Sef looks at Arafel and Valki for a minute with a piercing gaze, then relents.<br/><br/>"Very well. We shall seek to integrate as best as we can. Otherwise, we shall leave. May this be the start of prosperous relationship."<br/><br/>She departs, taking the three remaining skulks with her in tow. Its probably for the best too, as Ryssa was attempting to teach them craps. While they didn't know the game themselves, they certainly were familiar with the concept of gambling. Ryssa had managed to fleece them of a ball of grey flexible material that can be easily reshaped. The skulks said they found it in the ruins, but they haven't the slightest idea what it is, they just know its not food and not too strong. It can easily be pulled into piece, then mashed back together.<br/><br/>Valki can recognize the clear slips that Sef gave you as a very simple of type of technological key. Unlike a normal lock and key, Valki has heard that these cards have strange locks that you swipe them through to open doors in some of Numeria's ruins. These brown ones are the most common, but they don't open all doors.<br/><br/>Following Sef's map, the group descend deeper into the caves. Quickly they run into two of the Gremlins! Grimacing like maniacs, these lean little bat-eared horrors shriek and display a mouth full of needle-like teeth and glowing, orange eyes.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">map</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/5/56/Screen_Shot_2015-03-28_at_9.44.59_AM.png)</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OCC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Okay, so everyone gets 70 EXP from the gambling hall, 500 EXP for negotiating with the Skulks, and I'm going to give an extra 20 EXP for Ryssa and Rakah playing craps with the Skulks, assuming you two write something out in your next post. Seems fun  ;D<br/><br/>That brings our total up to 1462 EXP. So we are getting there. I think we'll hit next level very soon. <br/><br/>Yes, Ryssa did just win a ball of random putty from the skulks. When stretched out all the way, it can make a hollow sphere with a volume to two litres and a radius of about a quarter foot. It has other properties that remain unknown for now. This one's my own invention, so you won't be able to look it up, although it is based off of another already existing item.  &gt;:) <br/><br/>Treasure thread has been updated with EXP and items. <br/><br/><strong>ThisOneGal</strong>: I totally forgot about this, but you can automatically identify any technological item with a knowledge (engineering) DC of 15 or less, so Valki would automatically <br/><br/>Two PCs may act vs gremlings. </div></div>
