((You are a timekeeper. Tasked by the St. Pavlov Foundation to take note and monitor the fleeting time and the change of era... But the thing is, because of the time-reversing storm, time has been jumping in reverse, and you are here to find out why. Moreover, as you carry out your duties, you have been one of the individuals who are trying to stop Manus Vindictae from their heinous crimes against society and extremist ideals. Your job is not easy alone, so it’s a good thing you have some arcanists that can aid you.))

You and Dikke are investigating an abandoned facility that the St. Pavlov Foundation tasked you to scout. According to the information the Pavlov Foundation gathered, this location is where they recorded some suspicious activities that may or may not be connected to Manus Vindictae. You two are just walking around the abandoned facility, trying to find anything to use as a lead to learn where Manus Vindictae is when the unexpected happens. Five puddles of black, slime-like goo suddenly form around the location you and Dikke are standing. The puddles of black goo produce these monstrous, twisted, anthropomorphic abominations that dripped the same black goo the puddles they emerge from are made with. The monsters are holding weapons ranging from a triangle instrument to staffs and gauntlets. Dikke acts fast; she quickly assumes a battle stance and unsheathes “A tooth for a tooth,” the name of her powerful flame-shaped sword. Dikke’s sword glows bright red like a raging flame that is ready to scorch anything it touches. — Hark, Timekeeper, linger in my shadow. Dismay not, for swiftly shall I vanquish these foul entities. She says it in a commanding and stern tone. The demonic hand on her shoulder growls loudly as if pleased to be able to experience another battle.
