Aaryn has time to determine that the circle forms part of a warding ritual, designed in this case to keep something in rather than out. The words "Ordo Septinarius" mean nothing to anyone, other than the evident fact that it refers to an "Order of Seven", whatever that may be.
But before any further exploration can occur, the darkness insidet he circle seems to flow together and coalesce into a roughly man-shaped figure, except 8 ft. tall with wings and claws, and no face. Its skin is night-black and shiny, and seems to shift as if other things are writhing around beneath it. The aura of wrongness about it is almost palpable.
"Leave This Place!" it intones in a sepulchral voice.

Fearsome Presence attack on all present, succeeds against Aaryn, Gorim and Kildrak but fails against Garold.
Aaryn, Gorim and Kildrak are currently at -2 to attacks and defences (save ends), and also gain 1 insanity point. More on these later. This is a Fear effect, so let me know if any of you have defences against such things and I'll recalculate.
