Gardens and the Graves

[Seonaid]

Freyja frowns in sympathy. "I'm sorry to hear it. We should do something right away." She turns to her companions. "Does anyone have any idea what happened here?"

 

[Lady Shatterstone]

*Oribella shakes her head. She has no idea what this things is or how to get rid of it. ALl she knows is that this is making her very uncomfortable.*

 

[hafrogman]

Gus looks at the strange item with a faintly puzzled look on his face. He considered himself some what of an expert on the humans and their strange paraphenelia. . . but this was something new. He was fairly sure it wasn't any thing to do with people. Still, the practical question must be answered.

"So. . . how do we get it out?"

[ooc - how big is the sku. . .thing, compared to the hole we came in through?]

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*The skull (yes, you can say it) is bigger than Mr. Mole, and radiates a faint aura of malevolence. There seems to be no logical way for it to get in here without someone or something digging into Mr. Mole's home. And he would have complained of that right off the bat.*

 

[Ashy]

Grouse, perplexed into silence, moves in closer to look over the skull carefully, humming and whistling a few spells here and there to supplement his examination.

OOC: First, Grouse uses his bardic ability to inspire competence supplemented by a revealing melody. This is then followed by Knowledge (arcana) +14, Knowledge (nature) +14, Spellcraft +16 and detec magic

 

[Seonaid]

Freyja likewise detects magic and studies the skull.

OOC: Knowledge (arcana) +19, Knowledge (nature) +17, Spellcraft +20

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Grouse determines the skull seems to be a focus of a malevolent sort. A focus for a portal of some kind, to be precise. Though it looks to have been made by fey, it has been twisted for evil purposes, which is perhaps why the local dryad did not sense it. It seems likely this is how the devil in the well arrived here, though how the focus itself got here is less clear. Someone could have conjured it here, or someone could have physically placed it here. Conjuration seems more likely, as Mr. Mole would have given a digger a piece of his mind and his teeth.*

 

[Ashy]

Grouse scratches his pointy chin and confers what he has learned to the others. He looks to Gus, "So, what'cha think?"

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*As the others debate, rain begins to fall above. Mr. Mole mutters something uncomplimentary about the weather and goes to shore up the roof of his living room. The temperature drops dramatically, and the fairies suddenly realize the rain is turning to ice!*

 

[Lady Shatterstone]

*Shivering with the sudden change of tempature, Oribella wraps her arms around herself and starts looking for the source.*


" Do you usually get snow in the spring around here?" She asks of the others who have called these grounds home.


(ooc: it is spring or almost summer, right???)
