In the darkness of night, there’s a tiny flutter of blackness. It goes unnoticed for several minutes, before it happens again, and again. Gentle fluttering, darker blackness against the murky night. Tiny little legs of gloom, struggling to break free of each other.
Then, all at once, the legs move. They spread open with a great burst of movement, and beneath them sits an eye. The legs — now revealed to be eyelashes — rustle gently as the eye blinks once, twice, three times. Its iris is yellow, its pupil a bright white, bloodshot with black veins.
Slowly, as though waking from a nightmarish slumber, the creature begins to move. It stands and becomes fully visible. Craggy shoulders covered in broken arrows, patches of scabby scales, all a dull grey accented with a gloomy shade of purple. The creature is massive, standing roughly at the height of a hill giant. It holds in its right hand a golden flask filled with fine wine.
This is the demon Kezzolan, betrayer of Netheril, first of the nothics.
Kezzolan stands, breaking free of the gloomy darkness. He offers a friendly wave.
Mezzoni spies it and immediately bursts into rage. "BASEMENT!" He snarls, teeth bared.
Kezzolan frowns. “Basement? No, I’m quite certain I belong up here.”

Kezzolan stands, breaking free of the gloomy darkness. He offers a friendly wave.
A sooty Miner turns the corner and sees the monstrosity. He stares for a few seconds, fear flashing in his deep set eyes, and then he immediately looks away. His eyes are locked on the wall as he tries to ignore your existence.
Kezzolan is perplexed. He pauses, and tries to tap Miner on the shoulder.
He shudders when you touch him. Then he speaks in a small, distant voice, "Please don't crush my head."
Looking in the mirror of my mind Turning the pages of my life Walking the path so many paced a million times Drown out the voices in the air Leaving the ones that never cared Picking the pieces up and building to the sky
The Miner is stumbling through the hallways muttering nonsense to himself, "Made of muscle and mud... muscle and blood... mud and blood... mud and blood..." A pocket right over his heart glows a dim golden light.
Mezzoni watches, already on edge from everything. "Sir.." he says, his voice strained. "Are you alright?"
You meet the Miner's sunken gaze, "Is anyone alright down here? Are you?"
Mezzoni sighs, rubbing his temples. "I think it's time for you to go back to your room sir." He says, trying to force a smile
"I can't go back. I won't be able to find a way out of this cave if I do." He looks exhausted. He hasn't had any food in a few days and the lack of rest is taking its toll on him.
Mezzoni snaps a finger and a assistant appears. "Food, for him.and a bottle of water." He says.
He stares at the assistant, "The knockers serve you?"

Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.
May each word that I speak be backed by each of my teeth.

Hi! I'm violet, the ultimate silly snake!
*well perhaps I can help :D*
*oh golly, I didn't mean for the MTFs to traumatize her. My bad*
*Father may tear them apart/crush them. He's significantly stronger than Mezzoni, at least according to the lore me and Lawrence worked on together*
