Nadia follows him without problem, and she enters the Grey House like it was a regular home, happily and peacefully. She settles down on her bed and the few patients who notice anything just don't seem to care. As Cyrus wanders around pretending not doing anything, he manages to leave a window unlocked but closed, looking like it was properly shut. While he deals with the window he can't help but notice that patients are somewhat disinterested in him compared to his first entry, especially after returning the girl unharmed. No juicy news on the horizon of the stranger who stole Nadia from under the nose of the caretakers.

As he concentrates on the unseen energies of the psychic world around Nadia, Cyrus can feel the presence of a faint aura of enchantment affecting her. She is still smiling happily as this happens, mostly oblivious to the world going on. OOC He can sense magic on her, but it's up to you to decide whether he does something about it.

If I understand it correctly, detect magic should still sense psychic stuff going on, is that right? Yeah, I think so. If so, do you mind if I swap one of my other cantrips for it? I thought the detect psychic did that. Go ahead, swap it. No sense in getting stuck with something you don't like.

I don't know what 'Cyrus will focus his sixth sense' means specifically. I looked through the sheet you linked, and I didn't find a Sixth Sense. Is it a class feature? Feat? Occult skill unlock?

"Traveling far away. Far away where the herons fly and walk. The butterflies are the most beautiful of all animals, and they are kind." Nadia responds, with an angelic smile spread wide on her face. Soon after she finishes the last sentence, she starts slowly rocking back and forth, but staying in place. Then she slowly closes her eyes and just sways gently, still wrapped in the blanket. A few passers-by look at the weird duo with a slight disdain, then walk on without interfering.

Cyrus feels a shiver running down his spine and his hair stands up after searching the place with his sixth sense. Noting specific stands out, though. The girl slides off the bed, her eyes darting around as if expecting an attack from any direction. She pulls the blanket around herself tight, looking like a tiny withered old woman and scurries outside as fast and undetectable as she can manage. She continues without stopping outside the door and slows to a halt when the two of them are a hundred yards away from the building. "I'm Nadia, sir." she turns towards Cyrus, then looks back at the building, her expression suddenly changing to carefree happiness, "The plague is ... just sickness. It goes away. My friends had it, Perre in the neighboring house, old Janpar who is just a beggar. And nobody got really hurt. Only people in the hospital ... change, or die. People with the plague in the hospital. Why does the hospital hurt people?"

"The plague is not ..." she stops in mid-sentence with fear, "I ... those who speak get punished here. The ..." she looks around, including the ceiling, with an agitated expression, "place gets angry at those who talk about it. I don't want to get punished. I don't want to talk here." She looks much more afraid of the place than being sick. This shows not only in her words, but also the way she is comfortable with looking at sick patients, or doctors, compared to how she looks around and up, scanning the building for danger.

I've had only a short trip into 4e, but I liked it very much. I wasn't the GM, so I had the easy part, but for me 4e is the only consistent and logical D&D version. For a while, I entertained the idea of running a game, but my primary reason for not doing that is my inability to do make cool/nice tactical maps. Somehow I feel that it is very important, since tactical maps are unavoidable in 4e. About the quote from leons: How about using just the 3 PHBs? I haven't delved into character balance and such, but are the basics so bad that they need serious corrections for enjoyable play?

The girl shivers, and 'shrinks' as much as she can when Cyrus addresses her. She looks at him like a beaten dog expecting more beating. "Why do you want to talk to me?"

"Ummm," he muses for a few seconds, "Dena? Lenna? Denni? or something similar. You might ask others about it, my memory is truly awful. She just disappeared one day. Sleeping there when evening comes," he points to a bed, "and nowhere the next morning. ... You are a good person, sir." he adds with sudden seriousness, before turning away to continue his task.

That spoiler-button you use is perfect.
