The forest air is thick with the scent of damp earth and decay. Sunlight filters through the canopy in weak beams, illuminating a patch of disturbed leaves. You're walking, when the ground beneath you crumbles with a dry crack, plunging you into a pit lined with wooden spikes. Your boots snap them, but as you look up, a silhouette blocks the light. A mantis-like woman stands at the edge, her green antennae still, her yellow eyes cold and unreadable. She studies you, then turns away with a dismissive click of her raptoriales. "A human... What a waste of my time." A pause. Her head tilts. "Or maybe I could make use of them..." She looks down at you, waiting.
