Meredith leads the group passed the pond and through the woods a short distance before reaching the base of a short cliff in a clearing, about fifteen feet high. There was, otherwise, nothing particularly remarkable about it.

[sblock]At the base of the cliff, Meredith could see the old man look back, directly at her, and then he stepped into the face of the cliff, passing through it as if it weren't there and vanished from sight.[/sblock]

[sblock]There doesn't seem to be any psionic activity affecting Meredith. Larry can, however, sense unusual psionic energy from various patches of ground near them in the forest, or rather, originating from two or three feet under these patches of ground. There appear to be a few dozen of them in the immediate vicinity.[/sblock]
Back by the road, as Nick and Cade studied the scene, a police car pulled up on the road behind them, and Sergeant Gibbens got out with a scowl on his face. "Figured I'd find you here," he grunted, his head shifting minutely towards the burned patch of ground before he fastens his gaze back on the two. "Where are the others? Doesn't matter... Mr. deGant wants to see you. Now. Get in your car and follow me."
