>Don't open door. Yet.
Aye-aye, cap'n. Not opening door just yet.
>Presumably the pagoda has a glow or something about it normally?
Correct.
>If so, does this glow seem to be present within the cabin? Or any other sign of the pagoda, for that matter?
Sadly, no.
>Inventory (It's been too long. I think Nue is with us)
It's in the opening post; I've made a point of keeping it updated there since a certain someone always has me backtracking a page to find and update it :3
>Arm yourself; tell everyone else to do so.
Gripping your anchor and spell cards, you inform everyone else (meaning Nue; Kyouko still seems fine soaking her feet in the pond nearby) to do the same. Nue's response is to pull forth her trident and hover a couple feet off the ground.
>"There might be a trap here. Maybe whoever lives in this house might not like people entering.
"There's only one way to find out, Captain," Nue says in response.
However, it looks like the next step won't be happening. Not even a second after Nue stops speaking, a girl's voice near-literally barks out "HALT!" in your direction. Turning to face the voice indicates that whoever this is, she's a girl with white hair, red eyes, wolf ears and a tail, and a pretty big sword & shield set. Definitely a wolf tengu.
