methods and tools

[onwhatwingswedareaspire]

The gate opens in an small space. Through a doorway ahead is a mid-sized room, scattered with chairs. One wall, directly across from the doorway to the incoming gates area, is made of some clear material. On the other side of it is another room, with a metallic floor raised slightly above the first one's, with a half-dozen complex diagrams and space for many more.

The way into there appears to be through a decontamination room to the left. There is a door on the right into the rest of the base. Embedded in the wall to the left is the door to the outgoing gate area.

Both rooms are windowless and otherwise minimally decorated.

(Observant guests may note that the gravity is about a third of what they are used to.)

Warding

[onwhatwingswedareaspire]

On the other side of the decontamination shower is the diagrammed room, with a flexible up-ramp to it. (This will change to a steeper up-ramp and a down-ramp as wardings proceed.)

Lioncourt takes up a position outside the circle and waits.

Re: Warding

[scatteredstars]

Tyche arrives shortly, with a gruff man and an intensely focused woman.

The woman directs Lioncourt into one of the circles...

[calledtoventure]

Ahrotahn comes out of the decontamination area and climbs the ramp.

Re: Warding

[scatteredstars]

Tyche meets Ahrotahn, motions her into one of the circles, and casts the ward.

[aestrix]

Prism goes to the diagrammed room when her name on the list flashes, and stands where she is told. She is very careful to not disturb anything.

Re: Warding

[scatteredstars]

Then she will not disturb the salt circle, and get quickly warded by the gruff man, who seems to be grateful not to have any more problems to deal with.

Re: Warding

[poll_the_stars]

The quiet masked woman in black unpeels herself from an out of the way corner and heads to a circle when her name flashes. She does not look like she particularly wants to talk.

Re: Warding

[scatteredstars]

Luckily, the person warding her does not seem to be at all inclined to talk. She is gestured through, given plenty of room, warded, and then waved out.

Re: Warding

[hide_and_seek]

Kit is paying no attention to the flashing names, and only looks up from where she's drowsing on a chair when her name is called. She plods over to the warding room and does what people tell her.

Re: Warding

[scatteredstars]

Tyche smiles at her, and gets through the warding as quickly as ze can so that Kit can go sleep.

Re: Warding

[antiprojectionist]

A man with very purple hair steps up to the warding circle, and begins to tap his fingers against one of the sleeves of his labcoat.

Re: Warding

[scatteredstars]

A intent woman directs him into the spell and wards him.

Re: Warding

[mountains_themselves]

A certain god's name has flashed. Off he floats, to be warded. He is followed...

Re: Warding

[onthewind]

... By his acolyte! Her title ('Raezenoth's acolyte', which she finds funny) has also flashed.

Re: Warding

[vvvvvvibrant]

Viridian is idly flipping up and down in the waiting area, enjoying the low gravity.

Eventually the flashing names reach Viridian, and the crew starts toward the circle, single file.

Re: Warding

[scatteredstars]

The gruff man looks at the line, sighs, and irritably directs them and wards the two he gets. The others are likewise warded by the other two people doing wards.

Re: Warding

[kelardry]

Lantern sees their name flash and walks up the ramp.

Re: Warding

[scatteredstars]

Tyche indicates to Lantern where to stand, and performs the warding

Re: Warding

[ambrovimvor]

Anda and Linsa head over to the warding area.

Linsa smiles, "We decided that I should go first, if that's OK with you guys?"

Anda nods.

Re: Warding

[scatteredstars]

This results in a rather grumpy glance from the man; the intense woman puts a hand on his shoulder, and he sighs and gestures Linsa over to his circle. The woman takes Anda.

In close succession they are both warded.

The names Leaf, Cordelia, and Kobold flash on the screen. Miles indicates to the kobold that it's their turn, and proceeds through the decontamination room first.

Re: Warding

[lurkingkobold]

The kobold follows, making sure Cordelia is right behind her.

Re: Warding

[on_my_word]

The last two names on the board flash: Aral and Dotted Lines.

To the decontamination room they go.
