Crystal eyes the growing 'Rabble' of Goblins.
"Though it will cost us, yes we will allow the Goblins their freedom." She arches an eyebrow at No1.
"We have yet to settle upon a price." She stares thoughtfully at No1.

Keeping an eye out specifically for the object of their discussion Crystal replies, "Well, as long as I can keep No1 in line with my 'Mistress of the Dark' routine I don't think we should have too much of a problem." She smiles, winks and then 'Puts on her airs' again as said object of power.
And spoils it horribly with a giggle at her own display.
Crystal raises a hand to stop the Goblin before it runs off, "Actually, No1, explain to us what else besides 'Other' Goblins are in this other room..." She says, arching an eyebrow.
Crystal nods solemnly to Aeldri's words, "Indeed, the spells and magic you mention are hard and trying." She looks from the Goblin's to the expanse now seemingly yawning before them. She looks sternly at No1. "You understand the effort we are going through for you?" She asks seriously.
Crystal, at least, leans back -arches an eyebrow -folds her arms - and taps her chin thoughtfully, "You ask some powerful magic there, No1..." She replies.
Crystal nods, "Indeed, you returning to your caves seems the soundest thing." Crystal acknowledges to the Goblins and turns to the rest of the group. "What shall we give to them so that they don't cause too much trouble...um..I mean get into too much trouble on their way?" She asks, still speaking quietly.
Crystal frowns at No1 for interrupting the groups quiet discussion. "Describe where it is you shall be going." She says, though she looks to her companions as well, Elvish:
"We should see what we can perhaps also spare these critters so that their journey doesn't predate upon the lands they travel through too much." She looks to her companions to see who can understand the speech of the fair folk.
As the Goblins sort and such themselves out Crystal moves back towards the others, the better to talk to them with out No1 Goblin hearing and understanding what is being discussed.
When Bronn leaves in a muttering huff Crystal stares after the Dwarf, a look of confusion warring with puzzlement on her features. In general: Um...sorry to see you head off Bronn, but not even a ooc discussion to sort things out?
Crystal frowns, "That will never do..." She mutters. "From now on, you are Number One." She decrees. She claps her hands and steps towards them, "Right! Line up! Lets see the lot of you!" She barks at them.
"Let's see what we have to work with! No 1? You stand here!" She indicates the space beside her, "Help explain the rest to us." And Crystal indicates for every one else in the group to move in and help 'inspect' these new assets. (^_~)
Crystal grin to Aedris, Elvish: and she laughs at her comment and a conspiratorial wink to the rest of her companions.
"Well, that which doesn't try and kill us makes us a large group." "No, no digging today." She intones commandingly to this leading Goblin.
"There has been a change in plans and help is needed in carrying things..and such..." She tells him. "You there." Pointing imperiously to the speaking Goblin, "What are you called?"
Crystal steps into the room, "Does any one speak Goblin?" She whispers quietly. Even as she strikes such a pose as to appear as if she is meant to be here and that nothing at all is wrong.
Sorry to lose you but also glad to have you back DM- The Infinite Watery Grave. (^_~) "We's gon'a have th' best-est fun!" (^_^) *cough* Annd that's as much 'Sunny' as I think DM Azoun can bear. ;)
Shaking off the last of her fugue, Crystal walks after the rest of the group. Her rapier out and held lightly.
Crystal nods at Avala's tug upon her sleeve and follows her companions further into the complex. "Where is the door out?" She whispers.
Crystal continues to watch, seeming fascinated by the rhythmic pulsing of the glowing stones.
Crystal continues to stare at the softly glowing pillars...
DM Azoun:
Crystal peers at the illuminated pillars and tries to discern what is written there.
Listening with half an ear to Bronn, Crystal walks slowly towards the 'glow' "Um...can any one else see this?" She asks slightly distractedly.
Since the tapestries seem to represent the outside of the mountain, Crystal moves about the extremities of the room checking for other details of the other depictions on the other walls.
