The party has breached the second floor of the Malignant Mansion — a place where science and sorcery twist into something truly monstrous. In this Frankenstein's Lab–inspired horror gauntlet, every discovery drips with dread… and every mistake draws blood.
🕯️ Inside the Mansion, our heroes will face:
* Swarms of crawling hands 🖐️
* Giant, bloodthirsty spiders 🕷️
* And a ghost with an unforgettable grip… 👻
But here's the real question: Can they survive a fight they started themselves?
Or will four become three before the night is through?
