Eternal
Whatever Marik is hiding behind that door has peaked your interest. For all you know he’s hiding something that could possibly threaten the Empire. You make your way towards the door and Marik comes just shy of physically stopping you.
“Hey, where are you going?” he asks.
“I wanna see what’s behind that door now step aside Marik.”
“You can’t! There’s dangerous material in there. Chemicals and stuff like that. Safe for us derro, but completely toxic to a human like you.”
“Well as you pointed out not a few minutes ago, I’m better than the average human, now stand aside.”
“You can’t!” Marik shrieks and begins giggling.
“Marik, last chance to get outta my way…”
Marik suddenly stops his annoying giggling and begins snorting and hyperventilating while giving you a hostile stare. It would almost be amusing if you could see the humorous side of it.
“Alright fine! But you’re going to spoil the surprise!” he shrieks and gets out of your way.
You step to the metal door and open it up to a platformed level, which overlooks a huge room. It’s nearly the size of a small hamlet you think. There are several ladders that descend down to the lower level which contain translucent containers all hooked up with tubing and connected with each other and large strange machines. Even from this distance you can make out small figures floating in liquid within the containers.
You’re about to ask Marik what all this is when suddenly you hear him scream…
“SURPRISE!”
And then the back of your head is blown off by Marik’s personal pistol. Your lifeless body slumps to the floor soon after part of your brains do.
Marik and his fellow derro cover up your death by explaining to the Emperor that the escaped trolls killed you. The Emperor temporarily mourns your death, but ultimately decides that if something like a troll killed you, then perhaps you weren’t worthy of your status after all.
