Off to the see the (dragon) wizard! (Jaela)

[Corwin]

Jaela points the shimmering pool out to Mirima. "How about there? We're fire-proof, and I can make sure we all breathe naturally in water beforehand."

[Anastasia]

"It should be easy," Mirima smirks, "Though hopefully a good workout."

[Corwin]

Jaela touches back down, and touches Mirima and Lisa's shoulders to imbue all three of them with Water Breathing, before setting off towards the building by the lake!

[Anastasia]

Spot.

[Corwin]

Casting Invisibility Purge

Lisa: Spot 52, Listen 52, Scent
Jaela: Spot 38, Listen 26, Blindsight, Invisibility-busting 140ft radius aura

[Anastasia]

As you begin to approach, you see the rippling heat shimmers and blurs, moving in odd and unnatural patterns.

[Corwin]

Jaela ensures that Lisa is reasonably protected from the heat, while raking her mind for the reasons for the unnatural movement.

Resist Fire 30 on Lisa. Divine Insight recast, as always.

Anyways, do I think this is a magical phenomenon? Something that fits a planar animal, maybe? Taking ten for... K:A 60, K:N 41, K:R 65, K:P 65, Spellcraft 52

[Anastasia]

You don't think it's a creature. Something's manipulating the heat waves there, you aren't sure precisely how offhand. Some manner of control or powerful fire-aligned force? You just don't know enough, it's not distinctive. ]

Whatever it is, you're fairly sure it's harmless. A sign or a side effect more than something dangerous.

[Corwin]

"Once we go in, we'll stick to the same tactics as before," Jaela says, continuing to advance. "I'll hold and counter any attack. Lisa, take cover and alert us if there's a second attack or an ambush. You can probably smell one even if nothing shows." Turning towards her girlfriend, Jaela says, "I need you to keep your distance and skirmish to harass the opponent. If it's a golem or something you can't easily hit, try for magic to contain, like with the walls of force. Once we have what we came here for, I'll teleport us out."

[Anastasia]

"Yes, yes," Mirima agrees, "Are you that uncertain as to our odds here?"

[Corwin]

"We're not exactly taking on a Duke of Hell, but I don't want us to pick up too many scars either. If I mess up here after that shit with Kras, I'll just seal myself in a cave from shame."

[Anastasia]

"Hah," Mirima smirks, "Then we'll have to make this a battle to remember!"

[Corwin]

"Works," Jaela agrees with a matching smirk.

[Anastasia]

As you get closer, you see the building is one big, sprawling story with a lake near it. Doors go out from the building right in front of the lake, which shimmers in the heat as well. It's largely overgrown and otherwise unremarkable.

[Corwin]

Jaela heads for the doors!
