Fairy waltz

[Anastasia]

'Nothing, but we have a lot of space to cover. Going in like this is going to be troublesome so take it slow and careful,' Sylvie spends, 'We don't have a reason to be hasty yet.'

[Nephrite]

'Understood. I'll keep an eye out as best as I can.' He says. 'It's still odd... this darkness.'

[Anastasia]

'Maybe the storm's a coincidence,' Sylvie reflects, 'But this feels like something's going on here. Who knows what with the natives.'

'They die all the same,' Kaja says, 'Let them try.'

[Nephrite]

'It's a little suspicious, given why we're here.' Moore says. 'We just need to find out what's going on.'

[Anastasia]

Okay, are you running mind blank or anything similar?

[Nephrite]

Everyone has Mind Blank, yes, as well as non-detection.

[Anastasia]

As you walk on...

Since this is a walk in bad conditions, marching order? May very well matter.

[Nephrite]

Sylvie, Moore, Kaja.

[Anastasia]

You walk on. Soon enough, ahead you sense something. A hut, a building rising from the ground. But a single story, but larger. Large as a nice house perhaps.

There.

[Nephrite]

'Interesting. I suppose we ought to investigate.' He says.

He intends to fly towards it further, slowly - unless Sylvie suggests otherwise.

[Anastasia]

The three of you smoothly advance on. Once you get about 50ft away, light returns. A halo of dim light surrounds the house, enough to see by. It's a crumbling, forgotten brick and stone house, windows closed with ancient wooden shutters. The door's likewise barred shut. A chimney is sealed up above as well, you notice.

[Nephrite]

'Whatever this is, it couldn't have... really survived whatever happened here, could it?' Moore asks.

He investigates the surrounding area for magic!

Arcane Sight, Spellcraft for 115 and K:A for 120. Identifying any casters of anything notable if possible.

[Anastasia]

There's overwhelming magic here. Incredibly powerful defensive wards, all focused inwards, to prevent anything from coming out of this house. There are no protections to stop someone from going in, however.

Your divine level of skill also lets you discern that in particular, they're keyed towards aberrations.

[Nephrite]

'So... someone's trapped something or... a lot of somethings in here. That's my take, anyway.' Moore says. 'You can see the same thing I can, I assume, right Sylvie?'

[Anastasia]

'It's keyed to aberrations, and I see why it's intact,' Sylvie agrees. 'It's like a honeyed trap, to draw the unwary or brave in.'
