<strong>Location:</strong>The Ruins of Gilbert's House<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>All<br/><br/>Checking over first Gilbert, it didn't take too long to find his swag.  He wore a Tahitian-style shell necklace, had quite a bit in his wallet, and a set of keys, one of which unlocked the trapdoor.<br/><br/>The glowing-red rock had remained as well, still burning, and it didn't look like it would stop any time soon.<br/><br/>Most curious, however, was a baseball-sized gemstone that was warm to the touch and glowed with a light from within.  Fans of Tolkien couldn't help but be reminded of the Arkenstone.<br/><br/>Heading down into the trapdoor tunnel, it didn't take long to find Hitomi set up next to a shrine to Pele.  She was awake but insensate, almost certainly drugged, and didn't respond to anyone but could easily be taken out from the basement.<br/><br/>The owl fluttered over to JD, keeping an eye on her as Sarge's voice came through.  "I admit: I expected you to just blast them all and hog all the glory.  You do have good leadership techniques."  Her voice was calm.  "Hang onto your shotgun, but allow me this free advice: far too many warriors have killed the ones they loved, not due to their combat prowess, but the cruelties of fate and having a weapon that was too powerful for a mortal to withstand."<br/><br/>To Luke, Sarge offered through the owl, "Kimo has some.  Expect him shortly."
