Scenario: Backdraft (Hard), 8 Party Members Only
Osric Melkire has gone rogue. The sergeant was last seen at the outer gates of Halatali, where he left behind half a dozen wounded men and women, Brass Blades all. Reports indicate that Melkire has an intimate history with those caverns, one that goes beyond the usual familiarity of pugilists with their forming training grounds. Fafajoni has requested your assistance, asking that you delve into the depths of the labyrinth after the man to learn more... and to bring him back in shackles, if possible.

Phase 3 - (33%-0%)
