Relief

[Anastasia]

A long walk and further - still no sign of anyone that you can find.

[Nephrite]

Moore continues on - there's no way they could've killed everything here. He will keep going until they find something else.

'Jetina, see what you and Kaja can do to get information out of those two. If Melia is around have her interrogate them. Use magic if you need to to make them tell the truth. We need to know more about what they did here.'

[Anastasia]

'We're already working on it,' Jetina says, 'But their minds are sealed and by an extremely powerful spellcaster. We're working on it.'

[Nephrite]

Well, for now, all they can do is go forward and keep looking.

[blockquote]Rolled 1d100 : 37, total 37[/blockquote] In case you need it.

[Anastasia]

You wander on. The passage to the first stairwell is blocked. Thick slabs of metal seal the way entirely, the edges of it and the stone melted together, as if great heat fused them together.

[Nephrite]

Ah, this was probably the other one.

Moore gestures and a Divine Blast comes from his hand to open the way.

[Anastasia]

Sure enough, it carves right through mere metal and opens a hole for you all to get through.

[Nephrite]

Moore proceeds onwards, though he does stop for a moment.

Take 10 on Spellcraft for 120 if he can pick up any magic on the metal. If so, he'd like to identify the caster.

Take a further 10 for 125 on K:P for whatever the name is.

[Anastasia]

CL on whatever means you use to detect magic.

[Nephrite]

[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+45 : 10 + 45, total 55[/blockquote]

[Anastasia]

You don't detect any magic.

[Nephrite]

'Whatever it is they're doing to hide their magic is impressive.' He says as he goes along. 'I can't detect any at all.'

[Anastasia]

'Or there's no magic at all, which is just as impressive,' Sylvie remarks.

'Either way, let us go, whomever this is, they are not weak,' Cresiel says. 'They will now cower at a confrontation.'

[Nephrite]

'I haven't been able to detect anything with Hindsight, so something is protecting them, at least.' He says as they go down the familiar steps.

[Anastasia]

You do - and when you reach the bottom, more metal slabs block the way.
