Subject: Let's see...
I think the only immediate item that Linnix would want/use is the MW hand crossbow and bolts. Other than that, the only other item that'd immediately jump out at her is the snakey dagger, and not because she's interested in taking it 
oh, that's assuming you're talking about the snakey one

Topic: Forgotten Realms: The Unsung Heroes
Subject: Aftermath
Linnix looks around frantically, looking for some other enemy to dispatch; her anger had not been satisfied. Standing there, seething, the truth slowly began to sink in. This battle was over.
The daggers fall harmlessly out of Linnix's hands, and she slumps to the ground, exhausted. Her shoulder blade's pain suddenly returns tenfold, reminding Linnix of its existance. She winces; she had pushed herself emotionally, and it began to show. She was tired, and yet, she hadn't done much at all, so why was she so tired? Linnix rubs her eyes, her hands still with the imprinting of the handles of the daggers and crossbow they were holding so tightly onto earlier. Rest and other thoughts would have to wait, right now there was still a few things to be done.
"How's everyone doing?" Linnix asked, her voice shaking, although whether it was from a remaining anger or exhaustion is a bit difficult to tell.
Linnix then stands up, and puts away her fallen weapons. She looks toward Aelistae specifically. Something had changed about the Drow Priestess. Her sword was out, and that was a bit bizarre in itself, knowing that Aelistae had started the battle with her bow, but something was wrong. Her grip was slightly offset, and the sword also was slightly angled from the way she had held it in the battle against the spider, or was that how she always held it? Was the change just something to do with the actual lighting? No, Linnix stopped herself; her intuition was telling her something was amiss, and as a good friend, she would find out and help.
Linnix began to walk toward Aelistae, but something then caught her eye. The throne was just to her right, and she thought she saw a glimmer of an unexpected dull metal. Linnix quickly glances back towards Aelistae. Well, she reasons, I suppose everyone else nearby might make it a bit awkward... I'll have to wait. Linnix turns and begins examining the throne. Amidst the golden trim and jewels, there was definately small bits and traces of an inner mechanism within, and there were traces and even parts of non-precious metal showing.
"Hey!" Linnix calls, "There is something inside this fancy hollow chair!"
Of course, Linnix wasn't sure that it was hollow, but if it was a hidden thing, chances were good that it was something valuable. It was just like that bag of gold coins she acquired from inside the hidden drawer in a desk of someone she was stealing from when she first started out. Well, this was a bit more complex, but if there's a hand or even finger sized hole or groove (like the handle underneath of that drawer) then there could be something. Linnix continues examining the chair, testing the grooves in the woodwork, until she finds a pair of parallel grooves running along the side of the chair's back. With a small grin on her face, she pushes her fingers around the strip of metal inlay, finding purchase behind it, and yanks, the actually thick metal inlay actually coming out of the wood at her hand, revealing it to be a lever. With a few mechanical clinks and grinds, the back of the throne falls off, revealing what appeared to Linnix to be just a metal box. She quickly looks at it for a lock, and finds none.
"Xaris! Kick it open!" Linnix calls to the little gnome, uncertain of how much force it would take to open the thing.

It gives you a handheld silver mirror that doesn't have a handle, but instead has two rings, one on each side that implies you'd hold it between your hands, and has a blue tassel attached to each ring.
I give it a writing set. (blank book, pencil, lead, eraser, and paper pad)

I just realized and checked my dice, but by the description you gave, I actually have a set of dice that match the set you mentioned for Linnix
Hehehe, the only thing is they might not be as clear as in the description. Oh well, I just thought I'd mention it

Topic: Forgotten Realms: The Unsung Heroes
Subject: The Little Voice of Suspicion
At the noise and sight of the lightning bolt, Linnix froze. Her eyes darted to the woman, and her jaw dropped open. From her mouth, which may have been dropped in shock or surprise, a hiss like an enraged cat escapes as her eyes narrow. She had questioned it, but didn't say anything about it, and now her companions could die from this!? It was an outrage! Yet, the thing that stunned Linnix the most was that she could have prevented this from happening. She could worry about that later, right now, she had something to do.
Linnix raises her crossbow in sheer anger and malice, levelling it with the head of the woman. Her eyes a moment ago were flat with determination, but now, they sparked and erupted with the vindictive rage within her. Without even a second thought, Linnix fired, and the woman had better hope she dies with this bolt, because otherwise Linnix will reach her with her blade.

