Round 8

As Silra delicately probed the ash-choked ground with her dagger, she detected faint signs of recent excavation near the church entrance, suggesting hidden entrances or recently disturbed soil. Her keen senses picked up on subtle vibrations in the air, hinting at the presence of something moving beneath the streets. The stormy weather cast long shadows across the facade, making it difficult to discern any further details.

Jeane's eyes gleamed with a mixture of caution and curiosity as she cast Detect Magic, her spell illuminating the surrounding area with a soft blue glow. The magic revealed three distinct signatures: a fresh ward against undead near the entrance, an inverted consecration signature near the bell tower, and old suppressed malevolence around the main door. The cleric's gaze swept across the stone facade, mapping the complex residual energies that pulsed with a faint hum.

Sister Hale moved cautiously forward, her defensive crouch a testament to her wariness of the unknown dangers lurking within the church. As she drew closer to the entrance, the dark magic residue grew thicker, prickling her skin and warning her of the potential threats that lay ahead.
