[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.]

[The Void Bolts strike Esmau twice, each one making the Volatile crackle and burn at Esmau without detonating it thanks to Bestow Curse. With the Volatile Spark roiling over her, she takes 8 damage and 7 damage.

Then, Minato is healed for (1d5+1: 4+1=5) 5 HP (Minato: 56/100 HP) and Esmau gains 2 more Psyshock.

And finally, Phantasmal Killer is unleashed. Esmau growls and swipes at something unseen with her glaive as she holds her head with one hand (Psyshock: Roll 1d20: 3, no activation). Whatever her nightmare is, she manages to fend off the worst of it, but she still takes 15 damage from the Phantasmal Killer on its own.]
