Round 2

As Jeane cast her Protection from Evil and Good spell, a faint glow emanated from the lantern, illuminating the dark recesses of the church entrance. The air was heavy with the scent of damp earth and decay, but beneath it, a subtle hum of unseen energy resonated, like the quiet buzzing of a harp string. Silra stood beside her, their defenses bolstered by the ward as they surveyed their surroundings. "We need layered security," Jeane's voice cut through the tension, cool and precise. She enhanced their resilience with this ward, which would last for a time.

Sister Hale raised her unholy symbol, murmuring an incantation, as she cast Detect Magic centered on the church's main door and extending 20 feet outwards. The air seemed to vibrate with anticipation as she searched for any active spells or lingering magical traces that might pose a threat. "Let this light reveal what shadows hide," her voice was steady and calm. With a soft glow, the spell illuminated the area, casting an eerie light on the twisted roots of dead trees and the broken windows of the nave.
