After packing up camp and heading up, they reach their destination only an hour north.

The tomb is just a little off the road, a massive door with intricate carvings around the frame in an unknown script. The characters in the script are made up entirely by straight lines. Given that straight lines lend themselves well to carving, it may indicate that whoever created this script was used to carving in stone. The door looks like it will open, as the hinges are intact, but it's ridiculously heavy and will need a lot of people to pull on those big carved handles.

Heave ho?

NOW THAT YOU'RE TRAPPED...

[paradisamods]

The first thing they'll notice is that this place is weird.

There's an almost energized feeling to it, from the moment they enter the door. Anyone with powers or biological enhancements will feel those powers again... but still be unable to use them. It's like a stirring deep in one's belly, like there's the potential to use those powers, but no way to access them. Technology will flicker and come and go, like a car trying to start on an almost-dead battery. Good thing they have those crystals there to keep them going full-time.

But past that, look at where they are! It's just an open chamber with minimal decoration -- a few pillars, a few decorative busts, all collecting dust. The chamber leads to a tunnel, which is very tall and has a very high ceiling. This tunnel will go on a long way, passing through other chambers, some of them with underground streams running below the path. There are a few bridges -- old, stone, seemingly very sturdy, all of which match the bridges they'd been crossing outside. Good, right?

[Most would be concerned about being trapped in a ruin and trying to figure out where they are. But instead it looks like Allen stops to rub his head with his hand, as if he just received a migraine. Not only that, but there may have been a not so quiet growl from his stomach]

What...?

[teds-up.livejournal.com]

[An impressed whistle leaves Ted. He's not too spooked out yet (more awed than anything), but then he sees Allen's discomforted movements.]

Guess a place like this would be killer on your allergies, huh? You okay?

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

Are you all right, Allen?

_{[The last thing they need is someone being sick and not really having a good count of what supplies made it in with them.]}

[cricketycricket.livejournal.com]

Allen! [Five frowns, moving to his side] Are you alright?

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

[What happened to her magic? She frowns, shaking her hands, as if that would somehow bring her powers back.]

My magic... is anyone else feeling strange?

[courageous-wit.livejournal.com]

[Hermione touches her chest thoughtfully. It's such an odd feeling to feel her powers back but still not be able to access them]

I feel it too.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

You too, Minnie?

_{[His hand is resting on his blade, eyes darting around and trying to get as much a sense of their surroundings as he could.]}

[reset-week.livejournal.com]

[Kaito stops and shakes his head. urg, feeling the Bel's and his own powers shift like this wasn't fun. it reminded him a bit too much of getting Beldr's first time - a sort of sickness in his stomach.]

Hopefully this won't last long...

[batfail.livejournal.com]

You alright?

[muttblood.livejournal.com]

[Kuchiha is immediately sick when she steps inside.

What people had said about the Dead Zone seemed to be true - no powers, no supernatural abilities, none of that stuff worked. So even though she had remained wary she actually hadn't felt her inugami at all while the group traveled here.

But now it's back (sort of) and it must be pissed off.]

.....

[variare.livejournal.com]

[ Yeah, this seems to be affecting everyone. Not wanting anyone to pass out or anything, he checks on her too. ]

You okay?

[rappelle.livejournal.com]

[ jet, standing some distance away, notices her reaction, and gives her a strange look. ]

[inmylight-comdr.livejournal.com]

[It's disconcerting enough that Kat can feel her strength almost there, but not access it, but in addition the power flucuations to her robotic arm are just ridiculous. She just knows she's going to end up accidentally smacking someone.]

[ino]

... Whoa. [yeah she felt that. leans against the wall for a minute @_@]

[payback.livejournal.com]

[Rin by now has picked up a few supernatural tricks. She feels that energy flowing back in too, turning her head and looking around at the shadowed corners of the place.

... Running water. At least they won't die of thirst?]

What is this place...

[tomatoandbasil.livejournal.com]

[Alleyne doesn't have any real powers that were affected by the Dead Zone, but everyone feeling woozy around her makes her tense up by instinct. Those ears are going straight up and twitching hard.

She walks around and looks at everyone just in case.]

Is everyone alright?

_{[Vanyel is limitedly exploring when he feels a sharp pain, like a backlash of power, but not quite so powerful, and it goes to his belly. He hisses, carefully lowering himself to a kneeling position as he works his way through the sudden rush, looking a tiny bit pale - if you can see that at all. But though he can feel the stirrings of his magic, he cannot hear or feel Yfandes still, which is no comfort at all.]}

What...?

[lord-wizard.livejournal.com]

[Felix stands staring down into the adjoining tunnel with a rather displeased look on his face. The stirring of his magic was almost worse than not feeling it at all, but what really worried him was the the water. He could hear the trickling of the streams below the bridges, and all he could think was 'please please please don't let there be more water']

[sir-durge.livejournal.com]

[Durge notices none of this weirdness. He made a few attempt to budge the door, of course, but there was not an ounce of give to it, and he was already sore from getting the damnable thing open. They'd probably die down here, or lose a few people trying to dig out, assuming they could find the tools.

Any further thought into the matter fades rather rapidly as Durge nods his head and slumps against the wall.

What's that you hear? Yep. Snoring.

Durge's loss just caught up with him]

[hulloeverything.livejournal.com]

Whoooaaah! That's new.

[Eleven sways, feeling the difference in power. Pulling his screwdriver out, he turns it on, watching it whir in a sort of Morse Code] Curious. I wonder what's causing the power fluctuations.

[arrowonthewind.livejournal.com]

[The only thing that the Dead Zone seems to alter in Quel'dorei is their eyesight, so Alleria ... just kind of blinks for a second. Oh, weird.

Huh.

Anyway, she's immediately off, exploring the chamber before heading down one of the tunnels.]

[jamesholmes.livejournal.com]

[And he had just been getting used to life without the slight constant headache of his ability too. But you guys can mess with the things in that room all you like, James is presently rubbing at his eyes and temples in some semblance of pain relief attempting to avoid everyone. This is going to take some getting used to, that feeling of being able to use his enhanced mind but not being able to so he's going to hide in a corner and brood.

Yes this means bug him happily.]

[walkinthruwalls]

[ This is just weird. Have one girl just touching at the wall and looking frustrated at it. And then maybe pressing a little harder... she may try running into it soon ]

[powerlusts.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, Sasuke suddenly starts to feel it too as they enter] ...What was that?
