Bree is a bandit. She doesn't mess with any of this creepy Fade shit. She's heard of rifts in the Fade opening up and demons pouring out, but her band of thieves always steered clear of them. But it's kind of hard to avoid when you're backed up in an elven ruin by a group of mostly mage explorers on your turf and no idea where the back door is. A Revenant is completely outside of her realm of experience, plus her injuries are catching up to her. So this is how she goes out: cut down by a fucking corpse in armor. It'd make a good story, if anyone else on her team was still alive to tell it. In the end, she dies alone before anyone can reach her. At least it's quick. The pain from the fire was becoming too much.

The shades, meanwhile, glide along the ground towards the explorers still in the other room. They're especially drawn to the two Rifters in the group and raise their arms to strike.
