Mallaby says to nobody in particular.  "If so, then my love will be pleasantly surprised to see us!"The party descends down into the valley, crosses the little bourne, and makes their way towards the chapel.  Though the grass is cropped short by grazing beasts, no animals can be seen, apart from a single large bird of prey, slowly circling over the chapel, high above.[sblock=perception 21]The bird, a large eagle, is carrying something in its claws, although it's too far away to tell what.[/sblock][sblock=map]<img src="http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss315/randomlinenoise/Church%20on%20Time/ChapelEncounterSetting.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Stairs are considered difficult terrain.Rubble is difficult terrain.  If the middle of a square is occupied by rubble, it is considered difficult terrain.  A bit of rubble at the edges is just artistic license.The altar in the center is an extra square of movement to move into an altar space.  Moving from one to the other is not an issue.The altar also provides partial cover against ranged attacks.The pillars in the alcoves are solid and tall.  It could be possible to squeeze behind one.The fallen pillar in L-M14 is difficult terrain.In H7 and Q12 are big holes in the floor, leading down to the chapel undercroft, which is normally entered through the structure at E7.The party is approaching from the east (left).[/sblock]</blockquote>
