Clean up crew: Return to the forties

[ReubanBrightwood]

In East Sacramento exists a neighbourhood that can only be described as a the suburban dream large stylish detached houses set back from the road with expansive gardens. The streets beautifully cultivated with greenery and well maintained surfaces and pavements. The cars are all new and expensive with quite engines. If anyone who lives here works locally they are management for sure and very rich while many more of these dream homes sit empty places for the extravagantly wealthy to spend summers or winters on holiday. The neighbourhood is known as [url=https://www.visitcalifornia.com/experience/fabulous-forties/]The Fabulous forties [/url It is also here that over half a year a go Corn, Philip Crosen, Eidolon and Salem found and broke into a warded Sanctum to fight with a ghost and a mage evidentially having to beat a hasty retreat as they were unable to gold there own.

It is here Aurora finds herself in this district a world away from loft conversions and circus tents to see exactly what kind of damage had been done and if she can put things to rights.

Aurora wasn’t sure what to expect from where she had been sent. It certainly wasn’t a nice neighborhood with expensive looking houses and cars.

But she was glad she had taken an Uber and put in a little effort into what she wore.

What would she find? Would it be as hostile as what the others encountered? She sure as hell hoped not, she knew the Lex, she knew how to talk to people, and she had no plans to break into any home. Emphases on plans, she had no clue what this trip was going to entail, and who or what she might encounter. They could be hostile right off the bat, and then, well, not much she could do.

Hostile wasn’t her plan.

Best laid plans…blah blah blah.

At least she was smart, that had to work for her.

The address had been typed into the GPS on her cell and she let it guide her. And as she walks, and gets closer to her destination, she takes a moment to look around and get a feel for her surroundings.

Among the many beautiful houses in the fabolous forties district the first task for the Sharman is to identify which of the pristine and sleepy looking abodes is the one she needs knowing that the four mages prior had been looking into leylines and found a node might help as does knowing the ward came from a ghosts numina.

[Aurora]

It would have been nice for them to leave a sign on the door for her, but, things were never that easy.

And as such, she was going to have to cast to see where she was going. Not ideal of course, but at least her spells were not vulgar. There was a look around, seeing if anyone was approaching on the sidewalk, out on their lawn or anything before she glances at her phone again. Was she simply a tourist a bit lost? Perhaps.

Prime was still new to her, but it had been very useful. And she needed to see those Leylines and follow them.

The spell was covert and the chances of it becoming improbable near nothing as it greeted no visual effect for sleepers to interact with. Instead her eyes open to the flows of energy of the earth great blazing streams of golden fire like force rush through the earth beneath her a torrent of natural power beautiful and magnificent reminiscent of a waterfall if it the water fell horizontally instead if vertically touching and infusing every thing around maintaining some balance or structure.

Here two such majestic torrents intersect at angles before running on perfectly straight. Do they circle the entire planet? They both certainly run to the horizon in both directions. The point of intersection a wellspring of energy a hot spring bubbling to the surface ready to be enjoyed, a node. And on that point built as if intentionally which it might well have been an old two story house complete with circular attic window and extensive front porch. She has found the sanctum in question.
