The path ahead is...

[Anastasia]

"Carefully," Ianvasah responds. "But why go to this trouble for all of this?"

[Iron Dragoon]

'It's your quest. You've been decidedly quiet about directing it, so I've just been exploring.'

[Anastasia]

"I thought it just a den of Sharrans, but this is so much more." Ianvasah says at last, "Is this an entire maze ahead?" she gestures, "And yet not a single Sharran to kill!"

[Iron Dragoon]

'Well, we'll find them eventually?'

[Anastasia]

'Is it possible all of this is a side trip?' Ianvasah considers, 'A great palace to hide a real palace?'

[Iron Dragoon]

'Sure it is, but what's your other option? Which path did you want to take?'

[Anastasia]

'...nothing, unless one of the other passages is right and we guessed wrong," Ianvasah says at last.

[Iron Dragoon]

'This is your quest. Keep going or go back and try another route?'

[Anastasia]

Ianvasah sighs slightly, 'This entire thing feels off to me,' she gestures. 'It's not a working temple, it's an orchestrated death trap. A maze of thorns and poison ivy.'

[Iron Dragoon]

'Then what do you want to do? This is your quest.'

[Anastasia]

'Let's backtrack,' Ianvasah says after a few moments. 'I have half a mind that we may be trapped, too.'

[Iron Dragoon]

'Lead the way!'

[Anastasia]

You return back - and unfortunately Ianvasah is proven true. The exit to this maze a room back is gone, stone slabs blocking the way out.

[Iron Dragoon]

'We can try to blast our way through, or try a different path from ahead.'

[Anastasia]

'Blast it," Ianvasah says right away, 'If they don't want us coming back, best that we do just that.'
