    In an unusual twist this time the mystery had come to the mages of Sacramento rather then them having to find it. In the form of a brief letter left within the circle of creation itself. The hand writing is crude and cramped the paper looks to have been crumpled and treated non to getlely.
    ----------------------------------

    Hey there,

    heads up Myself and some cabal mates were passing through and settled down in Camp Pollock where some summer Equinox festivities got a bit out of hand. We weren't looking to cause trouble, but would appreciate some help putting it right. Most of us belong to the same legacy and the traditional celebrations don't usually cause major problems, but now two of our lot are missing and some of the other campers are still asking questions. I won't go into detail here in case this gets seen by someone who shouldn't but will explain more if we meet.

    Juno

    ----------------------------------

    For those who choose to answer the call, their reasoning being their own, Camp Pollock is a wildish camping site open to the public, cabins can be booked, day tips for hiking or just getting out and about are possible and yes it is pleasantly closeness enough being only two hours at mot from the main city that a camping weekend away is highly popular. Old signs do say no fire but the smell of wood smoke and BBQ in the air make it clear that rule is either out dated or no longer enforced, the rush of the american river offers the tempting sound of a cool dip not so very far away and the abundant if clearly maintained woodland provides shade and trails. Directions to multiple main camping sites are posted around but here and there odd tents suggest people pitch up just about wherever they want.

    Nothing seems supernatural immediately amiss, no paradoxical anomalies, no clear signs of violated magic. However three patrol cars and a search party are organizing to go out, the police presence here perhaps making it sufficiently difficult for the wandering coven to solve whatever has happened while under the eye of the officers.

    This was... intriguing. How did this Juno get a letter inside the Circle? Something to ask her, Thirteen supposed as she drove to the camp ground on her motorcycle.

    She was most certainly not dressed for camping, or hiking, or other outdoor activities that didn't involve the highway. Blue jeans, black leather moto boots and a jacket to match, with a Led Zeppelin tee shirt. Stopping in a remote corner of the carpark, hidden beside someone's RV, she dismounted and then, after a quick glance about for prying eyes, opened a cat carrier strapped to the rear of the bike's seat. Out of it fluttered a crow, which immediately took to the nearest tree. It had been a two hour drive on open roads and there was no way Jinx, on wing, would have been able to keep up with Thirteen's motorcycle.

    As much as the familiar wanted to start yapping, he knew better and merely cawed as he stretched his wings.

    "Circle about," she said softly as she closed the carrier, "see if you spot anything weird from the air. And don't waste time gettin' chatty with the other birds."

    The crow made a sound a lot like someone blowing a raspberry before taking to the sky.

    Her bike secure, the Enchantress strolled through the lot, casually looking about. The cops were not unexpected, given there were people missing, but their presence was going to be a pain. Not that she had much of a plan right now beyond Come here and poke around.

    Upon reading the letter left in the Circle, it was hard for the Arrow to not see this as another good opportunity for him to win favour as a problem solver. After all so far he had a decent track record, he thought.

    Given Camp Pollock's location, it was of little surprise that Asclepius would drive to his own car there. Upon the drive there were some thoughts bouncing around the mind of the Arrow. I always thought mages had to make their presence known to the local mages if they were drifting through? Last thing we need is some intoxicated mage running round a camp site casting as they see fit.

    As he pulled into the car park, he chose to park out the way in the back. It would mean a quick getaway would be difficult if needed but also meant that he had a chance to lose any tails as he made his way to his car. As he stepped out of his Blue 1988 Camero, he adjusted his attire, Light blue T-shirt and white shorts, he had dressed for the warm sun and in a small attempt to blend in with campers. The patrol cars gave him a minor pause, even if he was not involved it did invoke a thought of caution, suspicions would be raised if he was not careful in helping this Juno.

    As he made his way through the car park he caught a glimpse of a familiar face, and headed over to announce his assistance in the matter that had brought him here. Nice Thirteen was shown to be very calm and collected when we last worked together. This should be a piece of cake with her expertise here.Hey, how is it going?

    Thirteen arrives along the blisteringly hot tarmac to outskirts of the camp, yellowing grass and droopy leaves show the suffering of nature in the heat of summer. There are mysteries afoot to be sure, however if what is known of the circle holds true only seers, banishers, selcesti and the mad are warded from discovering it. Pentacle mages and apostates can freely find and enter the building as is so often demonstrated when mages arrive seeking acknowledgement int the two rivers city.

