Darkest Dungeon Soundtrack: Battle in the Ruins (Extended Version)

Extended version of Battle in the Ruins from Darkest Dungeon.
I often find myself searching the web for awesome soundtracks to games I enjoy to play or watch. However, many that I find are the OST, which tend to be short, while I would instead prefer versions that I could listen to at length. So, I've taken it upon myself to develop this extended cut of the original. I hope you all enjoy.

[@burakakbay374]

Beeyem the Beheeyem I probably Did. Because I played the game in past like 30-40 hours I guess. I probably heard them but personally I do like this (and Last boss'es music that I heard from KZbin because never reached him before). I am afraid I stoped playing because I went another country for studying and cannot turn back until Scholar ends at start of Summer, but I learned some New things from a youtuber from my country and I'll try to finish the game. Really want to beat Last boss myself.

[@arkthompson9869]

As our heroes go through the perilous ruins, they are attacked by skeletons from ages past. These foul creatures have been summoned by the numerous necromancers in the ruins. The plague doctor tosses a plague grenade at the bone champion blighting it. The bone courtier throws a tempting goblet at the antiquarian forcing her to drink. Luckily, the antiquarian got down just in time. Angered, the bounty hunter pulls the bone courtier closer to him. "Come hither." He says. The bone arbalest defends his comrade by firing an arrow at the bounty hunter. Critical hit! Unnerved and unbalanced! The leper evens the odds by swinging his mighty broken sword at the bone courtier and bone champion. The bone courtier was destroyed. The bone champion, in a fit of rage, shakes the ground. Our heroes are hit but, stand there ground.
