Eternal

Something about this is suspicious and you aren’t risking it. You push yourself away from Semra.

“What are you doing?! I’m not done yet!” Semra exclaims.
“Well I am. I’m not going to be put in a position where you can access my brain.”
“You damn well better, because when the Emperor has access to it, he’s not going to be nice about it like me.”
“Look, let’s just get this over with.” You say.

Semra wants to argue more, but she sees she isn’t going to convince you.

“Fine.” She replies.

After speaking the password, the door opens and you both enter the Emperor’s chambers. You cast your magical shield spells and distance yourself from Semra. Almost immediately you hear the voice of the Emperor, though he hasn’t made an appearance yet.

“So it’s come to this has it? After all I’ve done for you. After all I’ve given you. You turn traitor for a piece of svelk tail?”

The Emperor steps out from his bedroom.

“Son, I am disappointed.” He says and then just stares immediately in your direction. You feel a slight pain in your head, which then gets much worse nearly immediately.

Semra casts a spray of acid, and while it sizzles and melts objects within the designated direction, the Emperor’s own defenses absorb it. Meanwhile you’re collapsing on the floor clutching your head in extreme pain.

You bleed from your nose, from your ears and finally your eyes. Your death screams are ignored as Semra attempts to defend herself against the Emperor’s overwhelming lightning blasts.

Your brain liquefies inside your skull and you are no longer a factor in this attempted grab for the throne.
