Aurora was surprised to see someone from Waterdeep, especially with the stories she had heard of the upper class and nobility. Perhaps Nibs was one of the few who actually tried to right their wrongs. When he winced in pain Aurora looked at him with concern until she realized the ghostly figures that were around the cave. It seemed part of his curse was to live with the spirits, or manifestations that looked like, those he had wronged. There was part of her that felt sympathy for the man.

She smiled some when Jub talked about removing the curse. Nibs' fear over losing what little chance he had at redemption should the curse be lifted softened her smile. [Color=ed1c24]"Hope in a hags curse is a poor form of redemption. Did you attempt to do anything else to improve yourself and make right what you could before you were cursed, or did you see it as your only way to make it right?"[/color] Aurora said rather bluntly.

When Brutrumukk had leaned in to whisper something to Nibs, Aurora noticed him pocketing some of the coins. That and the shear terror that the blindfolded man exhibited only soured her disposition towards Brutrumukk even more. However, before she could say anything Jub spoke up and called out the gnome on pocketing the gold. Much to her own surprise, Brutrumukk didn't seem to realize he had picked it up and willingly returned it. The matter in which he had bullied Nibs into making a morningstar still bothered her.
