[Hearthstone, Foyer] Dark flagstone floors extend in a gleaming river of darkness beneath thick, handwoven crimson rugs in this spacious foyer. To the north, banners of purple, blue, green, and yellow flutter from a balcony railing some fifty feet overhead. A granite arch sweeps along the length of the western wall, and a magnificent fieldstone staircase curves upward to the east. You also see a veniom-worked carved modwir wastebasket and an ancient felwood credenza with some stuff on it. Also in the room: Juspera, Lord Camulos, Blades, Nutmegg, Lady Stormyrain, Lady Titaniia, Drexla Obvious exits: out. You say, "The odd thing, I do not remember stepping in here."

[Note: scroll is not really a truffle.] Juspera asks, "Who, me?" Blades peers quizzically at Camulos. Blades asks, "Wha happened to you?" Juspera rummages around in her pockets. Camulos says, "Much better stormyrain" Nutmegg says, "Camulos ate the cricket that died in my pants" Nutmegg removes a dead fish from in his black leather pants.

Blades asks, "eh?" Nutmegg removes a cricket from in his etched satchel. Blades says, "wonderful." Camulos asks, "In reference to my most recent of deaths?" Titaniia gazes heavenward. Nutmegg put a cricket in his black leather pants. Stormyrain says, "Ah donnae think he realized that's where it came from." Stormyrain coughs. Blades nods to Camulos. Stormyrain says, "Ah tried tae warn him." Juspera says, "Setzier gave me a cricket I think, and it died, so I thought I would see what it tasted like." [Ooop! There's the sprout! We have an idea!] Camulos says, "Bahh" Drexla asks, "And you complain on walking in on a bad conversation?" Stormyrain says, "He didnae listen." Camulos says, "Roater" Drexla glances at Nutmegg.

[Yet Another Note: Juspera had previously weighed a lead wand, but I editted it out, only to realize that it was something I probably should have left in due to its mild hilarity. Hm.] Juspera exclaims, "Ooh!" Juspera asks, "How many are there?" You say, "Oh, I know you vill." Nutmegg says, "It's a big ring" [It was my old Prince Albert jewelry.] Camulos begins chuckling at Juspera. Nutmegg nods to Juspera. You say, "Not sure, Juspera."

But we did learn an important property to insects! If you have a pile of them, people will just start grabbing them up and crunching away, even stealing some to stash for later! That's pretty neat! ... sort of.
