(The 1hr tracking was just a reminder for your next narrative post so Liavyre's favored terrain tracking will kick in)
Liavyre stands after concentrating on her Primeval Awareness and investigating the tracks.
"Well, you likely will be able to. There are**37** fiends in a 6 mile radius from here........from the tracks there are old Balgura tracks from several days ago. There's also a set of bone devil tracks, more than likely amongst the 37 I detected. After 1 hour in this...forest...I can tell the numbers, size, and age of tracks, so I can give more help at that time."
She pauses for a moment to allow everyone to take in the overwhelming numbers of fiends in the area.
"We definitely need to proceed with stealth and try to use the element of surprise if we have an unavoidable fight on our hands. With 37 of these things, we don't need to attract attention if we can. However, I definitely want to take as many as these fiends out as possible, too."
She awaits to see what everyone else thinks about all this.
"That is certainly a very worrying threat, it would be best to stay as clear of them as possible."
Fjorgin activates his Divine Sense to discover how many of those are nearby.

Fjorgin concentrates his divine senses. Fortunately for him, there doesn't appear to be any fiends within the nearby area. He does, however, feel that the desecration is more potent here. It may be contributed to the small pieces of hellrock around the area.
"If we wish to fight we should probably do so before we attempt to retrieve that mysterious item. I kinda feel like were not surrounded by that many enemy forces by chance, they might as well be guarding that thing. Once we have it we'll be better off running."
"None within 60 feet, no, but certainly beyond that. And the land is increasingly hostile."

Pip shakes his head. "No... I daren't go to such a place. Scout masters say that only if accompanied by a champion of one of the five faiths will grant passage." He looks to the dwarf and the aasimar. "Good thing we have two, eh?"
"I suppose so. Guess we should go together, then." Pip says.

Approaching the chapel, it seems to be in fairly decent shape. Its steeple seems to only be missing a few tiles and have kept a rich blue colour. The stone walls of the building are a faded white colour, and two large steel doors are shut at the entrance. Around the chapel, there is some grass, which seemingly is growing fine. The faint glow of the hellrock seems to be suppressed around the area of the chapel.
As the group gets closer, she notes that there is a circle of dead trees that seem to outline the area where the chapel is. Rather than a charred black, the trunks are a deep brown in colour. There appears to be some old carved sigils on the wood.

(Actually, under further checking, Religion would be suitable for the marks on the trees) Thea sees that the notation around the signs is very old. Older than the current works that would be seen around Allhaven. The marks do seem to have some sort of magic component to them. Counting the trees (stepping around the outskirts to check), there are 25 marks in total.
Fjorgin has a glance around the area. He notes that none of the windows on the chapel have broken, and there is even a bird's nest atop the steeple. It seems that the chapel's ground has been blessed and kept, even without a guardian like Solar Barrizhein.
"Everyone come and have a look at this. Someone's carved these signs into the trees around, and they appear to offer quite the solid protection against the evil corrupting these lands. Fjorgin and Ragmin, do you happen to know what that is? It could be incredibly usefull for us to learn more about these." Thea sounds quite hooked by her discovery, it would fit the scenery would she start cuting capers just now.

Thea also wants to try and copy the signs, first redrawing them into the dusty ground.

Liavyre remains on guard, "Once we have it, they'll no doubt be hunting us down as well. Fjorgin are there any fiends nearby?"

"I think its not a bad idea to scout the ways in and out first. Who knows what traps may await us in there."
Liavyre says, "It wouldn't surprise me at all if they attempted to thwart any potential invaders...traps sound likely."

For Thea:
As the group gets closer, she notes that there is a circle of dead trees that seem to outline the area where the chapel is. Rather than a charred black, the trunks are a deep brown in colour. There appears to be some old carved sigils on the wood.
"This is at least slightly comforting."
