As Kevin, the Morris brothers, Tillie, and the others ventured deeper into what appeared to be a tunnel, they were met with a putrid stench of decaying bodies. Upon closer inspection, they discovered skeletons on the ground and a metal token, revealing that the deceased were members of the Alliance. Uncertain if the ruins had already been looted by this group, they decided to press on despite the looming danger.
As they progressed, Elijah Tanner discreetly handed a second token to Kevin. The inscriptions on the tokens hinted at the deaths of high-ranking Alliance members at the hands of the Water Guardian. Kevin contemplated whether the Alliance had truly discovered the ruins and pondered the origin of the information received from the Mavericks.
A sudden realization struck Kevin – the ancient ruins might be a deception, a ruse orchestrated by the Alliance to manipulate the Mavericks. This revelation filled him with unease as he considered the possibility of walking into a carefully laid trap. The image of the Alliance leader haunted his thoughts, but Kevin couldn't discern the true nature of the Alliance's motives.
Upon reaching an opening, the group was astonished by the opulence within – golden floors, gemstone-covered walls, and shelves adorned with ancient artifacts and medicinal herbs. Excitement surged as the group envisioned the wealth they could amass. However, Kevin sensed something amiss and urged caution, suspecting hidden traps.
Despite Kevin's warning, some members of the group, led by greed, moved to claim the treasures. Tensions rose as Calvin Morris accused Kevin of wanting to monopolize the findings. A verbal confrontation ensued, with Jake Morris defending Kevin's cautious approach.
Kevin, maintaining his composure, emphasized the potential dangers and urged everyone to halt. Nevertheless, the argument persisted until a discovery shifted the focus – the treasures were rigged with a poisonous trap. Those who had hastily approached the riches suffered a gruesome fate, succumbing to paralysis and internal injuries caused by the poison.
As panic set in, Kevin's immunity to poisons became evident, raising suspicion among the afflicted. Calvin Morris accused Kevin of orchestrating the poisoning, but Kevin dismissed the claim, highlighting the absurdity of warning them if he were the culprit. With no cure at hand, Kevin revealed that only he, or perhaps the Alliance leader, had the expertise to formulate an antidote.
Greg Van Tilley, realizing the gravity of the situation, pleaded with Kevin to save them, promising anything in return. Kevin, aware of the bargaining power he held, agreed to provide an antidote in exchange for future favors. The revelation left the fate of the afflicted in Kevin's hands, marking a critical turning point in their perilous journey through the ancient ruins.
