<div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/a/a6/Neeral.jpg)<br/>Neeral (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=1428855)</div>Neeral kept her eyes firmly on the tower and the building next to it as she advanced, then spun around when she heard Kiva's voice. "Not again!" she yapped. "Three of you? Uh, what can I..." She gritted her teeth and ran towards the tower, thinking that if she couldn't stop her friends from walking ahead, she could try to intercept them before they reached the tower itself.<br/><br/>Luckily, the others were able to rouse them from their trance. Neeral breathed a sigh of relief and ran to Tamari's side. "Are you alright, Tamari?" she asked, panting. "Who knows what could happen if you stumbled into that tower without me?"<br/><br/>Neeral peered cautiously into the building adjoining the tower. She snarled at the scent and held a cloth over her nose. "Oh, that's not good. What did these creatures all die of? Did they get stuck in here and starve?" She turned to Tamari and Vannalys. "Either of you got any magic for detecting poison in the air?"<br/><br/>Meanwhile, she crouched down on her knees, her tail sweeping up into the air behind her. She examined the dirt in front of the building , then crawled forward slowly, checking the loose earth and the interior walls of the building for any signs of a trap. "If anyone tries to walk past me, they're under the tower's control. Spank them."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Now that we're in an area where there's evidence of deadly magic or traps, Neeral is going to take several minutes to investigate for traps or other oddities. Her Perception is +7 for finding traps (+6 for other purposes), so taking 20 gives 27 for finding traps.<br/></div></div>
