==Transcript==
===Introduction===
A confused silence ripples over your party as you stare at the spectacle before you. Rakshara sighs.
"Crystal takers," she says. "They bring shame upon our people."
In the little nook, ensconced between the shining gemstone-like walls, repose a group of orocs. Their multicolored bodies are arrayed in positions of utter indolence, sprawling and reclining in lazy rapture. Several of them are placing small gleaming fragments of crystal in their mouths, crunching and chewing them between their teeth. Others have small piles of colored dust in their hands, which they appear to be snorting up their nostrils.
One of them turns a pair of hazy eyes in your direction, and commences gawking. A moment later she's pointing at you, a look of horror on her pink face.
"Dragon!" she screams. "Dragon!"
Her panic is so sincere that you almost turn round in search of the creature which has inspired such dread in her. Then you realize that she's pointing at your shield.
Her terror is infectious. The others take up the cry, and somehow manage to find their way to their feet. Their hands and body crystals begin to glow as they shriek the words of spells.
Rakshara sighs once more.
"When our spellcasters abuse crystals, their powers become dangerous and unpredictable. Be careful."
===Conclusion===
"These crystals..." Tessa says, eyeing a pile of the fragments the orocs were consuming. "They came from their own bodies, didn't they?"
"Yes," Rakshara replies. "Among our people, those who are to become dusters are fed special foodstuffs, which alter the growth of their crystals. It fills them with magical powers, which they may later use to heal others. However, if we orocs choose to consume psychedelic lichens and other such things..."
"Your body crystals take on the hallucinogenic properties," you finish.
"Yes."
The oroc spits on the ground and turns away.
