Moreen does not initially respond to the proposition, but seems intent on studying the stone "altar" as she sees it. She closes her eyes, her lips moving in silent prayer. When she finally speaks, she says "I'd rather stay while we investigate this, my feelings are that there is something very unholy about this. At the risk of sounding arrogant, you may need my help"

Joshua touches his hand to the stone...

[sblock=Joshua]
You touch the stone, and initially feel nothing. Gradually, a sense of unease overtakes you. The rest of the world seems to quiet down. You can feel the stone pulling, tugging at your very being - your life force.

You are disoriented for a moment. You sense that the stone is connected to other stones. Two are close - very close - in fact, you feel sure they must be in the buildings nearby. The others are far distant. You sense that the closest stone is connected to another person, someone in great pain.

The stone is drawing, sucking at you, and you pull back.

... and releases it a moment later.

You can tell that the stone is some kind of unholy artifact - it seems to resonate with necrotic power, although you can't tell exactly what it does, or how it works.

Rellek followed Karis to the next barn. Aware that some evil necrotic power was at work, he pondered to what end the blight served its master's dark purpose.

Once again as they neared the barn, he withdrew his Battleaxes silently ready for any danger that might come upon them.
 


Joshua looks over to Moreen and Todarr, his face contorted with disgust and not a little pain. "Can you feel that? It is as if there is some kind of circuit, some number of these stones tied together in a...web of sorts. And it feels like there is great pain - someone in great pain, attached to it all, to this stone in particular."

"The question now is, should we just destroy this stone - and any others that we find - or should we find this person in pain first? I am wondering whether just destroying the stone will harm the person?"
 

[sblock=Karis & Rellek]
As you approach the other barn, the hum becomes noticeably louder. The windows here are bordered up as well, and the barn door is shut.


You manage to peek under the barn door - you can see that there is a stone in the same place as the other barn, and you can just make out two sets of feet in front of it. As far as you can tell, you have not been detected by whomever is inside.

Gesturing to Karis, Rellek calls her away to whisper away from the door.

Friend Karis, do you think it would be prudent to call the others?
 

Friend Karis, do you think it would be prudent to call the others?

Karis nods. She crouches and begins to draw in the dirt: a square with two dots inside it and two dots outside it. She points to herself, then traces a line from one of the outside dots to the opposite side of the square. She then points to Rellek, and draws a line from the other outside dot away into the distance, then claws her fingers and draws four parallel lines approaching the front of the building. She looks to Rellek, eyebrows raised in question.

ooc: Hopefully I'm not being too obscure here. :)
