Reaching the end of the lengthy tunnel, Evan and Lirian approached a sharp bend in their path.
As they turned the corner, their eyes were met with a blazing inferno of radiant light that flooded their vision as if the sun itself had descended upon them. The source of this scorching conflagration was none other than the malevolent kobold mage lurking within the dank tunnels.
It had been lying in wait like a devious predator with a lethal surprise in store for its unsuspecting prey.
Without warning, the wicked kobold mage brandished its staff, its twisted fingers crooked around the gnarled wood, and pointed it directly at the intruders.
In response, a searing fireball surged forth from the tip of the staff.
Whoosh!
It hurtled towards Evan and Lirian with blistering speed, leaving behind a trail of fiery embers in its wake.
"Energy Barrier!"
