[h2][color=7bcdc8]Nibs' Cave[/color][/h2][/CENTER]

Nibs gives a shaky, but grateful smile when Aurora accepts the boots with praise. However the smile disappears with a noticeable wince, even through the blindfold. His expression is back to the normal fearful, miserable state.

[hider=Passive Perception 12]You see the cause of Nibs's pained wince. There is a shadowy apparition of a grubby child jabbing at him and peering over his shoulder. Then, you see more of them...!

A gaunt coachman lingers in the back of the cave. A long-faced woman dabs her face with a handkerchief. A rail-thin waif moves quickly about the cave, poking and jabbing at Nibs. 

But most importantly to Gabriel, is a familiar figure of a woman...gently holding an empty baby blanket in her arms. Somehow...recognition washes over him! That silhouette is that of his mother...!

All of their features are hidden in shadow, with only their eyes alight in white.[/hider]

Nibs looks to Aurora when she asks about his origins, and he answers her shakily, "Oh. No...I'm from Toril. Waterdeep, to be specific..." 

When Jub speaks to Brutrumukk, Nibs quickly turns his head towards the two, judging from where he heard them, and he confirms Jub's words, "You are right, young man. The coins are cursed. If you take the coins, you'll be cursed too. So, please...don't. I'd hate to see anyone else suffer my fate,"
