Suddenly, Val and Wilbur’s view of Nia is cut off by a gaunt humanoid silhouette. The figure steps behind her as she crosses the threshold into the kitchen. A long, flash of silver splits the doorway as the figure draws a wicked looking rapier from an unseen sheath.

Keygan suddenly hurtles bodily across the storage room into some barrels at the back wall. Crates of ingots tumble over him, burying him amongst bars of raw metal.
Two pale eyes reveal themselves like the harvest moon, first appearing as white crescents and then revealing full milky white eyes. They seem to hover behind where Keygan once stood. A large Cheshire grin, full of white teeth reveals itself next. Only then, when the creature moves, do you see it against the background of the storage room. The creature draws a dirty rapier and assumes a combat stance.
Meddlers... Dark spittle flies from his mouth and stains the floor. Saves us from having to kill you in your sleep later I suppose.
