Delving deeper requires hex-casting, so Coen must return by day; Anca will wait here — but first check for monsters.
They have reached the ancient ruin's heart and its awaiting trials; complete them and leave before the place collapses overhead.
A cul-de-sac — yet a disturbing idol stands at the room's centre, surely serving some purpose.
To proceed, Coen must endure pain — a great deal of it. He can do it.
They are stuck; the bridge ahead has collapsed. But Coen does not yield easily — another way must exist.
They stole into chambers concealed from the trial-takers; curious, yet they must retrace their steps to the central complex.
Stuck again — but the tablet etched with magic likely holds the way forward. Take a look.
The engraved tablet buzzes with sorcery; now Coen has to activate it with the correct incantation.
The statues have come alive — and they want Coen dead. Survival is the trial's nature.
Could this be the Font? By what mechanism does it operate? Scouting the area should yield clues.
Their task is done; a last look around, then tell Anca when ready to leave. Much to discuss, surely.

Endings
- No, no, no — Coen abandoned Anca amid the ruins; now she lies dead, and some thing must have crept from the rubble to slay her.
