"Yes the sooner we leave these spider infested caverns the better."
Seftan looks around before he leaves and as he passes through the other rooms for anything else that seems of value or of magical significance.

Seftan watches out for anything valuable, but it seems that Gromph has either taken all of his goods or perhaps has them well-hidden. As he's almost given up on finding anything, however, he spots a large diamond glittering on a pedestal in the corner. At a glance, it's likely worth several thousand gold pieces.

The diamond in sight, you are caught off guard by a short figure standing in the doorway until he speaks, "Long time, no see!" he says, "Bet you 20 gold that he takes the diamond," he says, smiling and nodding toward Seftan.
It takes a moment, but you are able to make out the creature as a svirfneblin, a deep gnome.

Ælfric grabbed his cloak, ready to use it to either fire stars of force at the little man or disappear to another dimension!

Elayna stares, in equal parts shock and disbelief, at the sudden appearance of the deep gnome. "Um, you do seem familiar, but have we met?"
Feb 17, 2021 3:57 pm
Feigning nonchalance, Seftan handwaves away the notion.
"Tis knowledge I crave, not coin."
Turning away from the stone Seftan casually approaches the gnome.
"We haven't met. Diolus of Water deep, at your service."

The deep gnome smiles at Elayna, "Afraid I wasn't talking to you, young one. I was talking to her," he says, pointing to the container that holds Hunter's ashes.
Turning to Seftan, he chuckles, "Guess I'm out 20 pieces of gold, eh? Good to meet you, Sef... Diolus,"

"Ok you clearly know who I am, to whom do I have the pleasure of speaking?"
Seftan racks his brain but can't quite place the dusky little man. He glances to Ælfric for a hint...

"You knew her?" Elayna asks. "Then you know what she wanted to do. Can you help us?"
Feb 17, 2021 8:54 pm
Ælfric shrugged his shoulders.
"You speak to the dead, Diolus. Do the dead speak back? And how in the Nine Hells did you get in here?"

"Only when compelled. And the jig is up, he knows my real name."
Seftan had long been weary of giving his real name to deep dwellers, the powers they traded in could often make dark work of such information.

"The dead speak to those who know how to listen," he says cryptically and ignoring Aelfric's other inquiry, smiling as he takes a step toward Elayna and holds a hand out toward Hunter's container, "Would you mind?"
Feb 18, 2021 1:34 am
"Well... I guess not," says Elayna with some hesitation, but she holds out the urn.
Feb 19, 2021 1:20 am
The gnome takes the urn carefully and steps past you to the diamond on the pedestal. Taking it, he holds the urn in one hand and the diamond in the other. With a wistful smile, he suddenly smashes both of them together. There's a flash of blinding light and a cloud of dust fills the room.
After the dust clears, the gnome stands beside a familiar figure: Hunter Galfyne, looking no worse for her disintegration.

Ælfric looked at Seftan for an instant before he addressed the newcomer.
"Hello, madam. Uh... Welcome back?"

The robed half-elf stares at her hands, before settling her gaze upon the svirfneblin. "Jimjar," she states as though she shouldn't be surprised to find the deep gnome there. "What are you doing here?"
Hunter looks around at the unfamiliar room, settling her gaze at the company present. "You've all taken care of the beholder, then?"

"Hunter!" gasps Elayna. "Is it really you?!" She throws herself onto the half-elf in a tight hug.
Feb 19, 2021 6:28 am
Seftan takes his cue from Ælfric and bows to the newcomer.
"Seftan the Mage, at your service."
