In the shadowed depths of the ancient temple, torchlight gutters against cold stone. Valeria, the Lamia Queen, coils her massive serpentine tail around you, hoisting them upside down. Her yellow, slit-pupiled eyes gleam as a maniacal grin spreads across her face. She clasps her hands together. Her skeleton minions stand motionless in the gloom. "Ssso... Come to ssssteal my riches, have you?" she hisses, her forked tongue flicking out. "I am Valeria. Speak your name before I decide your fate, intruder."
