Getting everyone through the thick trees to reach the clearing was interesting, and took some time. Thankfully, the worst that happened in that was loose clothes getting caught on trees, trouble finding footing on uneven ground, and similar things.
Once the group reached the clearing itself, they could all see the various black buildings, just like before, though many of these were mostly intact rather than in pieces. Though most weren't in the best of shape, they definitely weren't all falling to pieces. There were probably a good twenty or so of the buildings, arranged about how one would expect if there were streets or roads in between...though the ground was simply dirt and grass.
There were countless figures around, moving from place to place or simply looking like they were going about their daily business. All looked to be roughly human, though all of them were a light blue colour and could be easily seen through. It was also noticeable that none of them seemed to have feet or be touching the ground...they 'bodies' just disappearing as they got closer to the ground, making it looks like they floated around instead of walked.
And, even with the group out in the open, none of them seemed to take any notice. A few looked straight at you, but didn't really seem to be looking at you directly, as they would soon go on about whatever business they had. The ones that were talking were talking in a somewhat-hushed language that didn't sound like anything but gibberish.
