Muttering a quick incantation to
detect magic at the mention of being presented with the prized possessions of the lands controlled by the newly formed ‘Council of the Starfall’ Eltyr watches patiently as three before him are presented with a variety of items, taking as much time as he is able to gaze at each as they are bestowed upon each individual.
When the Lorken king finally reaches him, he accepts the fist sized crystal with both hands and says,
“I shall endeavour to make good use of it majesty,” before bowing his head, which has the added benefit of allowing him to look more closely at the crystal and conceal a brief grin at being given such a rare item. Taking what little time is available to him before the next item is presented, Eltyr gives the crystal a cursory once over, before figuring he has time to look at it more later, while he may only get to observe the other items as they are being given to the expedition members once. He does notice a few things becoming clearer to him the moment the crystal is in his hands though, which he intends to investigate when he has the more time and isn’t surrounded by hundreds of people.
Returning his gaze to the king, or more specifically the items themselves as they’re presented, Eltyr runs his fingers over the engraved surface of his crystal, as if trying to memorise every facet of the object while he watches. Rising once all items are presented, he listens intently to the grave situation around the site of the starfall and wonders what they’ll find when investigating the keep.
Bowing his head to the assembled kings as the ceremony concludes, Eltyr slips the crystal into a hidden pocket in his robe before moving to introduce himself to his new companions, hoping they’re not all as overwhelmed as their divine companion seems to be.
OOC: I’ve taken a liberty here assuming Eltyr can cast
detect magic while the presentation takes place, if he can’t I’ll change the post to reflect that, otherwise I’d like to know what he finds out with such an action.
Also, how large a fist are we talking about with the fist sized crystal Eltyr has?
And yet another word from our sponsors
