The firebolg looks impassively at the goblin, before feeling a pair of snakey-eyes on him and turns to look at her. He just returns her gaze, unsure why she's being such a weirdo.

"Interesting stories indeed, but were need to see if there something more actionable. Take us down to the oldest of the archives, and along the way, explain the functions of that crystal you're grasping."
The goblin looks at the group.
"Very well. I will take thou to the door. I can only open it once per day, so please be careful.
As for the crystal, as I understand it used to be used a long time as part of the complex defence system of the archives. Like many other things, the knowledge has been forgotten, and the crystal was used to keep the defence magic pacified, when new books were added to the archive. In the years I have been here, I have studied it, but I have only been unlocked mundane magics of this level as well as keeping myself safe."
"He can do what he wants. Well, more like what she wants. Who is she? She does seem mad. All the time. One day she might say why. Not for me to ask though."
He is read to move along to the lower level. He prepares to cast [spellarmor of agates[/spell] if he gets the heebie-jeebies.
Leesha averts her eyes from the twitching mass of scarred flesh the firbolg calls a nose.
Following the goblin down she says,
"Just because you're unable to figure out the complexities of the defenses doesn't mean it can't be done. Pass me the crystal, I will return it when we have retrieved what we need."
"As I said, I had to run from the lower levels. I do not know if my survival is thanks to the crystal, but the magic there is hostile without a doubt."
Leesha looks over to see what the burnt mutant wants to ask so politely.

Leesha wrinkles her nose in disgust.
Odd creature.
Gruntor, not being particularly smart but having some sense of people, will again lean over to Shun and attempt to whisper to him.
"Hey, I think fire-bolg making moves on your girlsfriends. She is angries"
The goblin looks at the group.

Watching her nose wiggle makes his subconsciously itch, so the firebolg wiggles his nose back at her before rubbing a large scarred finger across it.
"So the crystal would be useful to not get defense magick'ed in the lower levels where the old books are?"

Shun whispers back:

Isaac follows enthusiastically towards the lower levels.

The goblin responds for Firebolg
"As I said, I had to run from the lower levels. I do not know if my survival is thanks to the crystal, but the magic there is hostile without a doubt."
The goblin passes Leesha the crystal.
Roll CON save.
Con sav: 3
The crystal is both burning hot and freezing cold at the same time, sizzling your skin on touch.
You tolerate the pain and any immediate harm, but the crystal remains very painful to touch, and begins to glow a reddish hue.
"It supposed to do that?", the firbolg asks as it begins to glow.

Leesha winces at the sharp burning and curses,
"Goblin, what is it doing?"
She resists hurling it to the floor and, quickly but gently, places it down.
She tries to understand herself.
Arcana: 19
"I do not know! It did not do that before! Did you make it angry?"
The red glow dims once the crystal is left on the floor. It then seems to slowly roll towards the goblin.
Leesha, as far as you can tell, the magic in the crystal, while not outright hostile, is directed negatively towards you.
"It usually works the other way around.", the firebolg mutters towards the goblin with a bit of a grin.

"Make it angry? What kind of question is that? It's a piece of rock."
She watches it roll to the goblin suspiciously.
"Fine. I don't need it. Take us down."
"Maybe if Leesha ask the rock nicely.", the firbolg rumbles, keeping a straight face.

Leesha doesn't even spare the time to grace the firbolg with a withering glance, though he knows he deserves it.
The goblin takes you down to the door and asks:
"The door is there. Once you go, you will need to wait at least a day before you come back. Are you sure you want to go in without resting?"
