Moore: Still Going (Moore)

[Nephrite]

"It'll be tempting, but yeah, that's the rule we're following. They seem to appreciate it." Moore says.

[Anastasia]

"That will be no imposition," Stille says, "Now then, Your Majesty, may I lead you on."

From there it's a portal to Mineral and you appear in a familiar cavern. It's not Crystalle's Palace, but it's not far from it, either.

[Nephrite]

Huh, that's weird. Were the slaad responsible for them ending up at the gem river...?

"This way, you two." Moore says as he leads the way!

[Anastasia]

As you approach Crystalle's Palace, you find the way to it is studded with newly grown crystals. Quartz as big as Hanna if not bigger, glowing bright white to pale yellow. Resonating rings sound from them, a constant chorus of musical noise.

[Nephrite]

"Huh, those are new. I wonder what happened..." Moore wonders.

Take 10 for 49 on spellcraft on them

[Anastasia]

No magic, oddly enough.

[Nephrite]

"...I have no idea what these do, but somehow it isn't magical." Moore says as he scratches his head.

And K check to identify what they are?

[Anastasia]

K:D or K:L (Mineral).

[Nephrite]

Take 10 on K:L for 44

[Anastasia]

It is a strange thing called crystalline music. Energy from Mineral is manifesting through the crystals, a ringing sound the result. It's harmless enough and a natural expression of Mineral's power.

[Nephrite]

"Crystalline music." Moore explains. "It's a natural phenomenon in Mineral." He continues on past it!

[Anastasia]

"Ah, how quaint," Stille says, "What beautiful and strange music."

"I rather like it," Ilsenine murmurs, "There is something appealing about it, though I can't put my finger on what."

[Nephrite]

"It's unique -- I may try and learn what sounds they make and see if I can incorporate it into my own." Moore says with a nod.

[Anastasia]

As you approach, you hear the ringing growing louder. From the ground a mass of crystals in a vaguely human shape arises. It speaks in the rings, saying thus, "Welcome, visitor."

[Nephrite]

"Hello!" Moore greets with a bow. "Moore of Aurora, I am here to speak to Lord Crystalle or one of his adjutants. This is Queen Ilsenine of the Aurora Court and Stille, one of my comrades."
