"Right! COmrades, our target is ahead! Marcus will be vanguard! FOR HONOR! FOR JUSTICE! AND FOR PEACE TO THE DEAD!"
"Right behind you!"
"What? No, you stay at distance."
"Metaphorically, dad."
"Oh, yes."
Marcus heads the group, shield and axe at the ready.
Alanna stays at the rear, and prepares to fire upon any sign of incoming movement. Also she looks to any convienient sniper spots.
Both move towards the mystery lightning dome.

Use the candles to deafen myself, by filling my ears with wax. Then proceed towards the henge, but don't enter it yet. Stop at about throwing distance away.
"With all that lightning around, I don't want to get hurt by a near miss."
Trail along behind the group, continually emitting a low whimper, and occasionally glancing wistfully back at the empty wasteland. Don't get close to any of the statues, or if it is unavoidable without losing the team, smash them with a prybar.

Beethro holds the group up only just long enough to deafen himself with some candle wax. Thus impaired he gives them the thumbs up to continue forward. They ask him what he thinks he's doing, only for predictable shouting of "WHAT?!" to be the only answer. They press in towards the henge, the air becoming thick and charged, choked with ozone and uncomfortably humid. Their clothing and skin quickly become covered in a thin layer of oily build up, like they've been spritzed with wd40. As they push their way through increasing winds, they finally penetrate the henge and find themselves standing within the eye of a storm. Here, the world is quiet and calm. The sky is blue, only the edges tinged with the constant swirl of the storm outside, and the air fresh. The ground is almost blindlingly pristine and clean, a kind of white that seems impossible. There are no shadows here; everything is lit seemingly from all directions. So bright and clean is it that making out any forms here is almost impossible; the shape of the ground is only visible when you crouch low to the ground and view it against the storm walls. There are bodies here too. The ground is completely covered in them; like rough hewn ground or chaotic stone. Everyone struggles to cross it without tripping. At the center of this place is a pool of black. No. Not black. A pool of absence, of utter utter nothing. It is as black as the white is white, and only via careful observation while moving, craning their necks at various angles, can the group tell that this blackness is fluid in nature. At the center of the pool, are two things. There is a tree, made of the same white as everything else. It looks like a marble statue, but it rustles and shivers slightly in a non-existant breeze. The other thing, leaning, slumped against the tree, is a young woman. Her age is hard to tell, she could be anything from 13-17, her features thin and slight. Her skin is almost the color of the white around her, only just a half a shade off, and her hair the color of the pool, also only a touch away from utter darkness. She is laying there, back against the tree, lower body submerged, like an exhausted swimmer having just pulled herself back onto land.
The girl tilts her head up, tiredly, but her eyes remain closed.
"Why wouldn't you just leave?" she asks.
"You said other children, you were a child as well before you found the pool? Do you want to spread the White so that you can bring other people back if they die? So you can protect them? And what if they refuse the white? Will you force it on them?"
Bill continues to talk with the wizard, but stays his safe distance away from the magnetic field with his summons nearby. Continue using summon senses to detect threats or anything interesting.

"I..." The child goes suddenly silent and tilts its head up and to the side, as though listening to something far away. It then vanishes into thin air.
