Scene 154

Zash

Are you for real? That's what you both saw?

Yeah, and there was nothing we could do...

Musoh

If Iori's description is anything to go by, then it sounds like we've found the boss from our dream. It's gotta be connected to the Swordsman of Salvation quest.

Stina

Yeah, I agree...

Stina

Not to mention, I don't think that space is the real basement of the Black Iron Palace.

Lara

What do you mean?

Stina

Well, I did as much reading as I could on the place...

Stina

But all I found were records saying the basement was a jail used to imprison criminals.

Stina

Somehow, that door is connected to a totally unrelated area... Triggered, I think, by the Swordsman of Salvation quest.

Stina

I think that space is actually a Sanctuary, located somewhere far away.

Zash

Wait, so we gotta beat that thing? Ugh… It's not, like, a secret superboss or somethin'?

Stina

There is hope, I think. Look at this.

The brooch? What about it? U-Uh...

Stina

You see it too, right? At some point its shape changed slightly.

Musoh

Oh, damn! I hadn't even noticed.

It's a minor change, but it feels like we can make use of it somehow...

Zash

To give us some kind of buff effect, maybe? Like a jewel!

Musoh

You might be on to something.

Musoh

Your room's closest, {HeroName}. Head upstairs and check your Chest for us, would ya?

Musoh

Might be able to access more systems now.
