Interlude 3 - Ash, the Bounty Hunter, Part 2

The fortress itself was dilapidated, the smell of dust rot and stagnation in the air, so intense that Ash worried she might contract some status effect or disease just from being in this area.

This is... Without a shadow of a doubt, one of the grossest places I've been in.  Ash noted. 

Still, she walked past ruined wooden racks and tables, old unlit sconces and candles, and through various stone halls. She could barely see, but the darkness wouldn't last for too long though. As she continued, eventually she reached a door. Every couple of seconds, flashes of white and violet would come from the cracks around the door, indicating something creating light behind it.
