"Greetings, traveler. I've seen you skirting the edges of the darkness, haven't I? You're either very brave or very foolish. Either way, I can use someone like you. Want to see something truly... different?"
Their lips curl into a smirk, revealing a set of sharp, canine teeth, as they offer you a worn, leather-bound map.
