This strange altar stands before you. Lacking the required knowledge to figure out what it is for, you have resorted to guessing. A summoning circle maybe? But nothing seems to have been summoned, some type of protection, but then you destroyed the fey that was using it.
After a few hours of head scratching, you start to hear a faint voice coming from the stairs leading down.
"No, no, no, it can't be that. Hmm...maybe this. Blast!"
Intrigued by this new development you make your way down the stairs, quietly. Expecting more enemies. However, you find something quite different.
In a room with crystalline walls is a small desk covered with old tomes, and an elderly dragonkin lady. The woman is deeply engrossed in scribing something on the floor.

She blinks in confusion looking around and coughing politely. "Excuse me, miss?" she speaks gently and doesn't move, warhammer firmly slung over her back and out of her hand "What are you doing down here if i may ask?"

Maglor follows down, quietly and attempting to stay out of sight "Be careful, I've got your back." he whispers.
His bow is out, but he hopes he is not seen, so as not seem a threat. He looks throughout the chamber to be sure it is safe. ((stealth +12;perception +13))

Confused, the old woman looks up as you speak.
"What are you doing here? You're not one of those fey. Did the monks send you? I asked to be left to my work, how do they expect me to research the castle of ages if I keep getting bothered?!"

"Yes, the monks sent us. The fey were quite... aggressive. My name is Krystal of Pelor, a pleasure to meet you"

"Well I guess I don't much choice but to believe you. You're not fey...and you haven't tried to kill me. So I guess you can help. I am trying to find out the location of a key, but I need to summon a beast of the underworld to question. The problem is the spell is complex, and i need help.
She gestures to an arcane circle, and then to a pile of crystals.
"The spell makes the circle fade and and the crystals explode, but if the circle fades or the crystal break, the beast won't be contained and it would attack and kill me. Maybe you can help?"

Maglor, feeling safe, make his way out of the shadows. Whispering to his companions "Perhaps this is the key we are looking for..."
Bowing to the woman "I am Maglor, Ranger of the Wild. I can be of no assistance in this ritual, but I can defend you should this beast break free. Perhaps even help to capture it."
"What can you tell us about this creature? Is it very powerful?""

Surprised, the old dragonkin scratches her head.
"Well the information I need would not be known by the weaker demons. By no means do I require a demon prince, but I would not look forward to the creature I must summon getting lose. It would probably be the death of me."
She looks Maglor over. "Actually you may be able to help. As I cast the incantation parts of the circle will fade, but the circle is large, and the ruins complex, with your sharp elf eyes you can spot the fades before they vanish completely. It would probably be best if two of you could scan the circle and and point out where the chalk must be reapplied. Then of course I need someone with knowledge of the arcane to fix the circle, and yet another of you to stack the crystals in the proper order, not much thought there just a strong back and delicate touch. Actually, I may have work for all of you."

Krystal shrugs absently taking the old dragonkin at her word "I'll help. Likely best at spotting or moving. I wouldnt trust myself with the chalk"
