So, if she could feel it on the ground, but not in the air, in Cara's mind that meant it was likely a trick.
And tricks of magic could be Nullified.
Cara cast [Nullify] and the air seemed to distort for a moment, which encouraged her to recruit assistance.
[Karl, help me out here. I think that we're standing on something good.] She insisted.
The Chieftain recognized the spell right away when Karl started casting. If it didn't work, then there was no harm, but if this strange adventurer could prevent a disaster from occurring near them with a Nullification spell, that would be an even larger cause for celebration.
With both Karl and Cara working, the distortions in the air began to increase, as did the mana load as they worked to overcome the spell.
It was obviously higher level than either of them, but the spell felt unstable. Karl had to continually adjust his Nullification, as parts of the spell would dissolve and reform, like the spell was collapsing on its own, but being maintained by someone on the other side.
Or something.
Finally, the distortion increased to the point that they could clearly see that there was an ancient stone building all around them. That was cause for the Orcs to cheer and begin a new song on the drum.
This song made the distortion in the air even stronger, and the temple clearer. It had to be a form of bardic magic, Karl thought.
Then, the world twisted, and they found themselves standing next to the temple, looking out over fields of long grass filled with domestic animals. They hadn't broken the illusion, they had thrown themselves through it.
"Head Count." Karl and the Chieftain demanded at the same time.
It was quickly determined that everyone was here. Even the summoned bodyguards had been brought along with them.
"I don't think that we moved." One of the Orcish Shamans announced after a few minutes of verification.
"The sun is in the same spot, and will set in the same spot as expected. So, we are near the same latitude, on the same day of the year." He added.
Remi agreed. It was more likely that they had moved through time than space, but she had no way of measuring that.
However, they were not alone.
"Welcome?" A gentle voice asked hesitantly, clearly unsure what to make of the sudden arrivals.
The Chieftain poked Karl, who turned to face the new voice. A young woman in a Darklight Host Tabard stood in front of them, looking nervous.
"Ah, good evening. Sorry about the sudden intrusion, it appears that a magical anomaly decided we should be here today. My name is Karl, and it's a pleasure to meet you, Mira."
