After reaching the end of anything that could even remotely be seen as a tutorial, you stand before a door into the darkness. The hissing of the creature within was surely anything but a "Trinity". Did the mascot keep cats now perhaps? Was this an effort to garner attention from Astor the ionce nfamous "Cat King" of Astorea?
Who could say?
A Traveler rarely turns back when they see a possible secret hidden away from where the eyes of the masses should look upon. Your party enters the tiger's den.
"W-w-w-w-weLcoMe!"
"W-w-w-w-weLcoMe!"
The two Neko Trinitys you had followed in greeted you as they swayed like dolls on unseen strings. With them doing little more than repeating themselves you notice your surroundings.
This chamber was larger than any before. It also lacked a door or any other type of obvious path forward. On the walls, you could see bookcases, swords, the trunks of trees, the large fin of a shark, and even what looked like an actual pickup truck fused into the walls.
A truck? Was there at one point a more modern dungeon setting planned? Whatever this place was, it was becoming more like a trash dump for an endless variety of things all fused into one lost location.
But why had it appeared now?
These questions would not be answered, rather the long ear-piercing hiss once again echoed across the chamber. It was then that the slightly elevated floor in the center would boil with a black substance. It looked like the pool you may have encountered on your journey through this maze.
It wreathed...
It churned...
It rose...
A black shadow stretched out above the growing sludge, which was now beginning to burn with an aura of dark fire. The shadow twisted and bent. Long arms extending outwards, tendrils morphed out from what was forming a faceless head. The tendrils became tipped with claws of onyx
Two burning inhuman eyes appeared within the shadow.
The body lit with the same unholy fire. A burning torch of shadow upon a bed of expanding liquid miasma. It had taken a similar but larger form than the 2 Trinitys(?) before you. It screeched with such intensity it felt as if your eardrums would burst. You felt like it could suck your soul straight from your body simply by having your mouth open. Perhaps you should shut it then!
Was this a Dissonance?
Demonic?
A Glitch?
Something else?
The time for that had come and gone.
This kitty was hungry, and you all would make a fine banquet!

Battlefield Description & Battle Rules
[Your character may start from any zone in the 6th or 7th row.]
The innermost chamber of the Travelers Gate. A wide open space with many jagged and deformed objects jutting out of the walls. The stone floor rises some in the center where a single giant symbol has been engraved into it. It has unfortunately eroded to the point of being impossible to recognize.
- Victory Condition: Defeat (?) Unknown.
- Defeat Condition: Party is eliminated or retreats.
- This encounter will be rerun in the future if failed. The cutoff point for reruns is Season 5.
- All Actions recorded on your linked sheet from the LFG are usable. Including any 1 equipped Extra Slot ability.
- Surge and Twice are available.
- If the cycle damage put you at 0 HP at the moment of your posting, you may use Second Wind to negate some of the damage. Note that this ability is essentially an on-demand heal and therefore cannot negate over-damage.

Guidlines
- 250 word limit. Since this is not some main story encounter, huge amounts of text are rarely needed. Going over the limit will be met with a MUCH higher aggro towards your character and possibly additional penalties. Assuming your post is not ignored completely.
- 24-36 hour post cycles. I will be lenient on those who need a few hours (think up to 48) and will end cycles faster if everyone finishes up quickly.
- This DM Challenge will use the Playsheet. The sheet in your first post of the challenge will be locked in.
