Nydilind takes a deep breath and stands up. "You're right, we need to concentrate on the task at hand. Kerry, we can talk more later."

She heads over to the chest again and carefully looks it over, searching for any sort of mechanism that looks like a trap. When she is done, she says, "Well, based on that letter, it looks like there's only two ways out. One, we need to find out what Erelhei-Cinlu is, and then go to it. Or two, we need to either destroy their cursed shrine and restore Rao's statue." She thinks a moment, then continues, "Or, if someone has some way to allow resistence to magic, that could be a way out." She looks at the chest again and says, "I wonder what we might find in there? I mean there's no need for those dark elves to have an item that would bestow resistence to magic, but then again, if they did, they might put it somewhere since they didn't really need it..."