Topic: Forgotten Realms: The Unsung Heroes
Subject: What to Do?
Time crawls to a standstill just as the door opens; the slight pause before the storm, and what a storm it would prove to be. Battlecries and threats and the sounds of weapons firing or being swung filled the air in an instant, however, Linnix heard none of it. Coherent thought seemingly lost in transit, Linnix only took in the scene, singling out the woman, the ogre, and the orc closest to the woman. The ogre was definately no force to be underestimated, but Linnix was past worrying about that right now. As soon as she had a clear shot, Linnix fired her crossbow, aiming at the head or torso of the closest enemy to the one they had to ensure the rescue of. Her eyes darted around, looking for the other one that was supposed to be there, only to find nothing.
She was afraid, she was nervous, she was tense, and she was angry, but the emotions all combined into a single determination. In order to acquire what reward there was from this, Linnix still had to fulfill the mission, and right now, that was all that mattered. The overwhelming feeling shines brightly in Linnix's eyes, her pain from earlier vanishing from her mind as even her small, hidden thought to run away was overridden, and all thinking becomes solely directed to that single goal to rescue the woman and her daughter.

"Yes, let's go!" Linnix says, a little bit nervous in anticipating the case that the party would actually end up fighting an ogre, and just slightly on edge in general.
The racous door had left Linnix unsettled; surely some person or something would've heard such a noise. Either that, or they were surely warned of intruders. In any case, the fact that nothing acted on it was unnerving alone, but the anticipation was driving Linnix a bit crazy.
When the party reaches the final door on the side of the hallway, Linnix murmurs, "Can you be sure first that this one won't be so loud as that other one?"

Subject: Keeping Watch
While Xaris and Artanis check the rooms on either side of the hallway, Linnix stands with her crossbow ready in the hall, watching in both directions. She noticeably winces at the racous noise caused by the door Xaris opens, and quickly glances along the hall. When nothing seems to occur, Linnix breathes out; she didn't realize she was holding her breath again.
"Anything?" She asks softly, her voice hardly above a whisper.

Topic: Welcome or Not!
Subject: Item Creation - The Search for Materials
The girl awoke to the dawn, as the sun's warming rays touched her invisible form. She yawns and stretches, but then something catches her eye. There is a glimmer below, in the marketplace. Curious, the girl flies over, just above the people below.
One merchant in the market decided to display a beautiful gem, and it was its sparkle in the sunlight that caught the girl's attention. The sapphire was cut exquisitely, the angles catching the sunlight just perfectly. However, the gemstone was only being sold on its own; it was not within a ring or pendant, or other type of jewellery. This didn't bother the girl in the slightest; she was a craftsperson after all, but now how to buy the gem?
It was a simple matter for her, being used to doing this sort of thing, as she flies over to a deserted alley. She makes sure that it is indeed empty and there was no one watching, looking all over the alley methodically; she was used to this. Pulling out her belt pouch, which actually held considerably more than a normal pouch should. Still invisible, she lays out a few articles of elven-sized clothing for her to wear as she places what she is currently wearing in the bag. With calculated thoughts, she concentrates and brings her form to change. Her dragonfly wings retract into her back as her size increases. Putting on the clothing she had chosen, she allows herself to become visible.
She now had the appearance of an elven woman, with autumn-red hair and blue eyes, dressed in a relatively plain purple dress. Putting her pouch back on her waist, she confidently walks back out of the alley and proceeds to buy the gem displayed by the merchant, for a lofty sum. Placing the gem carefully in her bag, the woman strolls through the marketplace, searching for inspiration or other materials she could use. Finally getting a bar of silver and a circlet mold, she now wanders through the town, searching for a place where she can start her craft.

