Last Stand of the Dorinthians (Chapter 4- The Second Invasion)

[Deuce Traveler]

Barok wisely clears away some of the sharper and longer shards with a sweep of his foot before continuing to explore parts of the room. Although he finds no traps, he does find and take a small emerald (worth about 200gp) lying in the filth inside the dried up fountain. Nothing else of value is noticeable within easy reach and the rogue decides against digging his hands through the slimy and foul-smelling rubbish of the fountain.

Nikolos remains silent, simply following along, his eyes occasionally going back to where the Locusi had last been seen. Mostly, however, he is interested in any intact crystals he can find, and any writing or other information he can get from the chamber they are passing through.

Caramip Ashhearth

With her enhanced vision, the small Gnome follows Nik around the room and searches for any magical auras within the room. “It is easy to see that they were not very house broken during their stay.” Comments Caramip as she eyes the clogged fountain with a disgusted sneer.

 

[Deuce Traveler]

Nikolos takes a look around, but doesn't see any intact crystals within easy reach, although there seems to be some others on one of the higher and more difficult to reach niches. Some look damaged, as if someone threw stones or flung other objects in order to use them as either target practice or maybe just to be destructive.

You detect that some of the glints of crystal higher up are undamaged and still possess magic in them, while the damaged ones seem to no longer hold an aura of arcane power. You aren't close enough to any of the crystals to get a stronger indication of their purpose.

"I suppose it's one more crime we can lay at their doorstep."A faint smile crosses his features, then he says, "I don't suppose you can use your mage hand trick to fetch down a few of those intact crystals, eh?"

Caramip Ashhearth

“It’s definitely worth a shot.” Says Caramip in a cheerful tone. The chance to actually be useful to the group in their current setting brings a long overdue smile to her face.

OOC: Casts Ghost Hand and attempt to remove as many of the magical crystals as carefully possible and bring them down to the group. She will use no more than three castings of the spell if necessary.

 

[Deuce Traveler]

OOC: Caramip can only get one item with each use of mage hand. Would she like to grab three random crystals?

 

[Bloodweaver1]

OOC: Just two for now, as long as they bpth radiate some kind of magical aura.

 

[Deuce Traveler]

Caramip uses two spells to pull two different crystals to herself. As they get closer she can see with her fading detect magic spell that there seems to be some kind of unknown sylvan writing that almost floats above the facets of the oval, green, fist-sized facets.

 

[Fenris]

"Are these more memory crystals?" asks Dartis. Dartis leaves the magic to the experts and heads over to the fountain and begins using his sword to clear as much of the debris from it as possible. Lets at least restore some of the grandeur here, as I would hope someone would do to Dorinthia he thinks with a sigh.
