SUBJECT: Site Breaching Field Report

June 8th, 1884
Equipment arrived in excellent condition. No articles missing. Foreman Clemm has surveyed the site and confirmed the presence of magickal barriers preventing access through all apparent entrypoints, consistent with the 'warnings' we received from a curmudgeonly old Realmwalker. Structure otherwise appears unoccupied and undisturbed, despite his contrary claims.
Location makes this a prime candidate for exhumation and retrieval of materials. Preliminary viewing suggests Fae-carved statuettes, fine metals, Redcrosse memorabilia and potential for items of high magickal value. Construction of scaffolding for upper entry will be assembled concurrently with preparation for excavation of the structure's foundation.
Foreman estimates time until recovery of first items to be under two weeks.
June 15th, 1884
No progress has been made accessing the site. Scaffold construction was successful, but drilling efforts into exterior walls both above and below ground level have proven ineffective. I am formally requesting additional digging and blasting equipment on the behalf of Foreman Clemm.
Sighting of movement within the structure was reported but could not be validated. The incident has been dismissed.
Disagreement between the foreman and a member of the crew, Etta Bergman, regarding the 'intention' of our excavation has resulted in the crew member's termination. Expect her return shortly to collect severance.
Foreman's estimation until recovery of first items remains unchanged.
June 21st, 1884
No progress has been made accessing the site. Charges have been placed around the structure's foundation with plans to detonate at sunrise.
Repeated reports of sound and light within the structure were confirmed false by Foreman Clemm. Crew members continue to express unease, and it is recommended that future endeavours vet for superstition in employees.
Several members of the crew voiced dissatisfaction with our excavation methods and disputed our ownership of the site. Following an altercation with the foreman, the crew members have resigned. Myself, the foreman and two crew members remain. The foreman reports that we are still adequately staffed and require no additional support.
Foreman's estimation until recovery of first items remains unchanged.
June 22nd, 1884
Excavation attempts have failed, resulting in substantial losses and the death of Foreman Clemm. While inspecting charges prior to detonation, the foreman made contact with the structure's magickal barrier, ejecting him, and the charge, a great distance. The charge detonated upon landing, damaging surrounding NTTC assets irreparably.
Shortly after, movement of a humanoid shape within the structure was briefly witnessed by myself and another crew member. As the site can no longer be confirmed vacant, operations have ceased and scaffold will not be retrieved. It is recommended that efforts be redirected toward sites in other biomes.
We have collected the foreman's effects for return to the Company. Remaining crew can be expected back in 2 days time.
