way out, and fast.
