Seraphina looks at Cybele wide-eyed as she slowly resheathes her sword. "How did you... did you? I mean, that was you, wasn't it? How'd you make that happen?"
She looks to esquire and back to the Cybele and slowly shakes her head, "I mean, I'm glad. I feel bad for the bloke, getting transformed it seems and not being able to see intruders and the like? I sure hope we can get to the bottom of this."
Cybele gives a proud smile at Seraphina. Thoroughly enjoying the praise and surprise. "I think we should take a quick look at the runes. It might be important, we should try and figure out as much as we can as we continue. I get the feeling our opponent is very powerful and dangerous." Cybele goes and quickly looks over the ruins.

Seraphina looks over at the runes now that Cybele pointed them out and squats down. "Hmm.. I don't know. I am not typically good at this sort of thing."
"Well, there is someone behind this door, though they don't sound too threatening. You two figure out anything with those runes or should we move on? I think the thing we need is beyond this door." Seraphina looks back to her friends as they check out the circle.
"These runes are for some kind of divination magic - perhaps this is connected to the attempt to conjure an otherworldly being not meant to exist in this world that Elra Lionheart's ghostly head mentioned?" he says after examining the runes on the floor.
The druid then joins Seraphina at the door and consults the map. "I think you're right...this is where the star-map should be..."
Cybele stairs curiously at the runes, and listens thoughtfully as Meiki. Then, with a finger tapping on her chin she curiously steps into the runes while Meiki and Seraphina make their way towards the door.
Once Cybele stands fully inside the circle, she feels the unsettling presence of a Far Realm entity in her mind, like a thousand tiny flies buzzing and crawling around her head. She can also sense a question in the buzzing - "Will you receive our omen?"
"Uhh, yeah sure, I guess?" She answers out loud, almost like a question. Looking and spinning around in response to the buzzing encompassing her brain. "I like omens, I'll take an omen, thank you."
Cybele sees flashing images behind her eyes, images of danger but also great reward...a ghostly figure, undead creatures, cloaked acolytes, magical treasures, piles of gold coins, a figure in metal armor with a slug-like head, a leather-bound book stuffed with parchments and notes...
After the images cease Cybele looks around once again and gives a small awkward wave to the empty air, not sure what to make of the images. "Um, thank you? For that....great omen. I hope you have a nice day!" She bids her goodbye and runs to catch up with her friends.
Seraphina stares at her friend, open mouthed. "Are you... are you ok? What happened in the circle? Do you need to sit down or anything? I mean, who were talking to?"
"Yeah, I turned to head over to Sera and thought you were right behind me! Next thing I know I hear you talking to the air and STANDING INSIDE THE CREEPY CIRCLE OF MAGIC RUNES! Are you OK? Are you gonna transform into a hooked horror like the butler? Did you lose concentration on the spell it's under?!!" Meiki exclaims.
Cybele looks more bewildered at the onslaught of question from the other two than she did in the circle talking to disembodied voices; she sputters and answers, "I am perfectly fine, my friends! I was just curious to see what would happen. I stepped in and nothing too crazy happened... Just heard some voices who asked me if I wanted an omen. Naturally, I said yes, and then I saw lots of dangerous and scary-looking people and creatures, but also lots of gold and potential knowledge! Kind of ominous if you ask me!" She gives a pat both to Meiki and Seraphina's shoulders and walks over to the door they had been investigating.
"We probably should hurry on though, in case the butler thinks better..." She says confidently, as if she hadn't just been the one delaying the group. "Should we knock first?"
"You sure you're alright? That does sound ominous and maybe next time, lets not jump into the creepy circle of magic runes? Something much worse could have happened to you. I mean, what if that was what the butler did?"
"Nah, let's get moving"and Seraphina opens the door.
The walls and floor of this 25' x 25' room are covered with star maps. The ghost of an elf researcher wanders the room, looking through the maps and searching for an answer the ghost will probably never find. You can hear spectral humming coming from the ghost, which ignores you.
Seraphina looks at Cybele wide-eyed as she slowly resheathes her sword. "How did you... did you? I mean, that was you, wasn't it? How'd you make that happen?"

"Yeah - he was a real horror! Let's keep moving, unless we want to check out those glowing runes on the floor that Esquire was standing in?..."

These are magic runes of some sort...(Arcana check or Detect Magic to discover more. Or just step inside the circle to see what happens =)

And... completely stumped, she walks over to the West door and presses her ear against it, listening

Seraphina can hear someone softly humming a light tune, but nothing else.
