Kasbis moves forward to the southwest toward the purplish light, moving very cautiously. He investigates where it is coming from, tries to sort out why it is here and what is causing it. (Moved token).

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
There in the middle of the purple light there is a half buried stone slab black as night with carvings of varying monsters and the largest one seems to be a monsters with a ferocious jaw and rows of teeth.
As you look upon the slab Kasbis feels the darkness within looking back. Perhaps a miner disturbed it in some way.
It is merely a legend by this time, but the story goes that a millennium ago the forces of a Shalaster surged to the surface causing chaos and death. Elestine would not sit back and blessed mortals with her light. They were called the Luminari. These champions fought back the horde of evil and for the most dangerous monsters the Luminari sealed away into sanctified stones. Where these stone slabs were hidden is lost to time. The Luminari paid in blood and their lives to end such an evil. None of Luminari is believed to have survived.
There is a old prayer to Elestine to seal such evil that is still taught at the temples. A devout follower of Elestine would need to draw a circle with holy water and say this prayer. The devout would need to kneel in the circle as they pray. If the devout does not have holy water silver will also do. During this prayer the devout cannot be disturbed or it will fail.
Aisha puts the bottle of oil down and explains it to Kasbis and Duncan. "I can say the prayer, but we'll need silver to make the circle. I'll need to be undisturbed for the entire prayer. Will you help me form the circle and watch over me during the prayer?"
Kasbis plants both feet shoulder width apart, crossing his arms. “Absolutely. We have your back.” Kasbis opens his pouch, pulls out 22 silver pieces, looking up and says “Will this do?”

Aisha looks at Kasbis' silver, "That will work." As she starts putting the silver in a circle she says to Duncan, "It's an old prayer to Elestine to seal evil like the evil in this slab. I learned it in the temples. I will need to kneel in the circle as I pray, keep in mind that during the prayer I cannot be disturbed or it will fail. I don't know how the area will react so I'll need your help in case something tries to stop me."
Kasbis ritually casts unseen servant and directs it to hang around awaiting his orders. He says to Aisha, “I could cast identify on the slab for more information, or are you really sure about what to do?”

Aisha pulls out one of her bottles of oil and prepares to light it and throw it into the circle, watching Kasbis for any sign of it being a bad idea.

Kasbis draws a blank but he knows this is magical and evil to boot.
“Should we destroy it?” Duncan asks, the hopefully recovering miner over his shoulder.

(Yes that is enough silver)
“What will this prayer do? What is this stone?” Duncan says as he places the unconscious miner on the ground and pulls out his weapon to keep guard.

Aisha starts to nod then pauses, "Isn't that the spell that requires you to touch an object while you cast it? I don't know that it's worth the risk."
Will Kasbis cast identify or not?
