[Action]

[If you're wandering around at night for whatever reason, you might feel a chill run down your spine as everything suddenly feels darker than usual around you.

Down the corridor in the distance is a strange... Shadow. No other word can really describe it. Is this just some sort of Halloween prank? Or is it something more sinister?]

((OOC: A few people have already plotted ahead how this will go, but feel free to have any of your wayward characters spot this thing. But keep in mind, directly confronting it will go very badly at this stage. Flight is recommended.))

[Unfortunately, the Shadow is quite attuned to spiritual beings... in fact, nothing is more alluring to it.

So as it senses something particularly... delicious... Mephistopheles will likely feel a sense that he is being watched. Stared at. Examined. Hungered for.]

[The invisibility goes off, and a corpse-pale man with wild black hair and leathery wings appeared]

What art thou?

[The Archdevil tensed - this was not something he is familiar with at all and the hunger is not one he's accustomed to have directed at him]

[The creature cannot answer... not with words.

But the aura around it seems to answer well enough. Is it a feeling of lust that fills the air? Or is that merely gluttony? Nonetheless, it should be entirely clear that this creature is hostile... especially as a shadowy tendril shoots out to grab the feast before it.]

Get Thee back what dark bastion that thou crawled from!

[The demon flies back as he sprayed hellfire towards the shadow. He realized that he cannot fight it, especially not without completely exposing his position - this burst of brimstone was already too much. Mephistopheles fled as the flames flickered in the hall, setting off the fire alarm]

[While the damage of the flames quickly healed... the loud sound filling the hallway was enough to cause the Shadow to vanish into the darkness.

It had no desire to be discovered.]
