D6=1:A man is sitting on the steps leading up to the main entrance to the tower. He is looking for work. He is willing to do any kind of work - even menial tasks. He will not do anything dangerous.

Refusal ignites a deadly arcane duel, her prophecies potentially impacting your fate.

At the mirror's base, a sorrowful empress made tangible by ethereal energy beseeches them, "Find the locus of power, lest all turn to ruin." The room suddenly glows brightly with spectral light as 2d6 mirror-born ethereal warriors step forth, echoing phrases about impending catastrophes and the need to reshape destiny.
