Professor Algernon Ross clutching a glowing yellow lantern ventures into the endless midnight of remote, subterranean tunnels. There he stumbles upon the tomb of the primeval demon Nrub'atocto, imprisoned in this nameless cavern for 917 years. Over the slow march of centuries, her malevolent essence has seeped into the encompassing stone, soil, and underground rivers. As Algernon raises his lantern, its wan light reveals the demon's hibernating form still and statue-like. He comprehends the evil that has been gradually diffusing out from this forgotten place deep under the earth. Part of the Nrub'atocto - She Who Feeds storyline.
