Starker, I trust in your reasoning. The one consideration that makes this different than the academy lab back in Waterdeep is that locked door over there
Hopefull, it’s more stone skulls and nothing sentient on the other side. Between our setting off alarms, talking about resting, and having lunch- anyone on there other side could have tried to get us for the last few hours. But still I would feel more comfortable with this plan after we know something isn’t coming out while you try this maneuver.
In the very least I will be ready with Darkbane standing guard at that door while the circus performs.
Starker:”That is an excellent point, Friend Trokarl. The safest way for me to acquire the gems is when The Company is on its way out and will protect me, as opposed to my leaving by myself after I acquire them. Very logical.
“Let us go through the as yet unexplored regions until The Company is satsfied. We can take possession of my jewels as we are leaving.”

Privately to Trolkarl, Kragen, and Chadwick: "I understand that you have known the good mage much longer than I have, but doesn't his behavior seem a bit....off? Coincidentally, since his gem fuelled escapade?"
Yartol listens to Starker’s plan. “Um, sure? As long as I don’t end up under the floor.”
<Starker and Yartol approach the door and Starker reaches to fully open the door.>

Yartol looks to Xymox, then to Starker and back to Xymox, “Seems no more greedy than most mages I have encountered.”
Xymox: "Fair enough. I'm all in favor of gathering up all of the gems as well, but let's focus on the dangers that lay before us. ...gems later."
