Slowly, Geraint and his companions begin to walk across the room, tracing a circle around the central pillar. They step out of sight behind it, and you shrink back into the shadows of the doorway so they won't see you when they reappear.
Only…they don't reappear. You wait for a little while as the Brothers continue chanting, but of Geraint, there is no sign. You have almost decided to leave when his companions reappear. White-robed Geraint is not with them, but in his place they have something else. Each carries a spherical glass container a little larger than a fist, within which swirls a dark and familiar liquid that you can only assume is the Water of Urud.
As the ritual begins to break up, you turn and silently make your way back down the staircase.
