“Speaking of the castle, tell me if any of you lot can see anything up there.” He turned around and pointed up towards where he had seen the dancing figures
As the motley looked toward where Bruce was pointing, a golden glow emanated from inside the castle. The event was apparently still in progress. Figures of alien shapes and sizes swirled behind the obscuring wall of frosted glass matched to a lilting, fast paced tune that made one want to throw their arms up and dance. This tune could be heard clearly because all sound in the garden had ceased as if every single thing were holding its breath and waiting. Then both Andrew and Max saw a glimpse of something, little opalescent flecks of color from off to either side.
Andrew probably had no idea what was causing the light but he suddenly had a feeling like something was watching him... the way a cat watches prey.
Max meanwhile suddenly had a flashback to what he had seen earlier
“a circular clearing with a silver podium in the center,upon which was engraved the phrase
‘What if we had ideas that could think for themselves? What if one day our dreams no longer needed us? When these things occur and are held to be true, the time will be upon us’.
On top of the podium stood an angel statue, it was made of clear glass that flashed with little flecks of color like an opal. Max almost wished he could see her face but the statue had been carved as if it were crying and therefore its face was obscured by its hands.”
A quick glance toward where the podium was revealed that the statue was gone and he was fairly sure no one could have moved it without the motley noticing... which meant it had moved under its own power
If the entire motley looked past the part of the castle that revealed the strange gathering. There was a silver door set in the farthest point of the castle wall that matched the key Alex had acquired. That door clearly led to the interior and wasn't very far... but the gate they used to enter the garden was closer, the motley might be able to quickly dash for either of them with some luck.
(okay so if you bolt, say whether your running for the door or gate then roll your speed. if you want a chance to retaliate while running it will be speed halved & rounded down. if you want to look for a weapon give me a perception check, usual roll please, before you run... if you not running.... that's your choice)
