As always, he beat the creature fair and square, so he has no qualms about claiming the diamond from its chest... and the candle is curious enough that he figures he might as well get Elfie to take a look at it.

He needs to make sure the coast is clear... if it is, he can break all the women out and get them on their merry way before Mr. Imp-and-sword shows back up.<br/><br/>Well, to be more honest, before he chase Mr. Imp-and-sword down... he has a score to settle with the fellow, and he's looking forward to fighting him on more equal footing.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button"> OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Perception check: <br/>1d20+11= 23</div></div>
