An ingame screenshot of the Marketplace of the city of Ramuth. It's filled with a lot of vendors and customers with buildings with red roofs in somewhat medieval setting. There are street lamps emitting white flames which are connected to powerlines carrying magic energy in a pinkish color. The heroes face off against three bird enemies in turn-based combat. The one currently selected as target is known as "Poofy Chicken".

Four digitally painted pictures with four facial expressions of a Black man in knight's armor in half profile with short hair and brown eyes. He's wearing golden earrings and a colorful tribal-like cord band around his head with an ivory sigil on his brow. While there are different facial expressions (neutral, skeptical, sad, thoughtful) they all share an underlying "resting bitch face". This man is a professional and surely has no time for one's shenanigans!

Great... Now there are two blue-haired egomaniacs running around.

It's a pixelart screenshot. A blue-haired kid with hair covering his right eye and wearing a big robe stands in a quarry saying to another person nearby: "Nalla, you're so lame." It's a pixelart screenshot. A blue-haired man with hair covering his left eye and wearing dark-purple robes turns angry towards the blue-haired kid: "Without me you'd still be grounded and aunt Leonore would force you to go to your violin lessons! So shut up!" It's a pixelart screenshot. The blue-haired man with hair covering his left eye and wearing dark-purple robes continues: "Then just make up something new to try out, I don't care. You're the one wanting to become the world best evil mage, not me." He has a very smug grin on his face.

😈tfw you're a scheming villain and your coworker is just out for casual murder...

Zapientus! No! You can't just delete your way out of a boring conversation! 😡

Shown is the interior of an ancient battle ship with two villains talking. Warsmith Zapientus - a cybernetic daemon with an exposed brain - and Lazaar, Dark Messaiah and head of the extremist military cult Nigurath are having a talk about one of their allies. Zapientus: "Why do we bother with this dull would-be prince?" Zapientus: "Why don't we simply remove the prince?" Lazaar: "Not everything in this world is as simplistic as your machines, old friend."

The heroes stumble into the "Twilight Grove". A holy site with great significance to the locals and some think there are also secrets hidden in its depths.

What do you think they will find?
