Re: Thunder in the Distance (thetwo)
(Ugh, now you're making me paranoid. 'Oh yea, you made it home without anything attacking you. Nothing is inside the house. The room is perfectly secure.' >.<)
At the last minute Ashley decides to reverse her decision about messages, and writes three messages on the door, using minor light magic to hide them until conditions are met.
"At noon tomorrow this message will fade and I will return offering aid to those in need."
"Warning: this domicile is protected by magical traps."
"X"
The first she hides from all but women looking for aid, and sets to expire at noon the next day. The second she hides from anybody not standing on the top step, and sets to stay until removed. The third is the same as the second except it is dispelled when first read by any but Ashley.
Ashley is about to settle down for sleep when she remembers the webs in the basement and the unusual security precaution she took before she left. Knowing she'll never be able to get to sleep unless she looks, she checks the door to the basement to see if the hair she left there to indicate the door hadn't been opened is still there.
