Aya scoured the shelves mercilessly, but to no avail. It seems that when this store was abandoned, the lotters thoroughly cleaned it out. Apparently, all that remained were a few empty bottles. Just as she was about to give up, however, she noticed a small bag, which appeared to be a little sewing kit. She had to wonder, however, if it would be worth it to bother bringing it with her, magical or not.
Looking around, Cuimacc saw a lot of dust, as would be expected from an old building such as this. The floor did, however, appear to have been sweeped fairly recently, which would indicate that the place was still being used for something. Looking up at the ceiling, he noticed that the rafters contained a few birds nests, all of which appearing abandoned, as well as a small hornets nest, another thing that was commonly found in abandoned buildings.
As Dhargun touched the doors, he noticed that while there was nothing unusual about the doors themselves, he could tell that the room inside practically radiated magic. In fact, he suspected that even those that could not normally manipulate the astral at all would be able to feel some of the energy inside. Nevertheless, he pushed the doors open.
As he did, a thousand sets of little, beady eyes turned towards the door. It seemed that this is where their tail had resided, as there were even more crows here than there were out on the road. They were everywhere -- on the floor, on tables, in the rafters, everywhere. In the back of the room he saw a small, cloaked person, kneeling in front of what appeared to be a stone alter, apparently praying.
