The redfaced man roars and moves to strike Jase with his club.

The other flinches and holds his ground.
“She'd become a governess. It was one of the few jobs a known lady could do. And she'd taken to it well. She'd sworn that if she did indeed ever find herself dancing on rooftops with chimney sweeps she'd beat herself to death with her own umbrella.”

The redfaced man goes down winded, falling like a sack of bricks.

However, the other, frightened by Jase's insane grin, jerks up his amulet and says a single word.

A blast of rushing heat flies from it at Jase.

The redfaced man screams and releases his club.

Cultist number two evidently decided he had seen enough and turned to flee. He hadn't made five steps before a flash of green energy nailed him from behind, knocking him to the floor.

Hanging from the wall, Jase sees the Imp the group had fought before. It smiles wickedly at him and made a gesture that made one thing abundantly clear.

You're next.

It shimmered and seemed to vanish.

The man doesn't appear to be breathing. Whatever the Imp did must have pushed his already excited heart to the limit.

The invisible Imp watches Jase continue. It had no intentions of fighting the warrior itself. The two novice cultists had proved to be less than.. impressive.

It needed something more.. substantial.

With a wicked grin, the Imp scampered in the opposite direction of Jase.

----------------------

Jase soon reaches a dead-end, with a single large wooden door.

Meanwhile

Our other heroes are still traveling down the seemingly endless hall. By now, it has become clear that something is terribly wrong with this place.

Jase hits the unlocked door and keeps going, ending up sprawled on the floor of the room.

Right in front of a dozen armed cultists, who appear to have been in the middle of combat practice.

"Kill him." Says one tall figure in metal armor, obviously some kind of high ranking officer.

The sudden flailing blows manage to take some of the cultist by surprise, and two of them go down injured. The other cultists manage to respond, avoiding Jase's frantic blows and responding with a few of their own.

The armored figure stands with arms crossed, observing the combat.

Once again, Jase's unorthodox tactics take the cultists by surprise. One of his flailing limbs catches on a cultist's leg, making him fall backwards while dragging two others down with him.

Several of the cultist go down, and soon only four remain. Apparently, these are somewhat better trained, as they circle around the wild fighter rather than charging him.
