Ordella was promptly made aware of her own shortcomings as an Undertaker.

The [Seance] went off without a hitch. The reception of the spirit's words was another story, entirely. Never before has she spoken with an ancient. And a tinge of sorrow swept over Ordella as she failed to comprehend even a single word that he so passionately spoke. All she she had to bring back to Lord Holston from the ritual were the vague interpretations of an uncovered mural and a broken sword. A fraction of the history that the fallen one had detailed. The weapon had no use on the battlefield, but perhaps a historian could find great value in it.

And so she took the broken blade and stored it in her vestments for later.

Not long after that, Hideki and Tomo came strolling in from the exact opposite direction that they'd last disappeared to, and revealed a path into the inner chambers of the ruins. And, not long after that, she found herself surveying a room covered in glowing runes with a golden half-mask resting atop a pedestal. Unsurprisingly, Ordella found that to be just as suspicious as Tomo had.

So she kept her distance away from the mask, at the edge of the room, and used [Spirit Vision] to scan the area for danger or any foreign presence that may be lurking about.

Actions:
1) Moved to the edge of the inner chamber.
2) Used [Spirit Reading] to scan the are for danger or foreign presence.

Sealed Section, Target of the Expedition​

As Ordella examines the mask with her Spirit Reading, she can sense an aura of magic emanating from the mask, though it does not appear to be a malicious one. The arcane veins seem to root the mask to the pedestal, their tendrils wrapping around the base. It is clear that removing the mask will trigger something, though you can't tell what and it does not appear to be harmful.

Upon inspection Ordella sensed quite a bit of magic flowing through and around the mask.

And yet, she could sense no danger. Something was going to happen but, at the very least, it didn't seem like it was something that would immediately hurt her. No way to uncover intent until she figured out just what that was. Truth be told, from what she was sensing in that mask, she almost wanted to try it on and see just what the enchantment was. Almost. For now, though?

"I don't sense any malicious magic on the mask. There is an enchantment set to go off as soon as I pick it up, but it doesn't seem inherently dangerous," she reported to her comrades, "I think we're okay to pick it up."

Time was running short on their expedition. Even if she wasn't sure what would happen the moment she picked up the mask, at the very least, it didn't seem immediately harmful. So she decided to trust her senses. To take a leap of faith. Perhaps her comrades would follow her in. Perhaps they would wait behind in caution. Either way, Ordella walked up to the mask-

-gently wrapped her fingers around it-

-and picked it up.

Hideki ​

Hideki ambled alongside Tomo, his strides a casual mimicry of nonchalance. To any onlooker, it would appear he merely sauntered at his own leisure, yet Tomo, unwittingly or not, carved the path ahead. The air around them thickened with enchantment as Ordella wove her sorcery, each gesture weaving invisible threads through the charged atmosphere. Hideki found himself momentarily entranced, his gaze locked on the dance of power before him, a ballet of the arcane that drew his world into a quiet awe.

As Ordella's hand reached out, deliberate and graceful, to tame the wild magic, Hideki's intrigue twisted into alarm. His ears flattened, melding into the silhouette of his head, and his tail, a barometer of his fear, tucked itself securely between his legs. His muscles coiled like springs, tension singing through his frame. By the time her fingers clasped around the pulsing energy, Hideki was already a blur of motion, his body hurtling towards the promise of refuge in a practiced leap of escape.

Tomo
Languages: Common, <Beastial>
While Tomo dug through the shifting earth and stone, a thought crossed his mind. It had been a while since digging had been this interesting – or rather be interesting altogether. In his previous life, it had been a means to an end for the longest time. Something that passed the time and staved off boredom as he searched for the non-existent treasures beneath the earth. Back then, it had been the make-believe, but now, things were different. And that slowly began to dawn on him.

One more drag of his paw and the open passage revealed itself – with Mimi greeting them from the other side of the rubble. And Tomo's tail could not resist wagging from her smiling face. “We found ways through now,” he said, glancing back at the pedestal and half mask that glinted in the light of day, “ye all step light, though. There flows magic here.”

After providing a vague warning to the group, Tomo took an interest in Ordella approaching the mask. He joined at her side and sat down on the stone floor. His head cocked to the side. “You think it safe, or you know it? I have still a good few years and all!” Tomo questioned, then insisted as Ordella's fingers wrapped around the mask, “Oh! That is class it is, that, it, is--” He barked and backed up a couple of feet. His ears lay flat as he kept an eye on Ordella lifting the mask. A mixture of concern and curiosity filled him whole.