    Jinx is let loose from the cage and the trusted familiar, restrained from snark, quip or witty remark by virtue of the public venue takes to their dark wings and begins to wide circles of the surrounding area. It is about now the arrow arrives on scene himself seeking to cermet his reputation and earn some glory. The plain clothes arrow makes his way other to greet the enchantress.

    Even in this short time however Thirteen feels a strong jolt of curiosity, not her own but rather coming from the empathetic bond that each master shares with their familiar. Jinx has spotted something that has caught the crow spirits attention in big way.

    Mateus, dressed in gray shorts, a t-shirt covered with the pattern of flowers, a white hat, black glasses and the smell of sunscreen around him arrives at the scene. He parks his car a short distance away and gets out with a small backpack on his back, with a waterbottle sticking out. A model hiker. He is ready to assist the others ... and see what he can make for himself in this. His motives are not entirely altruistic.

    He spots the others as he approaches and waves to them. He doesn't recall how they have asked to be called in public so he doesn't name them.
    Once he has approached he greets them with a smile and "Greetings. Nice day for a hike, isn't it?" Then, if they approach closer he states,
    "My memory is not the best, Apologies. What should I call you? "

    It was summers like this that gave Thirteen a deep appreciation of American air conditioners. She wasn't certain she'd survive without the one installed in her sanctum. As it was, out here on this black stove top, she took the bottle of water from her pack and stayed hydrated. The heat was putting her in a grumpy mood now that she didn't have the wind blasting her during her motorcycle drive.

    She caught the approach of the Master Arrow out of the corner of her eye, and then the new guy, Mateus. Seems they were also here to investigate. So be it.

    "Hey," was her curt greeting to them both. "Call me Violet out here. You two got names I shou--" the Enchantress' sentence was suddenly cut off from the empathic jolt she received. She turned and looked upwards, eyes scanning the low skies over the tree tops.

    "Birdie's found somethin' already," blunt as usual, the Libertine started off towards where her familiar was circling.

    The Arrow attempted to continue his beginnings of a conversation with Thirteen but was cut short by the Arrival of Mateus. It seemed for some reason, perhaps as a form of cover, he was pretending to not know the people he was speaking too. While the Arrow could understand the need for a cover, he did wonder if it was fruitless to say the least. Nevertheless, the Arrow played along. “Err yes, It would be on a normal occasion but given the patrol cars I suspect that there might be more pressing issues.” A hand gestures to the camp entrance. “Charles or Charlie is fine.

    The attention moved towards Thirteen, he nodded to acknowledge her comment about what to call her but her sentence cut short. Seems Jinx is indeed joining us today. The small comment given for her sudden walking off was all the Arrow needed to begin following her. Straight to the point, I love it when someone takes charge and is assertive. Right behind you, lead the way.

    Mateus arrives and joins the fellow consilium mages either here for the same reason or driven here by chance bringing the total number of active mages on the investigation up to three. The sun beats down upon them here in the car park and makes its oppressive power felt, it is is going to be a hot sweaty day and as Thirteen so wisely does one for keeping a good eye on the bodies needs. Asclepius grounds the conversation as he reminds those present of the patrol cars and the serious reason for why they have come hours out of their way to be here.

    With the emphatic pulse from her trusted familiar she cast her eyes about and can spot the embodied spirit a deceptive distance away as the crow flies lazily circling a little ways into one of the parched copses of trees.

    Answering to Asclepius , Mateus says "Yeah, it seems so." Then Thirteen moves and he nods. "I am behind you."
    He considers for a moment to cast spells but he doesn't want to make those coven mages angsty nor inform whatever and whomever they have annoyed with that breach of secrecy that more mages are there.

    "So, Charlie and Mateus? Got it."

    Thirteen moved steadily towards where she spotted Jinx wheeling about. She was eager to see what he'd found, and for a moment, she wished the bond between them was telepathic, not just empathic.

    But only for a moment, as she quickly dropped the idea because it was obvious to her that if the crow had to ability to speak directly into her kind, he would never shut up. It would be a constant stream of blabbering as the familiar waxed on about whatever random ideas came into his little birdbrain.

    The Acanthus didn't need that kind of hell.

    So, she walked on, the 'boys' in tow, towards the mystery site. What would they find?
