DUNGEON - BELLMARE ENCLAVE (BELLMARE MOUNTAINS, PT 2)
The shadows are starting to grow very long as you crest his particular ridge - it's not night yet, but it will be soon. In the shadows of the afternoon, with a tall mountain already blocking the sun, lies a snow-covered valley that is different from the ones you've come across thus far in your investigation.
This valley is home to a town, and unlike all the settlements you've seen so far - Incendia, the Telovia mining town, and the manor - it's very much active. There are actual people in the streets, visible from above, going through their days on snow-free streets, bundled up against the cold.
Those of you who asked were told of the handful of people who didn't go into the slumber of stasis as the Fissure conditions of the world grew worse and worse, instead isolating themselves and trying to continue living their lives as they could. Now, it seems, you've found exactly such a group.
Welcome to the Bellmare Enclave, and enjoy your stay.
[[OOC: Welcome to part 2 of the dungeon! For the most part, interaction with the town's NPCs can be handwaved as described on the main information post. Worth noting are the following major things: The Bellmare Enclave isn't expecting visitors, though the people are generally friendly to the new arrivals. They don't know about the time dilation effect of their Fissure - to them, it's only been about eighteen years since the Slumber Plan was put in place and they withdrew from the world. And finally, by a similar token, they have no idea how far the Fissures outside of their own have grown - while it's not uncommon for them to find odd objects from time to time, they'll assume that the characters are just arrivals from other places within their own world, rather than outsiders, until told otherwise.]]

And... I pray... that these foul visions do not affect you.

[Another vision hits. They're back in that military base, planning their strike to steal the armour back. It's going as it had; Marie insisting that she can outsmart the Legendary General, Alice trying to offer her own idea, Celadon offering that Alice's chances of killing them were basically zero.
The change comes when Marie listens. They go with Alice's suggestions, slipping around the other direction in the shadows rather than the by-the-book counter Marie had proposed. The soldiers they had "passed without issue" in the real world look over to where the party would have been, confused.
When the elite guard shows up on cue to ambush them, they're expected, and the party has enough of an upper hand to escape with some of the artifacts.
As the vision ends, Marie covers her face with a groan.]
Apparently, admitting you were right and I was wrong wasn't enough. This place has to agree.
