"I see no way to enter this dome. Should set camp or try to follow the priest right away?"

"There's got to be some way in. Maybe. You'd think...." Raezhon paces around the perimeter of the dome, carefful to give any of the warding marks a wide berth. "Maybe the entrance is closeby - a door, a cave..."
OOC:
She's going to attempt to follow the tracks of the priests and see if she can discern the path taken by the priests before the ambush. She'll also keep an eye out for anything in the surrounding area that might conceal an entrance of some kind.

Raezhon only sees the Aeon Priests tracks headed straight for the dome, before the tracks are messed up with the tracks from the larger group.

Correction/clarification: The Aeon Priests went to the dome, entered, and came out which is when they were accosted by margr. You can tell where they entered, but not how.

Aduan stands at the spot where the footprints meet the dome and speaks aloud but not to anyone in particular. "If we can't find a way in maybe it would be easier to find a way out. I still have this item which allows short range movement through the aethir." He turns to the others and asks, "Do you think I should take the risk? Or should we just follow the Margr?"

"Don't waste your item on this. I can enter. It just.... It's fine. I'll let you know what I find." Raezhon's form begins to break down, almost as if she is pixelating or dissolving into fine grains of sand. When she is fully translucent, she begins slowly passing through the surface of the dome.
OOC:
At least I think she does. I'll edit if that doesn't work.

No, Raezhon can't.

In the interim of decisions being made Nim decides to give a look around for any other clues the might lead to opening the entrance.
OOC:
Gonna roll another perception check. Also is there anything I can roll to gain more info on those wards or, in your GM wisdom, is it useless to try to glean more info from them. I'll roll a second check for the wards but you can feel free to ignore it if theres nothing to be gained

OOC:
To be honest, I have no idea how you're supposed to figure this out, haha. So you do!
Contrary to all expectations, Nim and Raezhon both discover that to enter the dome, you need to place your hand on any part of the wall of the dome, and think about how much you want to pass through, at which point a door forms in front of you.

OOC:
Haha nice well I'm sure we can find a fun way to rp it
After numerous questionable attempts at breaking through the seemingly impenetrable surface, (including kicking it, asking nicely and whispering sweet nothings) Nim defeatedly leans on the dome and screams frustratedly towards the heavens "I JUST WANNA GET INSIDE THIS STUPID THING! IS THAT SO MUCH TO.." however at that very moment the domed structure seems to react and an entrance appears. Huh.. well then... I really am more clever than I look haha... he thinks to himself foolishly triumphant.

Just as Raezhon is about to give up on the doorway idea and phase out through the walls, she sees an entrance 'magically' appear and Nim step through it. "How did you...? I couldn't find any kind of doors or switches or anything." She stares at Nim incredulously but with a hint of admiration and a wry crooked smile. [Which may be one of the first time you've actually seen her smile.]

Aduan simply stands at the newly created doorway and peers inside.

What I posted for Rhaezon earlier

Inside the Dome: The air is cool and moist, and somehow there are thriving green potted plants giving the whole place fresh air. Most of the interior, however, is filled by a maze of machinery. Spinning turbines, rotating dishes, and banks of control panels and interface stations. The floor is made of multicolored ceramic tiles.

There is also a panel in the side of one of the large machines that has been removed, exposing a cylindrical space where something obviously gets "plugged in" and affixed to some wires, cables, and conduits. Rhaezon has a cylinder that obviously fits into that space, along with various wires and prongs that would allow it to be connected to the larger mechanism, but just as obvious is the fact that the cylinder has burned out from the inside. It is blackened and partially melted.

I got no clue what this place is for but something is obviously broken, is it something we can figure out by ourselves or do we need to find those Priests first?

"I found this," Raezhon says as she approaches her companions. "It fits into that apparatus over there." She takes out the cylinder and shows it to them, then takes them to the place inside the dome where she found it. "It looks like its completely fried now. I wonder what it did when it worked?"

Having heard and seen everything that's happened inside the dome, Aduan calls out from the doorway, "I know what I would like it to be although it would take a lot of expertise and work to fix it."

What do you think it is?
