[Endgame: rise or DROWN]

[warpweft]

[How long have you been exploring Nessa's palace now? You've met her family, viewed her memories, learned how to fight as a witch and tried to find the source of her power and the Treasure of her palace: the Voidheart. And along the way, you've tired your best, with mixed success, to avoid the incarnation of her eldest cousin and the representation of her trauma and fear, the Nightmare of Esmau.]

[Wherever you are in the Palace right now, you feel the ground briefly shake under your feet. Little shakes here and there haven't been out of the ordinary - Esmau is trying to blow the place down to the studs, after all. But that felt different. That felt....worse.]

[Both Magic Missiles strike Esmau's shield - for 3 damage and 4 damage respectively, which opens the Node of Repurposing, releasing a small burst of healing under Minato to restore (1d5+1: 2+1=3) 3 HP.

Minato: 77/100 HP

Node of Repurposing then opens Node of Balance, which inflicts 1 Psyshock on Esmau.

Then the Void Bolt strikes next, inflicting 3 damage and charging one of Akira's spells. Additionally, as the Void Bolt had been charged by Minato's Umbral Favor, Esmau is now Volatile, rings of purple energy crackling over her body as her shield is continuously punished.]
