Bazz looks carefully around the dusty sitting room, keeping an eye out for traps or anything else of interest. He doesn't find anything but grime and cushions along the walls and there doesn't appear to be anything suspicious about the carpeting or floor beneath it except the disorienting pattern. He does take note that the lamp hanging from the ceiling has been modified to include a strange rotating shutter mechanism whose purpose is not immediately obvious.
[[Bazz can give me an insight check as well to put things together. To search he had to enter the room. Is anyone else going in after him? I'm assuming that Melville will as well to look around once the ritual is complete.]]
By the time Bazz finishes his sweep of the room Melville finishes his ritual, and focuses on the room. Nothing immediately jumps out at him, but after a few moments of looking around, he notices that there is a faint magical aura around the specifically the stones that make up the base of the cooking ring. Looking closely at this, Melville sees signs that this ring of stones has been stone-shaped to be on continuous ring of stone, although first impressions would be that the ring is made of individual stones. Melville can also tell that the shaping has been done to also functionally meld the stone through the the black wood beneath is such a fashion as to make it impossible to move the ring without significant damage to the floor and carpeting. The magic of the ring is quiescent and of such a low ebb that Melville thinks it is enchantment or transmutation related, but would need to figure out how to reactivate it to get a better reading.
