Combat Encounters

	Opponent	Encounter Text	Notes
	TWISTED HOUND	As you walk the halls, you hear a click, click, click of footsteps behind you. You turn around to see a hideous mockery of a hound, with bone quills piercing through every inch of its flesh.
	THIRD EYE GANGER	"Intruder!" You turn around to see the shout's source and find a lone guard. Luckily it doesn't seem like anyone else has noticed.
	THIRD EYE SORCERER	As you move through the hallway, the world seems to twist and turn. For a moment, you wonder why you're on the ceiling. Then you wonder why there's someone else on the ceiling with you.

If you opened the door with Eclipse, you do not need to maintain Etheric to be in the Underground Asylum, but do need Eclipse to get in again. If you blew open the door with dynamite, it remains open.
