Message: <blockquote data-quote="CanadienneBacon" data-source="post: 3464141" data-attributes="member: 11146">When Maelicent creeps into the crystal cavern, the crystals refract the light from Voadam's torch further back in the tunnel.  A low thrum of vibration emanates from the crystals as the fire light dances and plays dimly in the cavern.  Maelicent spots a mottled brown and green moss lining the crystal wall in patches on the lefthand side.  Whenever the torch flares and the firelight dances closer, the crystals increase their vibration ever so slightly.  The feel in the cave becomes uneasy.  Crouching in the dark corner of the crystal cave's northwestern corner, Maelicent stops to look and listen.  Two passageways branch off to the east from the crystal rock formation, both of them of natural stone and a packed dirt floor rather than this cave's glittering crystal.  From somewhere else in this apparent network of caves, the sporadic drip of water into a pool echoes through the dank air.  Maelicent waits a beat longer then spies movement on the ceiling of the northern of the two passageways leading east.  The ceiling is littered with stalactites of grey stone.  Amidst these, three smaller stalactites move four feet toward Maelicent then stop.  When the stalactite creatures stop moving, they immediately blend in so well with their environ on the ceiling that it becomes very discern them from the rock on the ceiling.  Maelicent strains to see, then notes two eyestalks hanging down, leaning out into the dark, wriggling.</blockquote>
