Crusty Magic

  
  We carefully approached the front door not knowing exactly what was going on. If, in fact, there was nothing amiss then it wouldn't do to disturb two powerful mages. That was a good way to get singed (and I was tired of getting singed).

The door was shut and the curtains closed. Ariana suggested that it might be a good idea if she took a quick look around the back of the house. Using one of my new "skills" that I'd discovered during my last meditation, I connected with Ariana such that I could see through her eyes and report to the others what she saw.

I must admit it was a bit odd, and more than a little disorienting. The rest of my senses felt my body as if it was standing in front of the house, but at the same time I was seeing what Ariana saw as she moved around the house. I could see her hands that were not my hands reach out for balance. I saw her reflection in a window as she passed ... this would take some getting used to.

Heh ... I may have to sense-link with Conor on one of his nights out. Hmmm, I wonder what his sense of touch would be like to link with ... on second though maybe not.

One thing I did notice, though, was that I didn't "see" with Ariana's eyes (using her ability to see in the dark, for instance). It seems that my own skills and senses are applied to the subject's "instrument" (whatever that happens to be) -- as in "Gee, I wonder what that woman's food tastes like" ... concentrate ... "mmmm, pretty good". "Ah, barmaid, I'll have what she's having. -- Of course, that would be a "frivolous" use of magic and I would never do that ... Dane.

Anyway, Ariana got around the house and peeked in a back window. It looked to be a kitchen, but it was a frightful mess ... not, I think,  a place where "wise and powerful" mages would wish to cook. Something was definitely wrong. I described the seen to Dane and Whiff.

Ariana hurried back just as Dane (who was, at least, distantly acquainted with the husband and wife pair) opened the door announcing in a loud, non-threatening voice (just in case) his intention to enter this private residence.
