You make your way back down the stairs (the way the newcomers just came from), and back into the Time Ark room (Room 16).
The numbers on the dial read 111-111-111. You can see the carnage strewn across the floor from the battles here, from the scorching that led to Esylia's (the medusa) death, to the number of orc soldier bodies, to the long-legged demons that were killed by the explosions from Grung's chancellor mage.
But past all that, the Time Ark device seems completely untouched by the chaos, the explosions, or the battles.
The water demon is still somewhat visible. Its blob-like back end has tentacles that you can still see in the throne room, though it appears to be investigating the large room with the pillars (room 2).
Just then, ablaze with fire and ash from the destruction of this same planet in the distant future, three creatures step through the Time Ark, brushing off the ash and heat. Unfortunately, they look very familiar:
Upon entering the Time Ark room, they stop, as if trying to
FEEL the direction they should go next.
The skeletal death knight points his sword in the general direction of the bizarre central room where the portal is and says in a deep and chilling voice, "Augmantium." It is a hulking knight about 7 feet tall. Its face is a blackened skull covered with shards of shriveled, rotting flesh. It has two tiny, glowing orange-red pinpoints for eyes. Its armor is scorched black as if it had been in a fire. The demeanor is so terrifying that you stop in your tracks in shock and awe.
The two demons are no less terrifying, and even larger. They seem to fill the whole room with their bulk as they look toward the northwest.
Meanwhile, you all stand in the stairway to the east of them, crouched in the shadows...for now.
Bane (the death knight) says in some ancient language, "Augmantium ga nai towa chikyu no owari ni naru ni chigainai te itta n janai."
The larger of the demons says back in Ancient Allevian:
Their appearance has alerted the water demon, which begins sending tendrils back toward the Time Ark room.
The six of you are in the stairway. Back in the central room await Malissin and Harak.
