Dick glances at the gem, but decides to leave its examination to those who likely know more about such things. He begins looking around in the room the creature came from instead.
[spoiler]Take 10 on Spot, Search, and Listen for 23, 19, and 19. My psicrystal will attempt to aid another on all of those.
Psicrystal's Spot, Listen, Search to Aid Another:
1d20+10=24, 1d20+8=19, 1d20+6=8So Dick's totals are Spot 25, Search 19, and Listen 22.[/spoiler]
While looking around he says
"And Corben, try not to be so damned hasty in the future. If you hear something behind a door, try listening for a minute to see what it might be, instead of charging right in. We could have used a few seconds to prepare for that thing."He mutters to himself
"Stupid kids." as he turns back to searching.
