Eternal

You’re doing it. You’re getting her out of your life forever. No longer will you have to put up with whatever mind games she has planned whenever you’re forced to meet with her.

You step from the circle and break your magic link with Mistress. She’s immediately taken off guard.

“Agh! You fool! What are you doing?! Step back to the circle before you doom the both of us!” she exclaims as she is presumably psychically assaulted by the gnome souls.

You know Mistress is strong and can probably fend off the attack if really pushed, but you intend on giving her another distraction by drawing your sword. She’s either going to have to stop you which will expose her mind to the vengeful souls or not stop you and get stabbed which will have the same effect.

Suddenly your own mind is completely shattered and multiple souls assault your mind. The pain is excruciating and you collapse on the floor and begin convulsing. You aren’t innocent in all this as far as they’re concerned. Your involvement in the Felkan campaign has probably resulted in most of the gnomes being rounded up and sent to Gnome’s Home in the first place.

For the first time you not only see the horror that has been this place, but you also experience all of it. Your mind can’t take it and neither can your body, which begins to lose all control of its functions. You’re leaking all manner of bodily fluids out every possible place you could be leaking from.

Eventually you’re nothing more than an empty shell, but not quite dead. The souls have stopped attacking and Mistress is lying on the floor not too far from you own, her own mind destroyed as well. The pair of you continue to stare upward and slack jaw in a comatose state for quite some time, until Kane eventually wanders down to investigate.

Kane isn’t quite sure of what to make of all of it, but sensing that he can’t leave the pair of you like this he comes up with his own solution.

Unknown to you, Kane was possessed by a wendigo during his tour in Rask, though his hunger is well sated here. Kane never liked Mistress’ threats of exposure or taunts and proceeds to eat her alive. Of course being a vegetable she is unable to scream as his teeth sink into her flesh.

You on the other hand, Kane ends your life with a blade to your throat out of respect for you before feasting on your corpse.
