Episode 14.2.b
>The Praetorium of the Societas Potentium, Aegyptus, 80 CE<
The last of the guards goes down, and Marcus shouts for more. They pour in from the doorways with their swords already up, and Marcus laughs at you across the court.
"Foolish children," he calls. "You cannot beat me."
Another voice rings out, one you know well. Tertius is here.
"Recentii! I will keep you safe, always!" He lifts his sword.
A third voice cuts across his, cool and perfectly clear. "That I cannot allow. The Lapis is mine. It is not theirs!" You know this voice as well, and you know it at once: Sinistrus.
Tertius keeps his eyes on Marcus and the guards. "What are you all looking at?" he asks. "I see no one else."
Sinistrus is standing a few paces from him. "Blockheads, every one of you," he says. "You have led me to the Lapis, and now its power is mine for the taking."
Behind you, the door of the final chamber has begun to close.
Prompt: Stay and fight beside Tertius against Marcus, or try to reach the final chamber before the door shuts.
