Saarebas will draw a symbol as best as he can in the dirt.
"I remember one of the skeletons had a ring; did someone pick that up?"
//OOC: IDK if there is a roll for drawing this symbol/is Saarebas would remember it well enough to draw it//
OOC: How about a performance roll? Cuz it sounds reasonable!

Performance: 11
Saarebas: You manage to draw a word in deep speech you remember and Vera's eyes go wide! "I've never had a reason to use it but that," Vera says with dread in her tone, "is deep speech," she explains. "That's basically a blasphemy to deactivate a protection ward," she explains next then sighs. "It's started," she then says. "Even in this chaos I hoped I was wrong," she adds pushing her hands back through her gray flecked hair and then looks to Brida. "You can't go back there on your own," she adds looking around the farm now as if trying to formulate a plan but doesn't add anything else. "None of you," she adds next looking over the party before letting out a deep sigh.

"What do you mean we can't go back there. We have to go back there and stop whatever it is that they are doing."
"I meant just the five of you," Vera explains to Saarebas. "We need to make sure you have help," she adds curtly.

Andúlra steps closer to Aunt Vera,”How many stones were protecting it?” “Is there a way to find out how many are missing?”
Andulra: "The myths say three keystones," Vera replies. "Please come with me," she then adds motioning for the party to follow her into the farm house.
Erevan/OOC: sorry man but I'm a stickler for ritual type spells needing components. Look/ask around maybe someone could help?

OOC: I’m druid can I help Erevan?
OOC: That's fine. You asked earlier if anyone has ID, and I figured you knew there was just no way I'd have had access to a pearl at this stage. Just trying to get this puzzle solved. Skill checks and roleplaying weren't getting it done.
Andúlra follows Vera into the farm house.
Darik also follows Vera to her farm house.
Felix Windfall(Human-V Lv.7 Rogue) killed in ToA, Vallan Houndstrider (Halfling Ghostwise Lv.1 Fighter) in DiAOOC: Sorry busy day guys. I'll address everything ASAP.

OOC: Sorry y'all trying to reach the site last night I kept getting the forbidden error with a beholder?! Weirdness!!
As you follow Vera and Brida into their home you notice Vera goes straight to the kitchens. She stands near a bare part of the cluttered kitchen floor and after some muttering Vera's hand ignites which burns like a torch then a door appears in the floor. All of you are surprised by this but Brida looks in awe of her aunt. Vera then gestures and opens the door without touching it!
"Mind your heads," Vera calls out to the majority of you before moving down the tone steps ahead of the group.
They party enters as follows: Brida, Aldaryn, Andulra, Erevan, Darik, and Saarebas followed by two 'handmaidens' of Vera's who close the trap door that instantly blends into the ceiling above!
The room is well light from torches you see magically ignite once Vera steps on the earth beaten floor. The room is as big as the kitchen above and just as cluttered with items. Herbs and flowers hang from the ceiling to dry and a cauldron comes to life with a wave of Vera's hand that's since gone cold if it's previous flame! It's a heady and strongly spiritual space, even the non-magic folk feel it. Symbols abound but most of all a presences of some kind fills the room!
Checks?

Saarebas is a little on edge by feeling the magic surrounding him. He is not used to feeling magic unless it is being directly applied to him. He is going to nervously glance around the place; checking it out and looking for anything that seems unusual.
Perception: 13
Erevan looks through the room with interest. Investigation: 21 Arcana: 20
"Brida, I take it you didn't know this was here?"
Darik impressed that they hid this area from the church. He looks around seeing if anything looks familiar to him.
Investigation: 2
Felix Windfall(Human-V Lv.7 Rogue) killed in ToA, Vallan Houndstrider (Halfling Ghostwise Lv.1 Fighter) in DiASaarebas: The room is very foreign to you but you pick up different dried plants, bones of animals, and objects of value in the forms of precious metals and gems surrounding your party on various shelves from floor to ceiling. What stands out of your most is the aquatic corals and skeletal animals you recognize from your sailing days, which is odd seeing that Carrowkeel is hundreds of miles from the sea.
Erevan: "This is my aunt's and mother's special place," Brida explains to you in a hushed nostalgic tone. "I haven't been down here since I started my training...at the temple," she added looking at her boots as she replied.You notice spell components and various objects of value, pearls and feathers jump out at you most. The whole space is imbued with natural magics as well as a heavy, ominous feeling of protection from a deity you are not exactly familiar.
Darik: The room is cluttered with books, jars of weird things, and is cramped from your tall frame you don't care much for being underground.
OOC: I'll be unable to check up until later tonight if at all guys, please bear with me! Ask Vera anything.
