Loose strings and unseen beings

The dispel is ineffective.

The runic writing seems to be in the trade tongue. You ('Muiko) are standing far enough away when attempting the dispel to not have to read the writing if you don't wish to.

Niachi detects magic within the large flask as well as the pile of linen strips. Abjuration to be specific.

'Muiko did not read it, yet.

[Niachi]

Niachi nods and points:

"Abjuration in the flask and fabric. Yeh clear this level as far as what we've kept track of. This temple should connect with the underground city. If this level keeps going, we don't dare stretch ourselves. ..I've wasted my weaponboosting spells that take too damn long to power up for my liking. Need to predict when to use it. That Moment spell is clutch for just about every action we take. What's it's duration?"

He avoids looking at the trade-talk runes.

Thessik's stomach grumbles and he gnaws at some grey brick of his people's rations:

"Mmphh -City huh? Need a proper survey team down here once this tomb business is done. I know the right crew."

[Quila Oris (John M.)]

"All valid concerns. Let me look more at this level then," Quila says.

She will cast Find Traps (3 turn duration) again before concentrating and manifesting Clairvoyance[/i] trying to also get auditory signals.

Quila places her third eye beyond the door she was last at (the hallway with another 6 niches in the top right of the drawing of this level) and starts scanning further ahead. But then she gets the idea to look about to see if the hands were anywhere else along the route - possibly waiting in ambush. Knowing this won't take long, she retraces the entire route up until that point to make sure she has an accurate read of the dungeon. -DM edit

(OOC: rolled 8 for Clairvoyance needing 19-20, success. Power Manipulation rolled a 7 on 14, success. PSP: 136/146.)

"For me this Moment spell can be used to help support or direct 8 actions, so give or take just little less than a minute." (OOC: 1 round/level, so 8 rounds)

Quila answers Niachi while having her far-away glaze in her eyes already.

[Skrye [AC3; 48/48HP]]

- Skrye grabs the fabric strips before meditating to commune with the spirits of earth to revitalise her magic.
Once she finishes, turns around - "I can also cast Moment and other protective spells if needed, although the idea of having to over downwards to search for our goal are very appealing to me. But then it makes me wondering, who is protected in the sarcophagus by the spirits Quila talked not long ago?"
