Player! You've helped us advance from Kaluva's Nest to the Crystal Mezzanine, so I guess you're all right.

Player: "Have you gotten past the disk yet?"

Not yet. Our investigators keep getting stopped by Dayshade.

Every time they get close, it splits into Rukril and Ebonsoul, then pushes them back or kills them.

Are you ready for another chance to penetrate the Abyssal Splinter?

Player: Accept.

Let me give you the run down. After splitting into Rukril and Ebonsoul, they build a shield.

But they also cancel each other out! If you take Rukril's Splendor Fragment to Ebonsoul--and, conversely, Ebonsoul's Darkness Fragment to Rukril--his shield will disappear.

But you must coordinate your attacks. If one collapses before the other, the remaining enemy will become too aggressive to deal with.

Player: "An old game of switch-kill? I like it."

We may hold the Divine Fortress right now, but we could be attacked from beneath at any time.

Ah, Player, our potential savior. What news of Rukril and Ebonsoul? What lies beyond the Crystal Mezzanine? Safety, perhaps?

Player: "The disk is ours, but wait...there's more."

Good work! Your efforts and constant loyalty make the fortress a safer way-station for all Daevas.

An Artifact of Protection, you say. There must be a way to use it to our advantage.
