The other adventurers looked surprised for a moment, then the human man replied after a moment. "Yeah...a friend of ours, Invira, has been in our company for a year now. She's a wizard, and a pretty good one, gone through the barrier a dozen times before. Well, this last trip we decided to go toward the region controlled by demons to rescue a missing group. Well, at night she got jumped while using the privy, don't know what by. They made off with her. We ended up rescuing her along with the others, but...you know how they treat women. But the thing is, when we reached the Barrier, the rest of us could go through, including the other captives, but she couldn't! We questioned her...afraid she might be a doppleganger or succubus, but she knew everything, and could cast her spells just fine. We decided to leave a few friends with her and go looking for a more powerful wizard to try to examine her, or get a sage to tell us what might be wrong."
