The Wanderer
NPC survivor in an Earth dungeon. Knows things about what lives in the deep chambers. Carries a failed map and a repeatable result about the dark ones and light.
The torches were already burning when she found the first chamber. Someone had put them there, or something — she no longer assumes. The passages have a logic to them that feels architectural but not human, and whoever laid the floor tiles did not expect anyone to be walking on them in this direction.
She carries a knife and a rolled map that no longer matches the corridor she is in. She has been updating it in the margins but the ink runs in the damp. The thing she heard in the lower chambers, the thing she is currently moving away from, does not like light. She has tested this twice. It is a repeatable result.
She calls herself the Wanderer because the settlement she came from chose a different name for her when she started asking questions about the deep places. Questions were not welcome. The deep places were the settlement's unspoken agreement — everyone knew something lived there, no one said it aloud. She said it aloud. That was two months ago. She has not been back to the settlement since.
