Stike's Severed Leg

A human lower leg severed cleanly above the knee, its pale flesh stark against the stone floor of the entrance hall. Shockeye holds it up by the foot, dangling it like a butcher’s trophy to demonstrate Stike’s suicide after surviving coronic acid poisoning. The severed limb’s abrupt reintroduction into the scene forces the remaining group to confront the Androgum’s casual brutality and Chessene’s strategic pivot toward lethal efficiency.