*Salutes* Best of wishes and may you both have the best of times. I shall be here awaiting developments. (^_^)
At Avala's question Crystal stops moving through the room and skips over to inspect the image. "Well, it depicts the mountain." She says quietly, then peers closer " I wonder if the maker hid anything within the weave..." She whispers.
Crystal continues on into the room, again trying to remain quiet and circumspect.
Looking about at the walls, floor and ceiling of the vast chamber.
Crystal tries to slip quietly into the room ahead of the light source.
As she looks around...
Crystal frowns and bites her lip, but she did not see any obvious evil. "I could not see all of the room..." She gives a whispered warning, even as she draws her rapier.
Crystal will whisper back to her companions a description of what she sees.
Again, sorry to hear of our troubles. Wishing the best for you and yours.
Crystal nods in agreement with Udaya, then holds a finger to her lips and sneaks forwards to try and peek around the edge of said curtain.
*Bows* It was an honor and a pleasure playing with you. I, for one, hope your Real Life things are doing okay and I hope to see you again. =) Much cheers to you and yours.
Crystal frowns, the intricacies of architecture still lost upon her. "So...they're fine, quality doors then?" She asks in a whisper. "But what do the shoe prints mean?"
Crystal coughs, her outburst unnecessary, and looks a little queezy at the thought of deceased Orc. Though she perfectly understands the rational and necessity of the situation. With a smile, she move to begin moving the mounts into their new stables. (^_^)
DM Azoun: After thinking a short while. Crystal shall call out in Infernal "Halt!". Using all her bluff and other social skills to make the creatures a little more confused against the parties actions.
Crystal looks at Udaya and blinks, not quite catching the other woman's 'gist'...
Crystal wanders in and putters around,
Though the scenic vista out through the tall, narrow windows also interests her.
Crystal smiles proudly and waits for every one to ready themselves. Once the group is prepared she opens 'her' door. =)
DM Azoun: [ooc][smaller]Sorry, not wanting to derail or side track the game, but are people using 'Short bows'? Or 'Small bows'? (^_~) As for 'Longer flight time'. This is again on the arrow side of things. A bodkin will punch holes through anything if the right poundage is behind it. This is a product of the 'mechanical' side of a bows arms. Short bows (Also know as 'Re-curve Bows') developed usually for horses, could and did develop pretty much the same amount of power as 'Long Bows'. however I am only talking of scant surface research and hobby bow shooting. My anecdotal evidence is not hard evidence. *Bows*
Crystal moves into the found space behind the secret door and gives it a 'Once over' of a glance.
Then she puts 'Two and two together' and skips off down the corridor, past the entry way, and looks for a second panel like the first. (^_^)
Crystal gives Bronn a pleasant smile in thanks and acknowledgment of his skills at finding the secret panel. Even as she moves out of any one's way so that they can better look at what Bronn has pointed out. .
Crystal will happily walk along where ever other people's wants put her. (^_^)
Crystal takes one glance at the passed Orc as it passes by with Avala and,
Finds some where to politely be slightly sick. After a while and calming her emotions and physical self (As well as the use of 'Prestidigitation' to clean things up a tad) Crystal replies to Avala's question by conjuring some small globes of 'Dancing Lights'. "Will this do?" She asks quietly, still not completely recovered from her...ordeal...
Crystal looks uncomfortable with the decision, but does acknowledge the others more 'Worldly wise' skills in such matters. As Bronn moves towards the Orc, Crystal moves over to stand with Avala and Udaya, her back turned to the room, the Orc and...the pending event.
Crystal nods and moves away from the Orc. When it can no longer see her expression, she frowns. "Hmm...now that is not a good thing to hear." She whispers. "T'would seem our ugly friend and its ilk are up to something...and that something is happening quiet well at the moment..." She looks to her companions. "I fear gathering more information if going to take a tad more than me bluffing my way through. Any suggestions?" She asks.
