Well, that had proved fruitless... so that meant the<em>only</em>thing she could do is try and attune to the manse, go down to the Hearthstone room (OOC: or whatever it's called) and venture forth through the Essence.  Bringing her Mortal allies with her, she told them to wait at the edge, where it was safe, and would make her way forth.  Something told her it wasn't about to be easy, but with her allies watching her - since it appeared things were static when observed - it might just make things easier...<br/><br/>(PLEASE don't make me blow up >.<)
