It shudders and trembles for a moment, but seemingly holds itself together. A moment later, the crystal begins to flake apart as if hatching, and another maid emerges from the shell.<br/><br/>This one is short and well proportioned, all smooth curves and shy demeanor. A hooded cloak covers her body, and a simple wooden staff is clutched in her hand. Despite being fresh, she leans heavily against her staff, supporting her weight like a crutch moments after she formed.<br/><br/>The Queen, still on her throne, seems to pull herself together slowly, regaining a portion of the vitality she's lost. It's a slow process, and she still looks to be on the edge of existence.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Stuff</div><div class="spoiler_body"> At 2014-12-20 11:14:50, SmilingFox (uid: 54175) rolls: 1d20a1 Result: 7 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=69080) Initiative for the Staff maid.
