Carver’s Last Radiant Bolt

Depicted moment

During Session 5, the vampire-like creature summoned by the cellar séance knocked both Rage and Ignatius unconscious. Carver remained standing and struck it with a final radiant crossbow bolt, reducing it to dust while Erasmus watched in silence.

The illustration emphasizes the decisive final instant rather than preserving every tactical position from the battle.

Canonical status

• Canonical Session 5 gallery art.
• Party appearances and relative scale follow the Darkon Party Portrait: Rage remains the largest, Ignatius is tall, and Carver is the shortest.
• The enemy’s appearance remains artistic interpretation because its name and precise creature type were never established.
• Erasmus’s exact face and clothing remain artistic interpretation.

In a candlelit stone cellar, Carver braces at the left and fires a narrow white-gold crossbow bolt across a charcoal pentagram. It strikes a pale, dagger-wielding young man who breaks apart into dark ash. Towering Rage lies fully visible across the lower foreground beside his greataxe, and Ignatius lies unconscious at the right with a silvered sword nearby. Erasmus’s faint ghost watches from the stairs.