Topic: Forgotten Realms: the Unsung Heroes Q/A
Subject: Oooh, that sounds good
It might be nice to do everything in one trip (i.e. grab all the treasure and kill all the monsters) but remember, we're wearing ourselves fairly thin with this, and have exhausted a lot of our supplies, with regards to healing anyway. If we come across the mother and the daughter, then our objective would be complete, and we could come back at a more leisurely pace, if we wanted to; don't forget we're supposed to be doing the main quest as well.
If we see something very interesting and desireable, we can still pick it up this way, but we'd also be going as fast as possible, and hopefully run into the mother and daughter sooner with less encounters... and traps...
Well, that's my 2 copper pieces on it anyway

Subject: Well
If Linnix can catch anything in terms of hearing muffled cries for help or anything, that'd also help pinpoint where the mother and daughter is... even if that is a bit much to go for.
Well, Linnix is two-minded about the doors: checking all of them out could provide more treasure, and they could potentially run across the mother and the daughter, but at the same time it takes up a lot more time, and they might run into too many enemies. So, in the end, Linnix just follows the group

Subject: Let's Get Going ^-^
"Oh, don't worry about me!" Linnix says quickly, sheathing her blade at the same time, "I know I'm a bit battered, but it's not as big of a deal as some of the others, namely the fighters."
Linnix says this with a reassuring smile; in her mind, she already began to doubt the next time she'd be right next to an attacker. She didn't expect it to occur again with the party reunited after the unfortunate separation earlier. It could happen again, but Linnix really felt that someone else could use the healing far more than her, or maybe it should just be saved for later.
"Right, let's get after what we came here for!" Linnix says, drawing her hand crossbow, and obviously waiting for the party to continue.
[OOC: They're exclamation marks, but Linnix is still keeping the volume down a bit, although she doesn't know whether or not it is necessary still]

Subject: An Unexpected Light
(sorry this is going to be a quick post, since I have to go to bed soon)
Stepping away from the hole in the floor, Linnix's eyes adjust as her vision returns. However, in glancing down to watch her steps, she sees a light blue light seemingly coming from her new sword, which stuck out a bit from the sheath because of the webbing still on it. Drawing the sword, Linnix carefully wipes the rest of the webbing off, and if it sticks to her hand, she smears it against the wall with her mouth curled in disgust. The now relatively clean blade definately has a blue glow about it, and Linnix holds it up to inspect it more.
"Why is it glowing like that?" She asks of no one in particular, as intrigued in the blade as she was with the orbs of light when she first came across them.

Step outside, looking at the sky, only to find that it is an incredibly sunny day. In any case, warp back to your house to grab the toothpaste. Finally, open the package and pull out the new toothbrush. Now just make sure you have the toothbrush in your dominant hand, and the toothpaste in your other hand, and proceed to Step 12.

Topic: Forgotten Realms: The Unsung Heroes
Subject: Mixed Words
“I could be better,” Aelistae replied simply, although she was touched at the concern Linnix had shown for her welfare. “If it were not for you I would have fallen. I owe you my life.”
Linnix's eyes, although she couldn't really see anyway, look away, as mixed feelings spark in her mind. "Don't..." Linnix begins, but then hesitates, uncertain of how to say what she felt. Her emotions were in turmoil, a part of her accepting and acknowledging the praise, but another part questions not the praise, but the person whom it was for.
"You shouldn't be so quick to look at me..." Linnix finally says, and quickly adds, "I mean, it was you who was actually fighting the thing... I didn't do all that much..."
Linnix bites her lip; she realized she was rambling, and saying a bit much. However, it unsettled her. Was she really as reliable as the notion suggested? Linnix had no doubt in the reliability of her skills, and what few combat strengths she had, but when it came to her as a person, she didn't yet know. She had broken people's trust before, and she had aided some that needed it... Linnix realizes she has one other thing she really should say.
"You don't owe me anything." Linnix says with sincerity, turning back towards the Drow Priestess with a smile, "Your blade saved both of us; I only helped. In any case, you were defending me, and so, if anything, it should be the other way around."
* * *
"Helloooo down there. Are you okay?” a voice from above suddenly called out. “I have a rope to pull you out. Aelistae, Kas has been injured badly. If you have any healing left it would certainly help or if you don't I hope you have good healing skills we going to need it up here."
Linnix looks and nods at Aelistae, "You should go first and help; it'd be easier for them to help one person up at a time."
