OOC: The circular tunnel into the rest of the dungeon goes downwards at an angle, btw.
What Conn sees when he looks at the crystal.
[sblock]
Inside you see several images that repeat themselves: winged elves standing in the room you are standing in, but the room looks freshly built and more vivid. Men come, wearing strange armor that is segmented like an insect's. The men fight the winged elves, their weapons and magic piercing the defenses of the elven people. The elves do not fight to injure or kill but merely to protect themselves, and eventually fall. The men gather treasure from the area, pleased with themselves. But then the men's glee turns to rage as they realize that a force prevents them to leave the room and out to the freedom of the outdoors. Cursed, they would seem. The final image you see before it all begins to repeat once more is that of a dying winged elf who reaches out and touches the crystal, transferring what he sees into its surface before his final moments.

As soon as Conn picks up the crystal, the images that he saw inside change. Suddenly you are looking at interpretations of Conn's own memories. His escape from the barbaric regions of former Dorinthia while chased by Tallione forces, his battles in the central square of New Dorinth against the orcs, Conn watching as Baron Dorin died, and his trek through the terrible storms of the frozen orc territories while seeking for revenge.
