{{IS_A=Plot}} {{Name=Theft of the Clockwork Crystal}} {{Summary=Embi currently has possession of the Clockwork Crystal, which several folks stole last week. They have no idea that they have the most important MacGuffin in the game.}} {{Description=About a week ago, [[Embi]], [[Othar]] and [[Theo]], mostly for grins, broke into the Hidden Castle -- all the reports of the dangerous deathtraps simply made it too tempting to pass up. [[Moloch]] didn't opt to come along: while he's getting used to his adventuring stuff, he doesn't really see the appeal of putting one's life in danger for no good reason. It wasn't exactly a stroll, but working together, each using their own particular skills, they succeeded in passing all of the traps (disabling some of them) and getting to the heart of the Castle. There, they found a variety of fascinating devices, none of them particularly obvious. They decided to choose a trophy, so they took the [[Clockwork Crystal]], which was sitting at the center of the lab, ticking quietly. Since then, Embi has had the crystal in safe keeping, not realizing what he has. All he knows is that it is a beautiful, large diamond-like crystal, containing the most intricate clockwork he has ever seen. Most of the time it just sits there, but he has noticed that the gears move when he hums. }}
