Randy, Ulmwin and Ily set forth, Tess eventually loosing contact with his senses as they approach the door. Randy tentatively reaches out, and lifting the knocker, raps it against the door...

... ask the knock sounds, it is as if the sound itself takes on physical form, as a silvery bubble of something grows rapidly out from the knocker, passing over and enshrouding Randy, Ulmwin and Ily, extending outward from the door before retracting, leaving bare sand and the unchanged door... but no ranger, bard, or familiar.

((Can Nem still see the tower? It's just the three people who've vanished?))

Tess and the others see the human, gnome, and ferret get swallowed by the bubble.

Maji looks at them as it happened. That bubble that formed around them and made them dissappear. He looks at Coljin and Dorkial to see if they saw the same thing, looking worried. His instints tell him to run far far away from this place. But, he can't leave Randy in there and Ulmwin too he supposes. Randy saved him just yesterday, he can't turn back on him now.

He points to Coljin and Dorkinal and points to the ground. He clutches his staff and tuns twoards the tower.

"Yes, we should go. But we need to tell Szartha what we are doing, hold on a moment."

Coljin does just that. Informing Szartha and everyone at the wagons what just happened and that they are following to assist and get them back.
Whoever from the party is still at the wagons, he looks to see if they are following, too.
"Szartha this may take a while, how long do you plan on waiting for us or where will we meet you if you do end up having to leave before we emerge?"

Nem sees the others start to approach and moves back to them.

"Wait a bit. Ily is in there with them and I can recall him whenever I need to. If he's killed, I have enough incense to bring him back one more time. But let's wait a few minutes and then see what he has to say for himself. They might be just fine."

She says the last part somewhat uncertainly.

What did Ulmwin do to deserve such coldness :weep:

((Ulmwin reminds Maji too much of Holger as they are both performers? :P ))

I assume Holger will see the same magic auras as Ulmwin mentioned when he get over to the door?

"Conjuration magic.. Might just teleport you inside the tower so we could just follow them in?"

Nothing really. He doesn't hate Ulmwin but he doesn't like him either.

The party convenes some distance from the tower, and decide to leave Randy and Ulmwin to their fate for now.

Szartha looks concerned, "How long? Well, if you're going into a strange tower... that appeared from no where, might I add... and if that tower doesn't just vanish again, we couldn't wait here longer than we've got food and water for, the next well is only a few hours east though. You think you'll be gone days?"

((Is Holger approaching within the range of detect magic? If you're still conferring with the rest closer to the wagons, you'd not be able to pick that up yet.))

"Well, I hope not days!" Coljin states, "but if that does happen I'm certain it would be some special story!"
"But yeah, How about you wait here for 4 hours, and then if we don't come out, head to the next well. Could we ask you to wait at the well for 2 days for us without giving up on us?"

"Ah... yes. I'm a bit loathe to push on through the rest of the crossing under strength, so it's certainly in all of our interests to be able to finish the trip together, a couple of days now, if need be, is better than trying to save that time and running into something I'd rather not. How many of you are going?"

"Let's wait an hour and then see what Ily has to report, if they haven't returned. Randy and Ulmwin will just have to survive until then."

"Well, I'm not certain, but I think all of our original group. Don't think any of us are willing to just let Randy and Ulmwin to whatever fate is going on inside. Hopefully it will be nothing, but I cannot abandon them. Any who do not go in the tower will head back for you. And if we do get inside and I can send some sort of message to you about what is going on, I will. Now it does look like we are going to give those two one hour and see if they re-appear. If not, then we go in."

"Alright... So sounds like we will be camping near here for the day? Unless you wrap things up quickly once you go in?"

Coljin nods. "Yes, and thanks for understanding."

Holger will go close to the door and check it out for himself and go back and mention it to the others unless something happens at the tower.

Holger checks out to tower, noting the conjuration and illusion magic on the door and placard respectively.

The placard reads:
Quit faffing about,
I don't have all night.

Maji continues running to the tower, not wanting his friend (and Ulmwin) to be trapped in a strange tower, not really heeding the others.

Dornikal stands by Szartha as he and Coljin discuss the issue,

"Aye should probably stay here an' guard the wagons. Aye'd like to help Randy but aye belong here."

He waits with the others in the meantime.

Maji ignores the call to wait, arriving shortly at the tower, and seeing the same placard as Holger did.

Holger will look up the tower staring towards the top critically.

"What's the incentive beyond being mysterious and my two companions throwing away all caution?"

((You talking to Maji, musing aloud, or is this after you return to where the others are waiting?))

Maji looks at the door, wondering what happened. He tries to open it.
