Meanwhile, at the underground chamber...
[Static. Of course there would be static.]
When the possessed man attempted to direct his attention to the black glass mirror to try and see what was going on at the [Gallery of Cloaked Mirrors], all he got back was a whole mess of static.

[You're staring at the reason why my ritual was so rudely interrupted,] the possessed man answered while releasing a sigh of pure annoyance. [And the reason why you and your fellow warriors have just earned an opportunity to be greatly rewarded for services rendered.]
^Oh? And what kind of opportunity is that?^
