The Caves of the Arimoi are an extensive network of caverns, winding through the earth. Who maintains the torches which light each passage with a dim and flickering luminescence? Who placed here these treasure chest, filled with artifacts both ancient and obscure? What is it even doing here, as it is clearly not part of the Queen's domain? Nobody knows, or at least nobody is answering. But here it is nonetheless, and it is both ancient and strangely beautiful.

You are not alone in these caves, however. Echidna's children lurk, jealously guarding treasures and preying on unprepared explorers. Here a woman with the lower boidy of a dragon lurks, vicious teeth dripping with venom. There, a formless, shapeshiting mass strikes out with its terrible barbed whip. There, hydras and chimaerae patrol, and in some places the beautiful woman you stumble across may not be what she seems...

How are you supposed to make nice with creatures like these? That's up to you to figure out.

[ooc: A more detailed description of the Caves and Monsters can be found on the setting page. We will be tagging into threads with NPC monsters, if you have a specific monster you would like to encounter please leave a note in your thread.]

"Hello! I guess you're one of the ones that lives in this place?" She tilted her head right back and drifted a tiny bit closer, her movements slow and almost exaggeratedly unaggressive. "I haven't been here for as long as some other girls, I guess, so I don't really know everything that has happened in the past, but... From what I can gather, I guess the humans here have been cruel to you in the past? With the way humans are, it seems like a safe bet."

The creature flexed in its form, sprouting a sleek hairless tail which twitched in the open air like a wary sort of metronome. Tick-tock-tick-tock, a measure of patience.

With its bloody little face, however, it pouted a moue, shaking its head. Quite cruel, quite cruel.
