Leading the small group down the street you come to a rather large stone temple, near the front entrance awaits an elven woman with long black hair and green eyes, she smiles, her flowing black gown trailing on the stone steps as she goes down to meet you. "Greetings, I am Krystal, priestess of Night, welcom to our temple. I see you have found Gwinwayvre, well done. Am I to assume you are the ones here to help retrieve the magical artifact stolen from the temple?"

Stopping his juggling and replacing the gems in his pouch, Thulian bows to the priestess.
I am Thulian, master juggler, and tumbler. If retrieving a stolen artifact is the adventure to be found here, then that is indeed what I am here for.

Krystal nods and smiles, "Then by all means, come in. I shall have food served to you and explain the artifact you are to retrieve and the reward. We don't have much, to offer, but do make yourselves comfertable." She said, walking through the archway leading inside the temple, the panther at her side.

Suddenly, a young woman walked into the hallway and started walking alongside Krystal on the opposite side as Gwinwayvre. She appeared to be relatively excited for some reason and a little off. Sporting a long sword at her side, she appeared to have never gone anywhere without it, even in the temple. She was rambling on to Krystal about something inaudiable when suddenly she stopped and turned around, glaring at the two following.
"Who are these jokers, Krystal? Are THESE the people who will aid the return of the artifact?? Pretty sad looking group to me... hardly even a group!" the girl complained, demanding an answer. She paused. "Then again, maybe they'll be better than our last party..." she laughed light heartedly, "Dutt was such a character!"

Krystal chuckled, "Ah, back in the olden days, brings back so many memories." She grinned, "Well, I don't know if these adventurers can take care of themselves to well, but we must have the artifact retrieved before someone decides to use it Arianna, you know that as well as I, should someone use it..." She shuddered.

"Gosh do I ever know...." she shuddered. Then, as if just realizing they were there, the girl smiled brightly at the two strangers. "Hello, I'm Aerianna, nice to meet the both of you. I've been around this temple for a long time.... helped Krystal here establish the blasted thing," she grinned. "I've put almost my whole life into helping her out so just to warn you, don't try anything funny," she warned, her bright blue eyes growing rather serious, but then glinting with a grin again.

As if I would ever do anything against a temple? I am wounded by your words dear lady. I feel that if that is your attitude, I shall take my leave now and you can go retrieve your own artifact.

"Oh no, Please don't leave dear stranger! My deepest apologies. I tend to get a little carried away.... and the whole temple has been so worked up over the missing artifact that it sort of has set everyone to a not so friendly disposition if you know what i mean," Aerianna apologized quite sincerely.

Denise stands with her arms folded as the new comer insults her and Thulian. Well, like I may not be the brightest star in the heavens, but I, like, want to know if you and the Priestess are so powerful, why don't YOU go retrieve it yourselves?
Denise turns to leave, but stops upon hearing the apology. She turns and studies the newcomer, trying to determine if she is sincere with her apology or not.

Valandil ventured into the large temple, He looked to the group of people and shook his head. "i'm sorry I must be in the wrong place, I was seeking a group of adventures, i'm sorry for intruding." He said in his thin raspy voice as he turned to leave. A raven fluttered down and landed on his shoulder pecking him lightly in the head. " Where are you leading me this can not be the ones?" He muttered to the bird and sighed, "Ok, ok, I'll stay." he turned around again, "Looks like my feathered friend wants me to stay if you'll have me."

Krystal smiled, "Oh please, do not take offense. I will be acompanying you on your journey, but I fear the ones who have taken the artifact are amongst others of their sort, if Aerianna and I were to go on our own, I doubt we could make it. She means no insult to you fine gentlemen and my dearest lady, but you must understand, the artifact that has been stolen could do great damage if the theives knew of its power and we here at the temple are trying our best to figure out its whereabouts. Please say you'll help us, I can offer a reward in gold, my purse is rather heavy, please stay." She said, her black gown rippling as she walked over to a table and sat down. "Please, if You'll take your seats, I will explain the artifact and the people who were seen stealing it." She said, the panther sitting at her side, for the panther would be left in charge of the temple upon the pristesses leave.
"Beautiful raven by the way." She spoke to the new commer with a smile, as the astral panther snorted and she tucked strands of raven black hair behind her pointed ears. "Thank you for comming, you know not how much it means to us." She said, bowing her head at Valandil and the others.

Well....I did come to this fine town for an adventure. I take it you are thinking there is a band of these thieves? Or perhaps an entire guild?
Pulling out his daggers, Thulian begins juggling them instead of his gems.
Please continue Krystal. I'd like to hear what you have to say. And apology accepted.

Aerianna could feel her cheeks flush as she sat down at the table along with Krystal. She felt so bad for making everyone else feel bad, but hey, they just needed to deal with it, toughen up their skins... especially if they were going to deal with the robbers.

"Well, I think it is safe to assume that there is a guild somewhere, the day the artifact was stolen, four men in robes were seen leaving the temple, they just vanished! The artifact, a raven statue, carries inside it a magical orb that was put there to keep from being found and sealed within the temple walls for safe keeping. How they got in I don't know." Krystal explained with a sigh, "The orb itself is a very powerful artifact and should not be put to use. We assume that the people who stole it are somewhere in the mountains of Kenninstone, it is rumoured that a lot of theiving activity goes on in the small towns in that region."
