Kulimlim had many favored sayings and phrases, but there was one she held especially close to her heart: "Never underestimate the power of perception".  To many Kulimlim was nothing but a minor demon, an imp that wandered the underground and that was always an advantage.  Staying under the radar was one of the things she did best, which is why this summons had both surprised and intrigued her.<br/><br/>It took much of her will power to keep herself from visibly shuddering when she first stepped in to the room. Her Sigbin, a goat-dog creature shifted restlessly at her feet. Even the water, which was one of the purest elements on earth, was touched by the shadow.<br/>Now, as she stood at the heart of the dungeon, Kulimlim felt a presence like no other. It was both unsettling and exhilarating.<br/><br/>She looked like nothing more than a human woman, an easy target and delicious morsel.  Standing away from everyone in one corner of the room, listening to the avatar, she was dressed in nothing but dirty robes and sandals, and she carried only a large pack.  The familiar at her feet, however, was a twisted creature.  It walked backwards and its very form flickered in the shadows.  It's body, which was the size of a large dog, smelled of rancid bodily fluids. It's whip-like tail flickered excitedly, echoing what it's master felt.<br/>Kulimlim's expression was hard and intense, the expression of an experienced warrior, as she listened to all the man before her was saying.  Kulimlim had no intention of letting the crusaders in to the underbelly.<br/>"Well, count me in." Kulimlim said softly, knowing the dark presence could hear her.  She looked to her company and studied them.  They were quite the characters, she mused.  Some were controlled and composed, another was delirious and there was the haughty vampire.<br/><br/>As she shifted her weight to face the others, her sandals made no sound as they scraped against the rocks.<br/>"You would think that as a vampire you would care more for this pit of hell we call home.  It is the only corner of the world the sun does not reach, and it is where we are most powerful." Kulimlim said to Cecilia, her smile insincere.  Kulimlim waved her hand and the Sigbin at her side twitched before running in to the darkness to study their new home.<br/>"Now, please excuse me, I will be heading to the library." She said, her eyes glittering with excitement.  She was no mage, but perhaps there was a map of this tomb, or one with the complete layout of the whole underworld, which would come in handy even after this ordeal.  If not, she would settle for some alchemy for some new poisons, or quick tricks to add to her arsenal.  Who knew what the library of this dark power owned? Just thinking of the possibilities sent a sharp excitement throughout her body.
