As the pair began to leave the courtyard on foot, they'd pass through the wrought iron gate at the courtyard's entrance... and find themselves in a completely different forest. The sky was suddenly plunged into darkness, and they find themselves standing beneath an archway of statues of a beautiful woman, all holding out a sword - a sword that Sak'bas is carrying. In fact, as the pair walk beneath this archway, all of the swords begin to glow, including Briar.  After a few moments, the glow fades, but Briar seems to be... slightly altered.<br/><br/>(Briar gains 1 Sharpness point, and actually had 1 already, but whatever, this is thematic. It gains the Cold Iron property.)<br/><br/>The path ahead leads into a dark, twisted forest, that seems to be actively threatening and hostile.
