The Maze
Together with Sonya you bring the man to her chambers and have a doctor from your crew check on him. You become increasingly aware of that fact that the man is under the influence of some strong curse; he seems neither dead nor alive, he cannot move nor speak, and even the doctor can't help him out. As you ponder on your next move, you decide that going back to the mountain path would be the best option. After all, you need to find where the ruin is, as Sonya previously suggested. It must be the only way to save the man!
Back on the mountain path, the blizzard has gone, but not without leaving its marks: debris everywhere, fallen trees and mountain rubble make it difficult for you to advance and follow the hints. Fortunately, you remember the savage scout is on your crew! With a grumble that sounded like a German threat – "Du musst Bilder rahmen!" – the explorer takes the lead. Sonya and the rest of the crew follow him confidently; he seems to know the area like no other.
Soon you reach a hidden path very close to the crossroads where you first saw the man. You decide to follow the magical discrepancies in the air and find yourself in front of an ancient stone gate which seems to be the entrance to a cave. You come closer and observe the gate. It is all covered with inscriptions and mysterious symbols you cannot yet decipher.
With butterflies fluttering in your stomach and a cold sweat on your forehead, you open the gate. What you see nearly takes your breath away: it is a beautiful garden which leads to a ruin. You decide to enter. As you take a closer look, you notice that the garden is, in fact, a maze! "Like in the old myths!" you hear Sonya quirking. With a side glance at your crew and happy Sonya, you decide to go forth into the maze and find out what surprise awaits you there. But first, you need to make sure you know your way out!
Will you find your way out of the maze?
Good luck,
