After a whole lot of looking, Mike hadn't found a single book that looked like it would be useful. 'I can't believe this! I was prepared to leave here without anything new, sometimes the loot you want just doesn't drop. However I was [i]not[/i] prepared to lose stat points! In fact, because of how Zandaka works, that one missing STR point hurts me a lot more then it should. Coming here made me significantly weaker! I should at least be able to find something to make up for that!' Mike fumed to himself. He was brought out of his mental ranting by Lucian's voice, who for some reason was sounding a little upset 'must be because of Erica' he thought to himself. "Thanks" he said as he took the familiar gem and placed it in his inventory. While he had no plans for it at all, he felt that he should tread lightly around someone grieving over the loss of someone else.
