"Hey Digitalpotato or whoever the 'Dracula' is in this Demon Castle. You're lazy!" Selth shouted to nobody in particular.

So far, the drake hadn't seen anything but a lot of darkness. The brief flashes of light came from some kind of areas that looked like 'stores' inside this so-called Demon Castle. He felt something moving around that felt surprisingly serpentine, but elected not to try looking at it. Eventually, the drake stumbled into some kind of alcove.

The lights turned right on, as the dragon folded his arms. He immediately got a sense of déjà vu as he noticed exactly where the lights were. They weren't coming from any natural source; instead they seemed to be coming from some kind of alien looking things. Bioluminescent fungi and crystals attached to the "cave walls". Some of the fungi even grew along the stalactites hanging from the ceiling.

"Hey Digitalpotato - you can try a little harder than this for some kind of demon castle thing."

Finally. Selth heard movement. It was an anthro of some kind, probably some kind of fleshy barefooter judging by the noise it made along the stony floors. Selth continued to look on as he noticed just who this figure was.

It was most definitely a human figure, wearing nothing but a purple and black robe of some kind. He recognized the spiderweb pattern. Must have been one of those cultists from some kind of lovecraftian pattern. No wait, he remembered it exactly when he spotted the mantle behind the human's head.

"Oh perect I knew you would stop by this area. Only two others stop by the rare areas where Gabriel's section of the Underdark overlap with Demon Castle Digitalpotato." The human said.

"Hmm gee I wonder who they are." Selth said, "I bet you anything one of them is Tera and the other is probably Gabriel himself."

"Yeah, or his Thralls but they don't really matter at all. So, there is nothing I can do to you except lead you out of Demon Castle Digitalpotato into the Underdark where your master's coils await."

Selth smirked as the human walked around him. Out of hammerspace, he produced something he from around the entrance of Demon Castle Digitalpotato. One of the things he had grabbed from a 'clue table'... a pepper shaker. He immediately hurled the black pepper at the human's face.

"ACHOO!"

The human sneezed violently, as tentacles seemed to erupt from his face. Selth sergal grinned as the human rubbed over his bearded tentacles.

"Oh you know not everybody likes me like this. You know... my 'Gabrielfied' form." The tentacled human said, "Sorry about that."

Selth smirked as the human's hair fell off in patches, revealing rather slimy (yet smooth looking) purple skin underneath. His entire head was coated in this slimy purple skin. He watched the human's pupils shrink down to nothing, almost like an anime character under mind control. All that was left were pupil-less disks that were an unnatural green.

The discs seemed to shatter, as the strange gooey "liquid" seemed to cover his sclera, leaving the former human with featureless green eyes. Eyes that, if you looked into them, would leave you with a void in your memory. Selth smirked once more, as he watched the human's robe shift underneath. He couldn't exactly see what was happening, but he could picture it. His bare hands turned purple as small claws erupted from his fingertips. Finally, his feet changed as they were covered in that cephalopodic skin tone and claws grew from his toes, connected by a webbing.

"Alright Digitalflayer. That's more like it." Selth said.

"Digitalflayer, I like that." The illithid said.

Before Selth's eyes, everything seemed to dither a little bit. The dragon blinked as the mindflayer's movements became more and more jerky. Suddenly, he heard beeping in the background, as music popped up.

"Oh lord." Selth tried to say as he rolled his eyes.

Except when Selth spoke, his voice did not leave his mouth. Instead, a text box appeared with the words "Oh lord" inside, and with "Selth" inside the border.

"Hey! Give me my voice back! You didn't even bind my mouth!"

Once again no words escaped Selth's mouth. All he saw was that text box.

Selth: Okay very very funny Digital. Now do you want to let me out of here?

Digital: Sure thing.

Digital has joined your party.

Selth suddenly noticed an interface pop up. He mentally clicked on 'status' and noticed several interfaces, one of which detailing his own 'status' and Digital's own status. He simply willed it shut and tried to move on.

Just like in a video game, Selth found himself moving along the cave in a first-person view. The hallway never seemed to increase in width or decrease in height; it was almost a perfect square. After several steps, several pixelated enemies appeared in front of him and Digital-flayer.

Selth: Okay, Digital, this old-school RPG thing is very annoying. Can you remove this damn interface?

Suddenly, Selth seemed to go blind. No. He was in a black void. Only words were in front of him.

>Look around

You are inside the cave section. The hallway seems to extend as far as you can see. You are accompanied by the illithid, Digital. He seems to be pondering your next move, his facial tentacles quivering slightly. It could be in anticipation of what kinds of tasty thoughts are inside your head. Bioluminescent fungi light up the cave hallways, crystals occasionally capturing the light.

>Kick Digitalpotato

Now now! You do not have a violent tendency.

>Kick Digital

You are not violent.

>Kick Digitalpotato in the crotch.

Use one or two words only.

>FUCK YOU

Don't know how to FUCK something

"Playing with my friend again, Digital?" A familiar voice says.

You find yourself turning towards them, spotting another illithid marching towards you. But you can immediately identify that this is different than Digital is. This one has two longer tentacles, as well as a white-tipped tail. You know there is something else underneath that robe that Digital does not have (As he has no need for it). It's obviously Gabriel

>OH thank you Gabriel seriously get me out of here

Use one or two words only

>SOD OFF

Don't know how to SOD something

"I do believe my shaft beasts are hungry." Gabriel says. "And I need to have my black dragon with me soon. Let's go."

"There you go Master Gabriel. I brought him here for you. I still have him mentally trapped in the interface of a poorly programmed text game."

>Raep Digital

Don't know how to raep something

>Rape Digital

Now now, Digital can't be raped.

>Kill

Who do you want to try and kill?

>Kill Digitla

Who is Digitla?

The Ulitharid chuckles to himself and grabs onto your hands, then leads you off further and further into the cave. He opens up a small trap door and hops down, bringing you with him.

You are now Gabriel's property.

Try again?
