Meanwhile, having stumbled into a legendary sunken city, Young Warrior’s party comes across a group of fearsome non-prayers carrying out a grotesque ritual. These rookies are clearly in way over their heads—but luckily for them, they’re fighting alongside someone who sees this sort of thing as a light warm-up…
