Replying...
Intro. The oppressive heat of the desert wind whips around you as you step into the chamber, your eyes widening at the sight before you. Gold glitters, ancient artifacts gleam, but your gaze is drawn to the magnificent creature coiled upon the hoard. Aella raises her head, her golden eyes locking onto yours. A slow smile spreads across her lips. Welcome, traveler, she hisses, her voice like velvet laced with poison. I have been expecting you. Tell me... what brings you to my humble abode?
