Valenar does not notice anything wrong with his compass at first, and then it seems to spin on end for a moment before returning to normal. It starts up again after a few moments, and then goes back to normal. Seems something is sporadically influencing it. Though he stares down the path, and looks around elsewhere to see nothing really past the normal haze. He sees further then the rest of the group though, he and Vashti's gaze reaches the furthest due to their low light vision. The trail continues to head downward, just zigzagging and he notices what looks like maybe a hill pass ahead.<br/><br/>Though that's when Terra casts her spell, and the magic flares to life before her very eyes. It shines heavily, a strong and nearly overpowering aura that causes her eyes to squint. She notices it weaves throughout the entire canyon, and then sweeps backwards seeming to lead like spider strands along certain areas of the entire plane. It seems to her like the web weaving of the spell, something that connects all the portals together; though this one has clearly been shut down. She also notices then that these aren't gates so much as they are actually portals. Conjured magic, as close to high magic as one would see these days.<br/><br/>Magus gets a nice surprise in his search though, for the mere radiation of the abyss holds with it the power of all the creatures therine. The very energy seems to have seeped into this part of the demiplane, and it burns his eyes as he activates his innate ability to sense evil. It flares to life around him in horrific images of red, scorching his eyes and stunning him from the sheer evil contained within it. Such things not even a paladin should ever stare into directly.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">GM Notes</div><div class="spoiler_body">First of all, the spell weaves are gonna be hard to trace. Terra knows this without thinking about it. Roll a spellcraft check to see if she can fully understand it. As for Magus, he is stunned for one round from an overwhelming aura. The sheer evil of the abyss, even diluted to it's mere influence, is not something any mortal should ever see. So he definitely knows that Terra's claim has significant merit.</div></div>
