All That Glitters

[Nephrite]

Moore casts a spell on himself in preparation, just in case!

Righteous Halo. If he has time he'll throw out a Recitation, too.

[Anastasia]

Do those have verbal components?

[Nephrite]

They both do, yes.

[Anastasia]

You cast the spells, weaving them around you. Behind you it is seen - a large mineral elemental, lumbering along towards the three of you. It is making no effort to be hidden.

[Nephrite]

I feel like that warrants less of a clip-clop and more of a STOMP STOMP!!

Moore gives the elemental a wave... and a detect evil, just in case!

[Anastasia]

No evil.

The elemental comes closer and stares at the three of you, long and carefully, about 50ft away.

[Nephrite]

"Why have you come?" Moore asks.

He knows the reason, of course -- Crystalle sent it. At the same time, if that's the case then it's easy enough to verify.

[Anastasia]

"...curiosity," The elemental finally rumbles in Terran.

[Nephrite]

Moore smiles. He switches to Terran for himself.

"It isn't safe here." Moore warns it. "There is evil here we're here to fight."

Do I have any way of telling about how 'strong' this elemental is? K:P?

[Anastasia]

Sure, K:P. Go for it.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 78

[Anastasia]

It's a standard elemental, nothing odd about it. Odds are it isn't strong at all.

[Nephrite]

"If you want to be useful to Lord Crystalle, find a way to tell him where we are. If you tell him Moore sent you, he'll understand." Moore says in Terran. "All right?"

[Anastasia]

"Yes," Cresiel says, voice rich, stirring. "Leave her, please. You have a duty to your Lord Crystalle, go fulfill it." He stands behind you and to the side, while Xandra is right behind you.

"Go now," Xandra says, "I see that only ruin awaits if you come here."

Diplo check, +4 from them aiding you.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 88, then.
