"Trayah, the spirits pointed you back to the Copse? Are we here to reawaken the great spirit that resides in this area?" replies Obscurity.

Trayah, Lacerta Shaman

“Yes, we’re here to waken Arylyra, and to do so we must enter the shrine under the hill and descend below. I was told Jamreh knows how to reach the outer chambers of the inner shrine, though we must continue past that point, and confront the dangers further in, to reach her,” Trayah confirms and warns.

“Yes, we might as well tell Jamreh of our intentions now, so he can make any preparations he needs... plus I need to tell him the great shaman won’t be returning. Though I think we’d better leave entering the shrine until at least the morning, perhaps longer if Lyssa requires it, so we may rest and regain our magics, as entering at less than full strength may not be wise,” Trayah states, before looking for Jamreh.
 

"Yes, rest is advisable. I'll check on the status of the periphery." says Obscurity. She disappears as she heads off to walk the edge of the grove invisible. She'll check for any weaknesses or changes.
 

*Obscurity, as usual in the Lyrithian Copse, sees no changes in the aura protecting it. If anything, her observations of the effectiveness of the substantially-weaker protective sphere created by the Shaman prove just how strong the Lyrithian Copse's protection is.*

*Meanwhile, Trayah tracks down Jamreh diagnosing some of the sickly in the shrine proper. The apprentice looks up when he hears Trayah approach, noticing all the others they have brought along.*

"These are among the villagers--have you brought them seeking sanctuary? That was rather fast."
 

Trayah, Lacerta Shaman

“Yes, these villagers require sanctuary Jamreh, and we have Lyssa to thank for our speedy return,” Trayah replies, gesturing towards Lyssa. “Though, I must sadly report that the Great Shaman will not be returning, as he was badly injured and had to sacrifice himself to protect the people and the burial grounds of the village he went to help, before we arrived. Becoming a spirit bound to his healing staff, he formed a protective sphere like that which Arylyra provides for the Lyrithian Copse, keeping out the darkness. He was concerned for your welfare though, and said that you could set us on the path to awakening Arylyra, by leading us to the outer chambers of the inner shrine under the hill.”

"Awakening Arylyra...a dangerous decision, but these are dire times...perhaps end times..."

"I can guide you to the inner shrine. Know this, though. The path to awakening Arylyra should be walked by the Shaman alone by the scriptures, or at most by the Shaman and another with whom the Shaman has a Lifebond...There are traps and tests placed there by the Shamans of elder years to prevent the more ambitious of their colleagues from awakening her in a vain attempt to bind her to their will and increase their personal power...Still, since none who have attempted it have ever survived or returned, perhaps it would be prudent, in this dire emergency, to break custom and bring in some guardians?"
