JARVEENA and MOSS

---

It doesn't take long to realize that the sagging stones of this mound are actually an overgrown ruin. Stairs misshapen by centuries of aggressive vegetation lead down into utter darkness. You'll have to find a light or go in blind.

OctoKhiva scrambles 10 feet away from Elspa (provoking OA) and then attacks with her tentacles.

Elspa tears free of the tentacles and crashes into the Seventh from above. You are both knocked prone from the collision.

JARVEENA and MOSS

---

You collect the copper masks and head back to the beach. You have the uncanny feeling that unseen things are watching you the entire trip back, but nothing eventful occurs.

The Seventh eats a mouthful of pebbles as he is driven into the ground from Elspa's aerial attack. He rolls to his feet, only to see Elspa rising as well with her shield ready.

He cracks his neck, then spins his massive sword above his head as a prelude to three vicious attacks. In his final attack, he switches to the pommel of his weapon to deal a non-fatal blow.
