Lilliastre, you rush up to the chest, but it screams at you a deafening din, loud enough to stop you in your tracks, as well as to dash any hope Valeria had that you might be unnoticed.<br/><br/>Valeria, you manage to fight against the noise to end the strange monster's life. The scream is cut short, though it leaves your ears ringing and, strangely, the chest... turns back. Any indication that it was once living seeming to be... absorbed by the chest itself, leaving a battered, cracked, but ordinary chest resting on the floor. Its lid is open and inside, on a small soft cushion a beautiful, fist-sized amethyst.<br/><br/>Aenwyn, you can dimly ear a strange, scream-like noise coming from where you believe your companions to be.
