The Reflecting Pool

Your Heroes stumble upon a whisper-still pool of bright blue water in a glade. As they gaze into it, its perfectly mirrored surface begins to ripple and swirl with reflections of the past. An object shimmers at the water's surface.

On the map it readsGain special relics and items for your most-played classes.

Other written encounters

Before you pick

  • The prompt and the outcome are written separately in the game, and only the prompt is shown before you choose. Both are on this page.
  • A choice that costs health early is usually cheaper than it looks — health resets between fights, shards do not.
  • Where an event offers a relic, take the relic over the item: relics apply to every fight that follows.
  • Rank ups gained from events bring a modifier pool with them, which is worth more on floor 3 than on floor 9.
  • If an event starts a fight, its board is scaled to the floor you met it on, not to the floor it was designed for.
