Allured by the promise of power, the doomed dwarf Thyto seeks out the Outlaws in their hidden lair in Akkaio and decides that he must have the power of the Dark Crystal for himself, thinking that he can turn it to his own uses.

(14:38:47) Narure looks on Thyto, "You have heard rumor of our great power then?"
(14:39:13) Thyto smiles, "Yes, whisperings have reached my ears."
(14:39:15) Saida says: GREAT POWER OF KIDNAPPING!!
(14:39:24) Thyto gawps in suprise!
(14:39:38) Elvi looks at Saida "shush"
(14:39:42) Saida fight against the ropes.
(14:39:45) Narure roars "Behold!" and he points to the glowing crystal that is twice the size of an Enki, shrouded in shadows in the corner of the room.

It pulses evilly, a great brooding crystal that seems to whisper promises to the wretched dwarf in his very soul. Promises of dark pleasures and power beyond belief. As the purple emanation intensifies, Thyto seems fascinated and oblivious to anything else in the room.

(14:39:56) Thyto's eyes widen...
(14:40:11) Narure says: Can you feel the power?
(14:40:15) Thyto begins to tremble.
(14:40:24) Thyto says: Ummm... ah... oh...
(14:40:44) Saida says: What are you doing to him?
(14:40:47) Narure smiles
(14:41:09) Elvi says: watch and learn...
(14:41:12) Thyto's expression begins to glaze over.
(14:41:55) Saida laugh: Watch? I? What are you doing?
(14:42:08) Elvi grins evilly.
(14:42:11) Thyto continutes to tremble and jerk.
(14:42:24) Narure looks Thyto up and down "I can see you are strong willed"
(14:43:08) Narure smiles "Think of all you could do with that power."
(14:43:44) Thyto blinks a few times, looking at Narure.
(14:44:16) Thyto begins to draw closer to the crystal... with a look of dread fascination upon his face.
(14:44:39) Skatty falls through the tent half drunk...
(14:45:01) Elvi welcomes Skatty to the party
(14:45:09) Narure says: Are you ok skatty?
(14:45:12) Skatty says: Gwweetings!
(14:45:18) Elvi grins
(14:45:18) Saida tries to guess what going on in the room.
(14:45:35) Narure says: Just touch it Thyto, you know you want the power...
(14:45:40) Thyto's face is glazed as he approaches the glowing crystal...
(14:45:54) Thyto drools and begins to reach for the crystal with visions of the power and how he will transform Hydlaa to his will...
(14:46:06) Narure stands back a ways...

As his hand nears the crystal, the purple glow of it intensifies and the edritch flames of unknown power surge across his hand and up his arm. He feels at first invigorated, but as the flame reaches his eyes and then his mind, it burns  directly into his heart and soul.

(14:46:14) Thyto says: AAAAHHHHHHHHH!
(14:46:24) Elvi backs up a bit.
(14:46:31) Thyto's eyes go wide and a look of horror crosses his face!

Realizing too late the mistake he has made, Thyto is unable to free his hand from the crystal, and looks around imploringly at the cruel faces of the Outlaws who stand back, mocking him as the pain becomes unbearable and hideous visions of evil explode in his mind.

(14:46:37) Thyto says: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
(14:46:52) Elvi laughs!
(14:46:56) Skatty looks around the tent to the fallen body and laughs!
(14:47:00) Saida making herself as small as she can and tries too keep her ears closed.
(14:47:00) Narure smiles "Mwuhaha!"

Thyto's body crumbles and falls, a dessicated pile of ashes and bone that falls to the floor as his tortured soul is sent screaming back to the Death Realm where he forgets all that came before the excruciating pain and terrible visions that his desire of the power of the crystal unleashed upon his soul.

Later in Hydlaa a frightened dwarf was heard, screaming and gibbering as he fled from one place to another, his face ghastly pale and his countenace afrighted.

(15:55:14) Thyto says: Ahhh! The Dark Crystal! It burned! It burned! Woe to Hydlaa for the Outlaws bring a great evil upon the land! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

He was last seen, screaming and running away from Hydlaa out by the ancient stone head in the valley. He has not been seen since.
