Aradra, Daylily and Relic all notice an uncomfortable, droning hum coming from above. Aradra and Daylily are able to determine that this annoying noise is coming from the top of this pillar rock. The carved stairs are ancient, overgrown and seem to wrap around the entire island a couple times as they climb.
Relic casts his incantation, only to be surprised and caught off guard. He twitches a bit before attempting to continues his work.[sblock=Relic]Best analogy: You turned on your high beam lights in a fog bank. The air all around you glows with very strong transmutation magic. The source is too bright to stare at and to your left. When you point in that direction and ask, Daylily says that is the direction of the main island. When you look up towards the annoying noise, there is a strong enchantment glow coming from that direction as well.
Detect Magic is going to be difficult this adventure.
DC 11 fortitude save or be sickened while using.
2 extra rounds to deal with blinding whiteout effect before you can identify.
DC to identify +10 because of the brighter auras.
Result of detect magic: Transmutation aura on the skum, but not any specific spell you know of.
Kn Nature: Skum are male. When they breed with humans, they look human until old age or a sickness death, when they transform into skum. It is a guess that this one turned early.
Kn Local: Wedding Rock. It is a common custom in small villages to have "ceremonial places" to consummate a marriage. They are usually old temples to fertility gods or other similarly consecrated ground.

Daylily wakes Estian. Confusion is in his eyes. He tries to speak, but the croaking voice he now has startles him. His head spins around in a panic, trying to get his bearings and understand what has been done to him.
