"Well probably as many as we can," Taylor answered. "How many are there? I thought there was one. This could be even better than I thought." He smiled and checked his 'watch'. It beeped. "Alright, we need to adjust course twenty three degrees to the right..." He began adjusting his direction as he stared at the 'watch'. "Awesome! We're there in a few minutes. What are you guy's expecting it to look like?"

"Well, I think there would be a couple of 'spires' of the stuff sticking out of the ground. And Claire, the friend who told me about this place, said that it's shiny as hell. She also said that the spires are tall, taller than she was. She really didn't describe them so I'm gonna assume they look like most crystals do. Don't see a reason why they would look any different. But I think they'd be a shiny fuscia color."Jenny said, before they arrived. The trio was stopped infront of a ditch, down inside it were several large spiked clusters of the Crystal, shining as Jenny had said. Unfortunately the Crystals were jagged, ending in sharp points. They were bright, giving off a feint blue glow.

Jenny skidded down the ditch, landing on the ground. She walked over to one of the Crystals. The certainly were taller than her friend, towering over Jenny herself, and most likely being taller than Taylor and Archer as well. Jenny grabbed onto one of the shorter spires. She tugged on it, grunting when it didn't budge. She put her foot up to the cluster, tugging again. The Crystal broke free, with Jenny falling back with a thud. "Ow."She said sitting up and rubbing her back. She looked back where the crystal had landed. Its tip was stabbed into the ground. "WE'RE DEFINITELY GONNA WANT TO SAND DOWN THE TIPS!"Jenny called to Taylor and Archer, pulling the Crystal out of the ground. She suddenly felt slightly nauseous and light headed.

Archer looked at all the shiny and glowing crystals. "Whoa..." he breathed out as he slid down to the bottom of the ditch. He studied the crystals carefully, cautious not to touch them without thinking. He used his robes as a barrier to protect his hands when he grabbed a small spire. He quickly broke it off.

Taylor followed the other two down into the crater. As Jenny cuts herself and warns them he nods. Carefully the store owner reached out to touch one of the spires. "Peculiar," he murmurs. Then he speaks up, "alright, let's fit what we can. Be careful of the edges, sanding them down or breaking them further could damage their value." Then he reached out and carefully pulled off a small crystal. He bags it, then takes more, and bags those.

Looking at Jenny, he noticed something is wrong. "Jenny, you don't look so good."

"Yeah, I'm... I'm fine."Jenny said standing up. She handed the crystal to Taylor before grabbing onto another and breaking it from the spire. After a few more crystals Jenny had gotten paler, getting bags under her eyes as well. "Here.... this should be enough I think..."Jenny said weakly, handing Taylor the Crystal, with her hand shaking.

Archer came over, using his robe as a makeshift bag to carry the crystals he had. "Jenny, you sure you're ok?" he asked. "You really don't look ok..."
