March of the Tortodrones/Ancient Grove

There is no combat here.

• A special lobby reminiscent of the Gloaming Wildwoods.
• Basil is located top left.
• A Mysterious Alchemy Machine stands near the center.
• A "Grim Gate" allows progress to the next floor when a Fiendish ID Card is used on it.

A place to gear up.

A the Fiendish Memo can be read by interacting with screens in front of the Grim Gate. A member of the party needs to use a Fiendish ID Card in order to access the next floor. To "use" the ID card, simply have one in your arsenal, and interact with the portal in the middle of the Grim Gate. Doing so will remove the chains, consume the ID card, and lock the party, similar to how using a Shadow Key works. The squad can proceed to the next floor once everyone is standing on the pad.

  Fiendish Memo (from Morgral'm)

Fiendish Memo

[All] Important Employee Reminder: An ID Card is required to access the staging area. Properly presenting the ID Card will consume it to power the Grim Gate. Remember: "When you Use it, you Lose it." ID Cards not used in this manner ("lost, broken, or misplaced") will need to be reissued by HR. The cost for a card replacement will be deducted from your next paycheck and a black mark will be added to your employee file. Don't let this happen to you. Don't lose your ID Card. Cheers, Morgral'm Assistant Supervisor of Resource Allocations, Undercorp
