It is still fighting cautiously after Alexia's onslaught, though, and fends her off. Gregory, meanwhile, moves past his allies and perches on the stairs to get a shot at the monster.

Distracted by Grace's attacks, the Piscodemon takes the bolt in the ribs; as it staggers, Kyle moves around behind Grace to trap the fleeing Piscodemon on the pier, and Elizalotte ducks around Alexia to take advantage of the monster's staggering.

She tears the Piscodemon's neck with her sword, and before it hits the ground, Heath vaults over its corpse and turns on the last of the monsters.

For a moment, everything is still, save for the gentle lapping of water against the pier. Ahead of you, the luminescent water provides plenty of light to see by. If you look farther along the pier, you can see a large, collapsed vessel of some kind to the side; it looks like a boat that had suffered an explosion. The deck is covered in debris and, if you look closer, corpses. There is a giant hole in the deck, charred black around the rim. On the dock, next to the gangplank, is the corpse of someone wearing hooded Templar's robes, holding a sword in one hand and a piece of paper in the other. The trail of blood ends at that person.
