Viperians

3. Viperians. Two snake-people (viperians) pray on reed mats before the door to Area 5. They beg Shanti to emerge; she has been inside for two months. Banging and howling comes from behind the west door.

• Viperians. Alessa and Tyros. Manipulative, loyal to Shanti.
• They are savvy and see PCs as an opportunity. They lie that an evil wizard (Gorgoroth, Area 11) has cursed them to look like snakes and has placed a sleep spell on their queen. They say the screaming man in Area 4 is one of the wizard's cronies.
• Noise. Nilo (see Area 4). He begs in Reptilian to be released.
