Crystal wrinkles her nose. "Of course he won't. But, unfortunately, his fifteen minutes of fame are up. Let's bring him in."

Crystal studies the hag before trying to stab her.
Crystal tries to carefully move the slime without provoking its growth...
"...I don't suppose anyone has a water spell handy?"
Crystal stops mid-stride and investigates the porch further.
Crystal, not feeling up to attending a doomsday cult's sermon for the fifth time in her life, opts to try for a vantage point so she can look inside.
Crystal opts to stake the Guiding Light out.
Crystal snorts. "Pay no heed to these heathens. Let them wallow in their delusions of safety--people feel safest right before their world ends."
"Perhaps this doomsayer had something to do with the fire, if a holy symbol of Groetus was found here. But considering a scent... it'd likely be for the best if we followed that first. Who knows when the trail will go cold... besides, our doomsayer shouldn't be that hard to find regardless."
Crystal purses her lips. "...interesting. There was also that doomsayer that was mentioned before, yes?"
"I'm going to investigate the crime scene at King's Closet. If anyone else decides to interfere, keep them from doing so. Once that's done, I may need assistance in going over the crime scene for any bits of evidence I may have missed."
Crystal orders the fish and noodles and munches on them quietly while ruminating on which lead should be pursued first. Eventually, as Kyle and Issi bicker, she comes to a decision. "Doomsayers are a copper-a-dozen." She dabs her mouth with a napkin. "I'm more interested in King's Closet--if you'd like, you can interview him."
Crystal nods. "Right... but there's always a connection. There has to be--and I'll be the one to find it." With that, she sets out to do what any detective worth their salt does best--gather information and build a case.
Finally feeling back in her element, Crystal looks at Hestia with a grateful expression. "Where, specifically, in Admiral's Fen, did this crime wave start?"
Crystal shrugs. "Well... all's well that ends well, I suppose."
Crystal opts to remain silent when Issi takes the lead in the conversation. If this were a city environment, I'd actually be in my element...
"...yes, that's hollow." Crystal points to the menhir.
Crystal takes another precisely-aimed shot!
Crystal aims at the other centipede and fires!
Crystal curses as she aims her crossbow at the nearest centipede and fires!
Crystal nods. "You would be correct, Kyle." "And in accordance with proper treatment methods for abscesses, we shall make every effort to not bleed the afflicted wound unless absolutely necessary." She awkwardly clears her throat. "...I'm sorry, I thought it would help to continue the metaphor."
Perhaps feeling stung by the chieftain's skepticism on top of her own embarrassment for her mistakes, Crystal unlimbers her crossbow, loads it and fires it at a target of the chieftain's choosing.
The shot strikes dead centre! Finally... at least I can do this right.
Crystal keeps quiet in an effort to minimize the attention drawn to herself--and to her mistakes. How did I not plan for this?! I should've done my research before coming here!
Crystal shrugs and relates how the Pathfinder Society drove the wicked spirits of corrupted nature from the woods, throwing in a couple of exaggerations for dramatic effect.
Crystal looks over the records with Cenenviel.
Unfortunately, her unfamiliarity with such records almost immediately shows.
Crystal winces as she's picked up into a bone-crushing hug.
Crystal manages to avoid the worst of the burst before turning her attention on the remaining leshy.
Crystal studies the nearest plum leshy, noticing a slight limp in its left leg. I can exploit that. Then, she moves up with her sword at the ready and stabs at the creature!
"I was wondering why the children were so fascinated with the idea of dead squirrel monsters..." Crystal muses. "...what sort of weather should we expect en route?"
"I imagine your parents wouldn't be happy to hear about this." Crystal adds.
Crystal starts heading into the crowd to ask some pointed questions.
Crystal looks rather uncomfortable as the paladin presses her with more questions, but gives Sariana a thankful look when she admonishes him. "Thank you for the offer, but I'll be fine. I like the cold air on my... shoulders." ...you do? Back in Nidal, cold air is something to be avoided at all times.
Crystal goes silent for a while. "...it's not incorrect. It's not called 'the Land of Shadows' for nothing." She sighs. "A lot of nightmare-inducing things hide in those shadows."
Crystal looks straight ahead as she responds to the young man's question. "Been there? I was born there, I'm afraid." "Why do you ask? What sort of rumours have you heard?"
Crystal snorts, letting out a gust of misted air. "At least it's not Nidal."
Folks, I haven't made a post here in about a week, and I'm really sorry about that. Unfortunately, it's more or less because the game's moving faster than I can keep up with. It's really not fair of me to lag behind and keep you all waiting on me, so I think I'm going to drop out. Once again, I'm really sorry about keeping you all waiting.
Crystal gives the ratling a deadpan look. "Of course they could be." She looks over at Heinrich. "Think we're done here?"
Crystal had been quietly listening until now, but something about the ratling's answers starts to click in her head. "...sir, do you actually know anything about the fog? Or the doppelgangers? Or even what's outside the library?"
Crystal takes yet another shot!
Bewildered by the sudden influx of rats, Crystal aims a shot at the ratling leading them and fires!
Crystal grimaces. "Oh... joy." She bows her head and quickly mumbles a prayer to Pharasma for her favour.
Crystal seems to be rather unfazed by the strange... eye-thing that suddenly appeared on the wall. "...I wonder what it says about me that that's *not* the strangest thing I've seen this week?"
Crystal takes the wand of healing. "I'd be able to make good use of this, in case anyone else gets hurt."
Crystal nods at Brenton and playfully ruffles his hair. "I'll find him, don't you worry."
As Crystal walks into the archives where the records are kept, she catches Filbert's question. "That right there is the holy symbol of the Lady of Graves." She holds her holy symbol up. "I should know."
Crystal moves to provide a comforting ear to the two kids in the office. Evidently, the nurse and the kids are grateful enough to give her the full story. "Brenton... little one, do you remember what your brother looks like? I'll see if I can find him."
Crystal nods. "I'll admit, I haven't really had the sorts of nightmares some of the others have been experiencing here. Perhaps that's simply because of my faith in Pharasma..." She shrugs. "...but I digress. When did all of this start, anyway?"
Crystal keeps silent for a while as Winter speaks before speaking up. "I've some experience with cooking. I'd be happy to lend my expertise in that field." With that, she walks over to where the other survivors are preparing food and starts offering her help.
"See, you're using a little too much water preparing that broth. Let me take a look at those spices there... I think I can make something nice with this..."
Whoof... sorry for keeping you waiting. Just got done with Canadian Thanksgiving. :)

Crystal follows along behind the group, poking the doppelganger's corpse with her bow to show the guards it's really dead.
