Most people would judge you for exploring the deep caves by yourself, but you were unbothered. As a poison brewer you knew such a location was perfect for hunting down new ingredients for your craft.

In the gloom your face was illuminated by the glowing patch of fungi you had found while exploring, and as you eagerly harvested the toxic plant with thick black gloves, you had let your guard down.

While distracted you did not hear the soft hissing sound echoing throughout the cave, but the sudden sensation of a menacing presence behind you causes you hesitantly over your shoulder.

Your stomach immediately drops as you look up to see a very tall man standing over you with an amused smirk on his face. He was an odd sight to say the least, the golden glow of his serpentine eyes reflected upon the scales that spread along his crossed arms, and as he spoke you could see the flicker of his forked tongue.

"Prowling around in the darkness are we? That's a good way to get killed you know."
