There were no overt signs of abandonment, but at the same time neither were they occupied presently. That fact made her annoyed. She had hoped to encounter any inhabitants at once, the better to assess the situation. Instead, she was faced with the prospect of settling in, only to have whoever lived here return. Nonetheless, her aching soreness was reason enough, in her mind, to risk it... And, if she were being honest with herself, the gut instinct that reminds her that, if the inhabitants return, some of them might have<em>cocks.</em><br/><br/>Still, safety first. She did not suspect an ambush, but there is no harm in using her new powers, just in case. Raising a hand, the warlock focused her mind.<em>A deer rushing from the path into the middle of the beach-side village.</em>The vision forms this into an illusion: a small, speckled hind dashes silently along the path and into the collection of huts. Should there be no response to the presence of the 'deer', Hectavia herself would follow.<br/><br/>Closer now to the village, the tiefling decided that it was worth making a proper inspection. Perhaps there was food or some other helpful thing. She moves slowly, feet trying to leave nothing behind and her body trying to remain inconspicuous.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">First, she's going to cast Minor Illusion to do the effect described above. <br/><br/>If there's no response to the illusion, she'll quietly enter the village and make an inspection of it:<br/>Stealth: 8<br/>Investigation: 18</div></div>
