As she activated her lesser magical sensor, simply to determine the nature of those runes, Kass made sure to note the rest of the location and of Rana.  Most notably was the location, for it was clearly wooden, but as if she was encased in something human shaped... and it dawned on her that it all reminded her of the druidic effigies from the more violently natured druidic tribes... which were often burned and occasionally with<em>someone</em>inside to burn as well... that did<em>not</em>bode well for Rana's position.  As for Rana herself; she was clearly drugged, delirious and easily distracted, not fighting or bothered in the slightest.  This really didn't look good, because if she was enclosed in an effigy and drugged... well, they'd have to get to the burning soon, or else she'd come to her senses, unless they had some other way of drugging her again through the cage.<br/><br/>Bugs and sand... yes, clearly outside, and judging by the bugs walking it couldn't be too high up... perhaps a story at most?  Kass wasn't sure, but she was in the desert and up in the air some ways regardless.  As her spell ran out, she went to inform Aria naturally, as she was her partner of course.  After receiving the staff and storing it in her new haversack, the other woman's gear still unidentified except for the rather obvious haversack, she let out a bemused laugh at the mention of her 'musi-magic,' but such laughter was short lived, for Aria too was a bit bothered by the effigy Rana was likely part of at the moment, but yes, at least she was still in good shape... for now.  Kass also mentioned that she could slow the fall with her  own magics, so flying was perhaps unnecessary, but certainly an option.<br/><br/>Talking to the girls, after locating them easily enough of course, it seemed none knew about what the wicker structure was, which was certainly too bad for if they did know then things might have been just a bit easier in figuring out the 'where' and the 'why' and the 'is she really in as much danger as I think she is?' questions.  Questioning everyone would take a while, as would scouring the books... hm... but Aria had a point about flying high into the sky... what to do what to do... she could always use that staff with the teleportation spell... but she wasn't sure just yet...<br/><br/>"Hm... girls, arrange for someone to guard the prisoner, and have someone contact me should she awaken via sending." Kass finally said after some contemplation "Aria, your last idea is a quick one; fly up and do a search for this effigy.  It may not work, but it's certainly worth a shot.  Then it's either ask everyone in town and temple or check the library... but we can also use the staff from the succubi we slew as well to teleport straight to her, I think.  Give me your opinion after you finish your search, if you would please; we are a team, after all dear."<br/><br/>Was kind of tired while writing this, so sorry if it's not quite the same quality as it usually is >.<  I would like to use the Detect Magic (which I noted briefly), she took the Runestaff already, and she's essentially asking the tactician (Aria) what she thinks would be the best course of action.  Again, sorry if the quality is lacking; I'll edit it after I've rested, if you'd like
