Draiss set all the units in the portal room to stand bye, before dispatching two avatars to deal with the problem, as well as to try and backtrack the spell to the source. He made a quick check of Brindol, and then the smaller villages where he had only one or two clerics, or even just a shrine, making sure that they were unaffected by the spell. The villages that were effected got a large area dispel magic, enough to get rid of the spell, while Brindol, if it was being enspelled, would get four avatars to deal with it, and to try and back track as well.
