Outcome

Within moments, a swirling vortex of shadows forms in the doorway, opening into the bleak, desolate mirror image of the world. Asmodai steps through, pulling the cursed artifact behind him. The winds howl around him, but as a demon, he remains unaffected. He quickly finds a safe spot to hide the artifact and steps back through the portal just as it closes behind him.
