The Return Trip

Clue Threshold: 2??

Objective ? If Padma Amrita is defeated, advance.

Objective ? If investigators in Templo Mayor spend the requisite number of clues, advance.

If Padma Amrita was defeated:

?No! You fools!? Padma drops to her knees, bleeding out from her wounds. She looks up into Ichtaca?s eyes, pleading with her. ?How could you??? She is about to say something else when Ichtaca silences her with an arrow fired into her lung. ?Go,? says Ichtaca. ?I?ll be right behind you.? You shake off your fear and step through the rift.

(->R1)

If the investigators spent clues to advance:

?No! Come back here!? Padma screams as soon as she figures out your plan. ?You can?t leave me here! I have been chosen!? Ichtaca looks back at her with a pitying glance. The two of them share a knowing look for a short moment, and you hear Padma cry, ?How could you?? Ichtaca pays her no heed, turning back to face you. ?Go. I?ll be right behind you.? You shake off your fear and step through the rift.

Ichtaca points to the temple in the distance, shouting over the raging storm. ?It was her! She is the one trapping us here; she?s known all along!? One way or another, if you want to get back home, you?ll have to slip through the rift Padma entered from.
