You cautiously approach the figure standing at the altar, ready to confront them. As you get closer, you notice that the figure is wearing a cloak, their face obscured by shadows. They seem deeply engrossed in their ritual, unaware of your presence.

Suddenly, the figure turns towards you, their eyes glowing with an otherworldly light. They raise their hand, and a surge of dark energy shoots towards you, threatening to engulf you.

What would you like to do next?

1. Dodge the dark energy and counterattack.

2. Use the amulet's power to shield yourself.

3. Attempt to reason with the figure and stop the confrontation.

4. Retreat and leave the hidden chamber.

Please choose your next action.
