Jubilee waves her fingers with a kind yet sharp smile as a plume of blue fire flares up around her. When the embers disappear into the air, so too does she.
>Ask Lorelei if she knows any occult prayers to say to the stone."Hmm... I knoweth not what deity or spirit this stone is shrine to, and t'would be a foul idea to offer prayer to the wrong one. Though perhaps a general prayer could work..."
Lorelei flips through a few pages of her grimoire, soon settling on one and closing her eyes. She mutters in tongues, a low melody spoken to a unseen congregation. One hand raised with the middle finger held by the thumb and the prayer finished with an incomprehensible closing word. You aren't sure if it did much of anything, but for better or worse it feels like something greater has its eyes on you...
>Look all around the stone and the pond.The pond gently ripples in whisps of shadow as you take to your investigation. Standing at the edge the waters seem bottomless, what little light there is being completely absorbed by the surface and making it seem like more like a yawning pit than a pond. A small patch of grass between it and the standing stone seems flattened. Whether something once sat there for a long time, or something is often moved to sit at that spot, you can't tell.
Turning your attention to the stone itself it looks like it was once immaculately hewn, but time and the elements have worn away the sharp corners and given way to cracks along the surface. It's cool and smooth to the touch, smelling faintly of floral scented smoke, though you decide it's best not to see what it tastes like. Peering through the hole with your back to the pond you see only the dense and dark tree line, but looking through the other side...
A faint and foggy image of a large building's facade appears before your eyes. You check around the side of the stone again, but nothing seems out of the ordinary. It only appears when you look through the stone. Upon your second viewing a figure has appeared in front of the building, their silhouette giving them the appearance of a bush wrapped in robes. The figure freezes as your eyes fall on them then slowly turns towards you. It knows you can see it, and now you know it can see you.
>Back away from the standing stone. You should get away from this place as soon as possible.>Wave through the hole. Nothing in this forest has been friendly so far, but maybe this one will be?>Ask your companions if they can see the image too. Just to make sure you aren't going nuts.>Write-in
