Armina comes in contact with the gate, begins to study it and learns a few things.
**Armina approaches with care as she nears the gate, taking the first few steps with a ready-to-spring heels. Such great sites are loaded with all sorts of magic.
**Armina reaches to her belt, withdrawing a leathery journal and opens it by merely waving a hand over it. She continues to carefully approach the gate itself, the source of power. She begins by approaching the pillar, looking for inscriptions.
**There is no inscriptions, but you do feel within' you power- you also recognise a old forgotten taint. Chaos. **You gather that this site is a gate-way to worlds beyond. **You also gather that it was never originally here but is the source of this crator.
**Armina does quick work to write these assumptions down in her journal before nearing the pillar, extending her arm as she opens her palm... not yet touching this pillar but getting a taste of it's magical power from a closer point of view. Perhaps this artifact is sentient in a way?
**Armina feels it instantly, this chaos is corrupting- though there is little within' this gate way. She feels it seeping into her slowly- does she pull away?
**Armina finishes writing in her journal before slapping the book closed and returning it to it's pouch. She closes her eyes and begins a small meditation rite in her mind, an attempt to fortify herself before coming into contact with the pillar.
As Armina began to fortify herself- it's in vain. She places her hand against the structure. A few moments of comfort turn to intense pain. Her hand stuck to the piller, her eyes began to change in their glow from the natural arcanic blue to a deep chaotic green- pain surging through her body.
**As she began to recover- Armina heard laughter from the otherside of the closed gate- she should recognise this as the foul dimensional demons taunting her attempts.
After the encounter, Armina sits by the fire to reflect on the encounter.
**Armina seats herself across the dwarf on the cold sand, by the warming embrace of the flame. She sits down cross-legged and with her eyes closed, meditating and reflecting on the occurrence.
Armina participated in yesterday's dungeon raid, dispatching many skeletons with her fireballs. She found the Book of Arcane Origins during the raid and made it to the 'boss' William Steelarm, managing to damage him with fire based spells, managing to even add a temporary fire effect to her dagger to inflict damage on the 'boss'.
