After the Fight
H6 — Development
The Restricted Door
A thick laboratory door separates H6 from H7. It has no obvious keyhole on the outer face. Instead, three narrow glass indicators sit beside a brass handwheel.
The indicators represent pressure, ventilation, and reagent-feed status. Corven's staff were expected to stabilize all three systems before opening the comparative laboratory.
Challenge: Open the Laboratory Safely
Primary CheckCrafting DC 17, Thievery DC 18, or Alchemical Crafting-related Lore DC 16
Success opens H7 without arming its archive defense. Failure still opens the door, but H7 begins armed. A critical failure immediately activates the first stage of the Archive Purge.
