Message: <blockquote data-quote="CanadienneBacon" data-source="post: 6836236" data-attributes="member: 11146">Raza changed form into a twelve inch spider with a hoary carapace and eight black spindly legs.  She clacked her mandibles, reared up once on hind legs, then hared off for the crevice in the stalagmite, hoping to discover what she could of the rocktopus's lair.  She wasn't disappointed.  Easily fitting inside the crevice, Raza realized the interior of the stalagmite consisted of a natural hollow.  At the bottom lay a heap of half-digested garments and trinkets.  It didn't smell good in here.  She found a bony talon hanging from a cord of leather, a mechanical blackbird inside a wire cage, an intact glass jar labeled "Griffon Grease" containing a thick white paste, a tiny gnome-crafted music box with a hinged lid, and a perfectly intact goose egg shell decorated with bits of velvet and ribbon trim depicting scenes of misery in disturbing detail.  There also appeared to be a spintered small wooden box, and four scattered brass items.  In her tiny state, Raza was unable to manipulate any of the items, but her compound eyes took in details not easily seen otherwise; the round flat disk with the spindle arm sticking off to one side had queer markings, the like of which she'd never seen.  [sblock=Brass Items]<img src="http://i.imgur.com/j2iLl5a.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /><img src="http://i.imgur.com/yHpmlEO.jpg?1" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /><img src="http://i.imgur.com/nEESV6X.jpg?1" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /><img src="http://i.imgur.com/SepFhtF.png?1" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />[/sblock]A round lump under the pile of rags caught her eye.  She scurried between rag layers and discovered a smooth orb of thick glass filled with what appeared to be smoke.  The orb was heavy enough that she was unable to move it.[gm]1.6.6[/gm]</blockquote>
