"Yea, that's probably not a bad idea. Gimmie a sec." Alex reached into his pack around and pulled out a small roll of paper, holding up close to his face to make sure it was the right one.<br/><br/>Dan looked around, but there wasn't anything besides the tunnel, the arch, and the darkness.<br/><br/>Alex took a breath to steady himself, then began swishing the paper through the air in front of him in a deliberate pattern, letting it unroll and trail behind his hand like a ribbon while he murmured some unintelligible words. After a few seconds, a design on the paper flashed weakly and then continued to glimmer slightly after. A thin ribbon of blue light sprung into existence around Alex's head, and a brighter spot of light began tracking around it's circumference.<br/><br/>He concentrated silently for a few seconds, frowning. "Dammit, nothing." The blue light faded as the strip of paper disintegrated into sparks and ash. "I didn't hear the coin at all, so that definitely sounds like some kind of magic. Illusion maybe? But I'm not detecting anything, and I haven't heard of anyone who's able to hide a<em>spell</em>..."<br/><br/>He sighed. "Your right though. We don't have another way out." Alex walked forward and grabbed the edge of the arch. Grab my hand. I'll pull you back through if you fall."
