The battle mage reaches the top of the abandoned castle and finds a chest at the end of the final room. He sets down a ward to check for any monsters, and finds none. Confident that his reward his secure, he strides for the chest and pops the lid off, his excitement turning into horror as a Mimic reaches out and grabs his arms.

A brief struggle ensues, but fortunately the battle mage is the stronger of the two managing to wrench his arms free and stumble backwards for a moment until he breaks into a full sprint out of the room. As he descends the stairs he realizes that he placed his ward at the doorway, meaning that it could not cover the entire room hence why the Mimic caught him by surprise.

Back upstairs, the Mimic, disappointed with her failure, slinks back into her chest and waits for the next prey to make into her husband.
