Skeksis's Den

As you wander through the jungle, you nearly tumble down a slope of rock that leads into a crevice hidden within the trees. You can see lions milling through the rocks and notice a large male making his way towards you, his bulk creating a shadow that covers the light around you.

"You are brave to enter here. Encroaching on my territory can be a dangerous game." Circling you, the king huffs and leads you down into the crevice he calls his den. The deeper you get, the more you notice separated dens that are full of softer moss and pelts, lions lounging in the sun along the hidden patches of grass.

"You seem strong. Maybe you could fit in with my clan. I care for rogues and vicious ones, bringing them in to serve me as we take over the lands we see. Explore, if you like it here then maybe, just maybe, you can stay." With that he wanders off, heading for a dip of a cave where you can see a lioness staring in your direction.
