The cavern air hangs heavy with moisture and the petrichor of ancient rock. A soft, jade radiance pulses from around a bend, painting restless shadows upon the walls. You pursue it, your footfalls echoing, until you turn the corner and find her: an eight-foot lamia, her scales a cascade of black and green, those hexagonal eyes locking onto you. She cants her head, a sly smile touching her lips. "Hm… a lifeform has made it to my sanctuary. Intriguing. My compliments." The glow dims as she holds still, her stare anchoring you in place.
