Unfortunately, all the guys who'd like to flirt with her are "inexperienced younglings" in her eyes and she muses whether this Risur has some suitable companions for her at all. Margit explains that all the guys were handsome young gentlemen and that maybe Auryn is just very picky (<span style="color: #008000">oh yes, she is!</span>). Auryn says that she honestly believes that Eladrin and "the other mortals" might just have slightly different interests which leads to Carlyle asking her about her preferences. He adds that she's more than just beautiful and usually not really conservatively dressed, so he guesses that she's somehow seeking attention. Auryn objects and says that she's simply dressing the way she likes (which is pretty elven/elfaivaran) and that she's simply used to getting attention, not actively seeking it.

Auryn tries to shrug it off and says that there's nothing wrong with an unmarried woman sleeping with someone because she's stressed and wants to clear her mind.

[QUOTE="Lylandra, post: 7269139, member: 6816692"] We fear that the whole temple of Apet might sink into the abyss, so we make heel to reach the exit of the Ziggurat as quickly as possible. On our way out we find that the mummies who were previously trapped behind the walls are now roaming free in the hallways. As the Tiefling bodies we've left behind seem to come to life as well, we fight through the mummies in front of us and run for our lives while trying to get away from the water/poison liquid as fast as possible. After all, no one wants to be impaled or eaten by a rabid undead. At the entrance chamber, we are stopped by the three animated orc warriors we saw in our vision. They call us thieves and defilers of their temple (hey, we didn't dig that tunnel or steal your artifacts and we completed your rainbow trial!) and start to attack us immediately. They seem to be stronger and better equipped than the wall-trap-mummies and one of them even seems to be capable of using magic. This orc throws a fireball at us which is hard to dodge because of our limited space in the corridor. Auryn starts a fire protection dance (she's of the Flamedancer Bard archetype) which is then complemented by a similar spell from Margit. The two melee mummy fighters team up on Auryn who does her best to defend herself. Fortunately, the attacks on Auryn leave Mr. Carlyle enough room to bring himself into a good position behind the undead's backs and we manage to strike the mummies down one by one.
