"It is quite powerfully enchanted with Abjurations, as well as Conjuration and Transmutation magicks. I will share what I learn about it as I learn it." Looking at her friend Chat'cho she then says back to 'Muiko, "But, as you say, we do need to start making haste. We also don't want those fiery mephits warning the efreeti, especially not that certain one." |

"If Chat'cho doesn't feel rushed, I am eager to learn more of this particular item. It rouses a [Elven: nostalgia] in me for simpler times"
Once the tent is raised again, 'Muiko will open the tent flap and lead Quila in. He will quickly survey the inside for exits and once he believes he's found them all, he'll Wizard Lock them. After that, the only other divination he has available currently is Detect Psionics.
I'll mark down that he's out of all slots except a single 4th level (this assumes two Wizard Locks).
'Muiko will assist Quila as well as he can but is tapped for further investigation casting until he sleeps.

Once the tent is raised again... A loud and angry "HOLD!" is uttered by the Murmillo. Large sweat beads drip constantly from his nose, chin and neck.  The frustrating and unbearable heat has clearly made its impact on the giant despite staying within the heat protection bubble. He pulls out his large water skin and takes a long hydrating drink before continuing... "I'm done with this Mekillot shit heat! If we're gonna stay longer and fuck around, I'm coverin' myself in da oil. I rather fight and die come-fort-billy-tee than sweat another God's damn drop in dis God's damn HEAT!"He waits a moment to see if the magik users wish to leave now OR continue their reassembly and examination of the tent. IF STAYING, Attilius quickly looks around for enemy’s. If no danger is visible he unceremounously drops his massive shield, stows his gouge then begins coating himself with the oil. Once fully coated he waits for the promised effects to kick in. THEN, using his considerable strength and height, quickly helps with the tent raising. |

- "If you decide to inspect the tent maybe far from here, even if we go where we came from, we could exchange it for something else in the place we started our journey" - no names provided - "But remaining here to check and been spied, and drain more oil is a waste of resources and a risk by itself" - as she looks if there is any physical rest of the defeated hag

"Well, in truth, the inquiries that I wish to make must wait until we rest, though I am not one to argue with Templars" 'Muiko looks to Quila as he awaits her response.

Chat'cho shrugs a four shoulder shrug.
"At least I won't get chitin rot here. Hurry up though."

Before Quila goes into the tent she will activate her Danger Sense power (OOC: Bob, tell me if I need to roll for it, b/c my scores are so high on this I get a powerscore effect on 18-20, no real fail chances unless you adjust it downward due to something) to have a precognitive alarm bell. Quila will go for the tent flap she saw the brunette go through. She will use her regular agafari wood staff and push the flap aside and looks at what is behind it. In all these seemingly very fast-to-do steps she will observe caution and listen to her sixth sense. |

Once the tent is back up, Attilius gears up and stands on overwatch 30' away from the tent towards the dome's direction.

No danger is sensed as you enter the now normal smelling tent. Everything is in a proper place. It is quite cozy inside.

Then you open the velvet flap. It leads to something slightly less bright than the flames outside the other (front) door to the tent.
Immediately left and right there's dark granite rocky mass. Directly in front, reddish skies; heat. A large ball of fire falls from the sky in the distance. Obsidian, rust-red rocks and sand betray a sun-less sky. It smells of inix dung fires and alkaline salts. There is no evidence of your hag query. It is quieter than the fires behind you, but not by much... it takes a moment but you hear screeching winds.

Coden has looked over Quila's shoulder and unless there's something odd about the weather...
The sky has none of the usual color of home. Olive green skies are the norm back home, as well as a red sun for this amount of light.

Quila will throw a small stone or other tidbit through the portal and see whether it literally lands a few feet ahead, on the other side of the flap. Does she feel any change to her Danger Sense?
She will activate her power of Know Location as she still stands in the tent, which she would expect to indicate something about where they are on the Eternal Hearth (OOC: 15 on 19, so quite specific).
She looks at Coden, raising her eyebrows in an unspoken query, and adds "Do you think it wise to step through and get a reading of the place, with Know Location, to see what we can expect or are up against later?"

The stone falls a bit away. As you look down, there is some evidence of a path through the reddish sands. They lead off to the right.
Your power reveals that while in the tent, you are still on the elemental plane of fire.

Niachi twists to peek through the flap.
"Interesting. Maybe Coden can move a pebble in mentally, see what happens, then move it back to us and see what the pebble can say.
There are stories of alternate material planes -"almost copies"- of what we know to be Athas.
I have a few casts left in me. But a Nap will recharge me for seeing our quarry's footsteps into that WierdAthas."
