ooc: well, a medium sized kobold with bulging muscles is quite similar to a lizardman, no crests, however.
As you get a better view into the room, you realize that the colored smoke is coming up from several braziers, where different materials are burning. As a thick veil it obscures most of chamber, but you can at times see a window in the mist and get a glimpse on the center of the room. There is a huge, brown colored altar, covered with red veins of ... something. Furthermore, on the top of it there is a karin kushol, who lies on his back, and seems dazed. On the edges of the altar, there are the five masters.
Seeing them, you heart pounds, but you instantly realize that they are not your kin. They have a similar body, however they have very small scales, almost molded into a skin. Their tails are much shorter, with a nasty looking end, and their wings are absolute black with red veins. The most repellent feature is their heads...they have flat, brutish and cruel faces (almost gargoyle-like, ooc note) and malevolent red eyes.
They are hissing in unison and it seems that they are somehow participating in the ritual, even they don't seem to do anything at all. You suddenly realize that they, or the altar, are the source of you unease, because as soon as you saw them, you got a jolt of panic and even now the sigh of the center of the room is nauseating, at best.
