Mystran rest

[Anastasia]

Indeed, no further barriers seem to be here as you twist past. Odd indeed.

"I wonder if we circumvented something," Latha wonders aloud, "This seems strangely mundane."

[Ebiris]

"Did your scout approach from this direction as well, Phoebe?" Alicia asks. Surely Phoebe herself can't be betraying them by leading them into a trap.

[Anastasia]

"Yes, and this is new," Phoebe says, "If done quickly, it is an impressive work, if incomplete."

[Ebiris]

"It's cold enough for water to freeze naturally but getting this much and shaping it into a block would take work," Marie says via her projected image as they approach the building, more compressed space letting them get there in a hurry.

[Anastasia]

You hurry along - but as you approach the building begins to move back and away. It glides back, but nothing your space folding can't beat if you make an effort.

[Ebiris]

"Is the building the entrance to the demiplane?" she asks Phoebe, first taking them to the building's original location to check that out.

[Anastasia]

"Yes," Is the answer as you fly ahead to it and catch up. It's like a barracks, one story and large, winding on and ahead. It's made of old brick and stone, weathered but intact. Ice clings to the wall in places, and icicles dangle from the the edges of the roof. A single entrance leads in, wide open to enter.

Far behind you, you can hear the wail of the dead, but not close enough to be any danger.

[Ebiris]

Once they're close enough, Alicia looks it over for magic.

Arcane sight. Plus blindsight for getting an idea of what's all inside beyond what can be immediately seen through the door.

The barracks have several enchantments. It has an enhancement to move away from those that approach it. Is is unholy ground that bolsters the dead. The living find themselves drawn to death within, finding it more and more appealing as it frays at their minds. A matching enchantment glorifies self harm in those who proceed in, as it batters and destroys their sanity. It's also warded against teleportation and similar measures within, as you'd expect.

[Ebiris]

So far nothing terribly threatening to them, but no idea what waits inside the demiplane itself. She dispels the mobility enchantment just to stop it from moving around so aimlessly before they fly in through the door.

The magic crumbles to your command as you step in.

It is dark here, as you would expect, until moonlight and sunlight parts the shadows. A large, long and functional entrance hall is ahead here. The walls are dotted with elegant, beautiful artworks of shadows. Drawings that radiate magic - a powerful, befouled creation, something to spew them forth like a plague.

[Ebiris]

Rather like what Emmaline came to Sylica with, though likely not as productive. "Phoebe, Latha, it would behoove us to destroy the artwork here," she suggests, letting them handle that while she looks for additional defenders, or the entrance to the actual demiplane they're here for.

[Anastasia]

As you say that, the art begins to emit shadows. They emerge swiftly as Latha smiles, "It will be our pleasure," she remarks.

Phoebe raises her hand, as moonlight gathers around her.

At the far end is another doorway leading deeper in, closed and chained over.

Init here.

[Ebiris]

Illusion Marie is next to Alicia, real Marie is back by the front door.
