Is she a demon of any renown that I'd recognise her?

No, nothing visually notes off any noteworthy names.

[Ebiris]

Well, her knowledge of demons is hardly exhaustive. Could even just be a temporary look. In any case she has plenty of room to play with as she adjusts space around the corner and way further down the passage past the demon. 'Now,' she sends into the telepathic link, flying back and through that altered space to bypass the demon, correcting it behind her once they're all through to leave no trace and watching the demon from the back to see if her stride changes.

[Anastasia]

It's smooth as silk. The demon doesn't even slow down in the slightest, the party past her without a hitch.

[Ebiris]

Alicia takes a glance back just to see what kind of magic is on that demon so she can appraise her threat level before they continue onwards.

[Anastasia]

Greater Mage Armor, Greater Resistance, Shandra's Barrier.

Shandra's Barrier looks to be some sort of modified shield spell, that lasts longer mostly, along with a slight boost to overall performance.

[Ebiris]

Moderately powerful then but not meaningful on the level they're looking at. Alicia and her friends thus press onwards, deeper and further in.

[Anastasia]

Down. Ahead are the main paths now - a wide path, many side paths winding from it. It smells of water down here more than anything else, lit by regular torches. The air has a smoky tastes to it, yet you can't smell any smoke in the air. Glancing about, several demons and demon thralls walk about there, unhidden in this sanctum.

[Ebiris]

Now with so many demons about they just have to hope they're quiet enough and no one nearby has blindsense, protected at least reasonably from any true seeing or see invisibility powers.

She has a drop onto the floor in grain of sand size so she can use tremorsense again both to refresh herself on the layout and get a feel for where everyone is down here. Tell if anyone's restrained or in what feel like cells, or giving orders to a crowd, that sort of thing that might point to where the work is done down here or where Violet or someone in charge might be.

[Anastasia]

Give me a Stealth check first.

[Ebiris]

[Anastasia]

There's no reactions to you, not yet.

You can sense several areas that may be cells based on restrained people. They're all deeper in, off side paths and isolated. All closer to where you feel the vibrations of the Styx, ever flowing. No signs of speeches or the like that you can tell - perhaps you have true stealth here?

[Ebiris]

That's good but at the same time doesn't strictly help them with finding someone in charge as yet. However securing the cells and denying the enemy a chance to use hostages against them is a good place to start, so Alicia will carefully guide her companions in the direction of the most secluded of those potential restraint rooms.

You barely go far before your divine hearing picks up something useful from afar.

"Violet," A female voice says, languid and amused, "Is it ready yet?"

[Ebiris]

'Wait a moment,' Alicia bids her friends, focusing her attention on that voice and whoever replies to it...
