"Long-dead frozen soldiers" Diego replies "and weapons. Looks like they killed each other, two came in and fought the rest. Spooky, but as far as I can tell it's safe for now. Come on down."
 

"Good job, Diego," says Cade as he nods to Meri. "I'll bring up the rear, folks, so head on down after Meri."

While the others are going down the line, Cade will keep an eye on the surrounding area and, once it is his turn to go down the line, he will lower down the equipment, including the cutting torch, and then pull the cover back in place behind him, so as to cover their entrance.
 

Meri nods and heads down the shaft, holding the rope with both hands and bracing against the shaft wall with her feet and back. She's careful, but not overly slow, and quickly arrives at the bottom with Diego.

She wrinkles her nose at the carnage.

"Pretty nasty...which two are the ones that came in and started shooting, do you think? Maybe there's something different about them."

[sblock]As Larry and Diego settle into the base, they feel something odd. Something that they can only detect because of the increased awareness their psychic training has given them. Almost as if there's another conscious present in the room with them. It seems to press at the mind constantly, but cannot be located.

OOC: Using any psionic power now requires a DC 15 concentration check.[/sblock]

Shayuri
[sblock]Meredith feels something tugging at her very being. There's something buried in the base, something that wants to be found. It doesn't feel malevolent, however.[/sblock]

[sblock]Nick feels something off about the magical ethers in this place. They seem stronger, and more easily accesible. Something is odd here, something powerful has permeated the very atmosphere and charged it with power.

OOC: All spells cast within the base will be maximized, and have their durations, if any, doubled.[/sblock]

Friadoc
[sblock]Cade notices that his electronic gear doesn't seem to be functioning as well in the base as it did outside. The flashlight beams are slightly dimmer, and the batteries are draining faster than normal. The monitor on the PDA isn't as bright, and it seems to take longer to perform basic functions.[/sblock]
 

"Wait a minute" Diego says. "I feel something ... strange. Almost like there's a ghost here or something. Anyone else notice it or am I just going crazy?"
 

"You're not crazy," Meredith says, one hand going automatically to the hilt of the sword across her back.

"It doesn't feel -evil- but there's definitely a presence here. Like it's been...waiting."

"It's powerful," Nick says as he looks over the scene. He moves his fingers as if he's trying to feel the air, absorb it. "Maybe a bit unstable."
 

"Whatever..." Cade starts to say, but then he pauses and adds, "...or whomever it is, it's effect electronics and the weaker magnetic force. Switch to chem lights and power down what electronics you can."
