All That Glitters

[Anastasia]

The elemental stares at the two of you and ever so slowly says, "...Alright," In a dull voice, then slowly turns and begins to stomp off.

[Nephrite]

"I never knew elementals could be curious." Moore admits as he turns back to continue down the way they were going originally.

[Anastasia]

Once the elemental is gone, "I'm mildly surprised that worked," Cresiel confesses. "It just accepted what we said."

[Nephrite]

"I think speaking their language helps. Dropping Crystalle's name likely did as well." Moore says.

[Anastasia]

"That and it realized it was out numbered and out classed," Cresiel shakes his head, "Amazing. I did not expect that to work. You have a way with words, my friend."

[Nephrite]

Moore merely smiles at that as he continues along.

"Still, though... I'm surprised at something. I'm surprised that Shar was able to send an agent into this realm and that they could manage what they've done without the Lord of this plane even noticing." Moore says.

"I wonder if they somehow did something... Hm. I suppose it's possible they did something that could go undetected by the likes of earth and mineral elementals." He says with a tap on his chin. "It's like... in a pitch that only others can hear."

[Anastasia]

"A good question," Xandra murmurs, "One I will enjoy finding out very  much."

Ready to move along?

[Nephrite]

Yar.

[Anastasia]

Roll 1d100.

I'll probably pause you for the weekend after that roll, since I'm winding down and wanna give Yuth and Iddy a bit of extra focus, as they were both a bit scarcer on the ground this week. Also working on a nagging post relevant to you.

[Nephrite]

[21:37] <Nephrite> roll 1d100
[21:37] <Serith> Nephrite roll for Serith < 100 > [d100=100]

The suspense will kill me. Maybe literally.

[Anastasia]

It's not a good 100, I'll tell you that much. Be ready for Monday.

...Oh, okay. Fine. Make Listen checks.

[Nephrite]

Well boo and hiss to that!

Take 10 for 79

[Anastasia]

Do me a favor and roll for Xandra and Cresiel, too.

[Nephrite]

[21:50] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+45+4 Cresiel
[21:50] <Serith> Nephrite roll for Serith < 68 > [d20=19]
[21:51] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+59+4 Xandra
[21:51] <Serith> Nephrite roll for Serith < 73 > [d20=10]

[Anastasia]

You proceed to a chamber, where several passages go. It's darker here, gemstones glinting with unseen light, but all else is blanketed in darkness. As you begin to walk...

"...accept....and..." Words, from far away and down a side path, just caught by your hearing. The echo of an echo, perhaps.
