You consider pulling up the pedestal, but it's rather firmly in the ground. You turn and start heading back up, remembering to bring your squeaky toy, and see that the tax collector isn't still there. You see one of the children playing nearby and also that it wouldn't fit through the tunnel.

Your only concept of personal property is stuff belonging to YOU, and so you decide to break the glass. You jump a bit, flailing around comically, but it stays unbroken.

It's about a foot in diameter, hollow, made of crystal glass, covers the top of the pedestal, and glows slightly. You gently toss the toy at it, and it bounces off with a squeak.

You consider snatching it, but then remember the sphere around it. Gonna need a way around that first.

You take off down the tunnel, noticing that as you go the light shifts from coming from behind you to coming from in front of you. You soon come out into a large room with a pedestal in the middle. A glowing sphere of glass envelopes the top of it, and you can barely see something inside it.

You start running in a zigzag pattern, avoiding the tax collector as he runs after you. You see a small alcove in a cliff that was totally always there I swear.

Nayaru greets Sapphira in a tone that is obviously dripping with happiness and good will.[/sarcasm]

You turn, kicking up sand, and run out the other side of the porch.
