It's been a while since the last time we saw the damned skulls, and now they're back. It turns out that they've been haunting the halls of the "Karma Hall" ever since they entered the building with the "Shifting Badge" . They've followed after he used the badge to get to other cities, and then they showed up again when he entered the hall with his "iron ticket" , which means he's in trouble. He can't figure out a way to destroy them, though, because the skulls are cursed by the ancient Shamans. He's convinced that they came from a curse on the ancients, but he doesn't know how to do it. The only thing he can figure out is that the skulls must have come from a cursed heavenly fate. The ancients didn't disappear overnight, but they did disappear overnight without trace. The first karma hall isn't too difficult to get through, because it's just a few steps away. They can just walk in, and they'll be fine. They won't be killed by the beams of light, though. They just have to be careful.
