Ander examines the crystal shard.
Maybe if we…AIM the Crystal at one of the spiders? See if they react to it?

It is fascinating, Oli - I can’t wait to see what you do with it! And I understood that the caverns were to be made secure somehow. Spiders might make good guards of this cave entrance. And goodness, maybe Ander, you could be right! Perhaps walking through this cave holding one of the crystals would keep the spiders from attacking? Thst would make it possible for folks to enter or exit as they please! But then again, perhaps the goblins could do the same… curious.

The amulet reacts only minutely. However when he tries to project his mind to the crystal his thoughts are split and redirected. The entire party feels Ishzu's contact but it is different and everyone feels an odd pulling sensation.

Everyone feels a weird sensation as if they momentarily overlap and replace Ishzu. In fact Ishzu feels an increasingly tight and strong connection between himself and oliver forming through the crystals between himself and Oliver. Oli-zu/Ish-ver feels their two bodies close to their center and is comforted, all is well. They are stronger together as they are one. The must stay close to the center or lose their new oneness. Memories and thought begin to blend but then a fraction of themselves rejects the oneness and shatters the link before they can override it.
Oliver slumps to the ground overwhelmed and faints. Ishzu has a raging headache form being psionicaly overextended. Luckily his people have mastered their thought and used a similar technique to help teach each other so he knew how to break the bond before it got too well established. Looking again at the crystals he quickly retreats from the crevice.

Woh! Grin holds his head then notices Oliver slumped over next to him. Oliver! Hey, Oliver! He shakes Oliver… Help! Ishzu, help!

Ishzu spends a few moments collecting his thoughts before climbing down to meet with the others.
He looks down at Oliver "Our otter friend will be fine. When I tried to connect with the crystals, our minds got melded together for a bit.
"The crystals need to be removed from this area. They have very strong psychic powers. Over time, they will mutate and empower the spiders in this area.

Ander exclaims with knightly excitement, Ah, yes! Removal of the crystals! It shall be a mighty fear indeed! Eh…how do we go about doing that, exactly?

Grinfletch rolls Oliver on to his back and places a blanket under his head. Don’t you worry, Oli, Ishzu says you’ll be alright. You just had your mind melted a bit… hmmm…
Grin, ignoring Ishzu and Ander for the time being, puts on the Black velvet mask stitched with silver thread and wraps his cloak around himself, willing it to a velvet black with silver ribs that run across its insides. If he holds it out to either side, they will look like bat wings. For now, he awaits Oliver’s wakening with the intention of scaring him for a practical joke when he does. He figures that Oli would most appreciate a good-natured laugh once he comes to.

You discuss how to remove the crystals while awaiting Oliver's recovery. His swoon lasts a couple minutes and he wakes with a migraine

CRAOOOAWWWW!
Grin spreads his cloak wide in an imitation of a ghoulish winged creature.

Oliver woke up resting on a soft blanket yet with a hard migraine, and with a silver crow-like skeleton cawing loudly, but who actually turned out to be a prankster Duende in disguise. He slowly became aware of these facts, one at a time, in that order.
"Oh. Ow. What ha... AHHHHH! HAHAHHAHAHA! You devilish duende you. You scared the fur out of me, with those omen-of-death looks."
He slowly sat upright, with a visible headache.
"Did you put the soft blanket as well? Like a true reaper of old tales: give with one hand and take with the other. Thank you."
"What just happened?"

"While you were examining the crystals below I was attempting to mentally connect with them above. Our minds momentarily connected. It was too much for your mind to handle." He grabs a few of the loose crystals and peers into it. "Connecting with these crystals revealed some locked away knowledge about my kind. That I was not aware of. I wish to learn more." He sets the crystal down. "I told the others that these crystals need to be destroyed but I recede from that idea. I wish to see if we can excavate the crystals as a whole. The crystal must stay in tact."

Aye, aye, rest a little and be merry, Oliver. Here’s your waterskin. Drink deep. Maybe I shook you to your senses, or maybe it’s the laughing, but you’ll be right, I think.
Grin pulls off the mask and sits down next to Oliver, listening to Ishzu’s requests.
Well, Master Ishzu, but how can we remove it? And where is it going? Isn’t there some way to block it up? And what about some lunch? I’m right famished, I am! And Oliver here - he needs a rest, don’t he?
