The Wardens find themselves on a vast and almost featureless plain with normal sized grasses blowing in a wind with no source. A large 6’ tall pile of dirt extends away from the portal and is about 12 feet wide and 350’ long. Above and around you are hundreds of glowing blue portals hanging in the air or sitting upon the ground seemingly at random. As the Wardens stand looking at the plain and its vastness one of the portals miles away in the sky flashes and pings with a crystal-like clear chime. The portal at their back responds with a like chime. A moment later several creatures emerge from the floating portal in the distance and start to fly towards the Wardens portal. As they get closer it’s evident that these are more of the iron golems they battled most recently, and they are glowing as if freshly forged. It’s clear that you have to defeat these golems and close that other portal or more are sure to come...
Vamir, it appears has not stepped through yet.

Cursing at the impetuousness of the young, Neshi casts a stone skin on himself and joins the others in the leap of faith.
Once there and as soon as he sees the incoming golems, Neshi starts casting stone skin spells, Atlas, Brawn, and Elyngael are the first recipients.

Not far away, a figure in mitrhil full plate pushes up from his prone position in the grass, and trots over. He carries a mithril shield, and wears a bastard sword, which he takes obvious care not to grab. A dark red vestment covered in silver colored High Woldian symbols hangs over his armor. Both shield and armor have an upright hammer centered upon them, and centered in the hammer on his chestplate is a WLA Badge (Guardian Rank).
Closing in on the group, he holds his right hand up in greeting, and calls out, "Many Shadows! I don't suppose you dudes have the pick to get out of this place?"
With a glance over his shoulder at the approaching iron golems, he adds "Or happen know the right pick to rip their threads?"
(RD subbing) Atlas Saturday July 3rd, 2021 12:49:15 PM
Atlas spots the Golems. "Great another shooting show for Elyngael." Then he spots the stranger. Seeing the WLA Badge, Atlas buffs his with his arm. "Hi,Elyngael here is our resident golem killer. We are the Wardens of the Tree of Parting. I'm Atlas. Who are you?"

Then he spots the strange figure (Armand has High Woldian as one of his languages) and gives him the once over. Armand is wearing mithril breast plate and has a holy symbol of Gargul hanging around his neck. He is gripping an adamantine war hammer that is glowing (light spell). "Hail stranger. Not sure what you mean by the pick to get out of this place. We're not really sure where this place is. The gate behind us leads to the Sargrass Plains of the Wold. My name is Armand De'lafere, and as Atlas says we are the Warden of the Tree of Parting and I have a feeling we're still a mighty long way from home."

I mean really, how much time does it take to create these things you magic guys?" Elyngael will start heading toward them. At miles out, it's going to take a while to get in range, but she is not rushing.
Neshi takes a few moments after casting those spells to absolutely fix the area in front of their portal in his mind, He also also ties a bit of cloth to an iron spike and sets it in the ground two feet to the left of the opening they just appeared from.

"Ahh good to see another league member. I am Yurr’Neshi Reshka. Most people just call me Neshi. And your name good sir?"
Not really waiting for an answer, Neshi continues.
"As you can see we are about to have some unwanted guests, which in the recent past have been immune to most of our magic, but slowed by cold-based spells, heal very quickly, can both fly and burrow at good speeds and are susceptible to wounds from adamantine weapons, and cast fire and pack a mean punch."

One by one the Warden's jumped into the portal and emerged right side up through the vertical portal in the Nexus.
Neshi prepared to cast stone skin on Atlas, Brawn, and Elyngael. Meanwhile he marked the portal they arrived through as he spoke to the newcomer.
Osul Asked about an enlarge person spell.
Trellus stood and revealed himself as he called out a greeting to the Warden's of the Tree.
Atlas started to grouse about the golems and that Elyngael was going to steal the spotlight once more. He then noticed Trellus and greeted him.
Armand looked around in wonderment and then his eyes narrowed as he tried to determine their location.
Vamir and Melzat prepare for battle.
Elyngael wisely relaxed in the knowledge that the golems wouldn't be here anytime soon.
The weather here was beautiful, but there was no clear source of water in sight at all so any prolonged stay here would require some kind of magic to produce such. Still, Trellus claim to not know how long he'd been here resonated with Osul and Armand. As to the time it would take for the golems to arrive, likely hours. Aside from the Warden's and the portals arrayed upon it this place was featureless.
Armand Highlight to display spoiler: { Armand had read of this place. Some called it the Nexus of worlds, but in reality in terms of the cosmology of the Wold it was more a Nexus of places. Dragons and powerful undead were said to have used the place as a means to travel in the Wold. This pocket dimension has elements of Air and Earth, seemed unstable, and would required something to keep it open for any length of time. Dragon magic most likely in this case. Armand also noted that the sheen of the portals other than the two they'd seen in action was different. (DC 20 Arcana) The one behind them at ground level and the other miles distant in the air. To navigate the Nexus they'd need to simply cross the distance to the other portal, but he felt that there was a time limit. In fact he'd bet the only reason why Trellus was sitting here was that the portal was marked with the dirt from the Sargrass and this one was the only one different from the others. He'd likely not know which portal he used to get here. Armand realized that to linger here would mean eventual amnesia and ultimately a state of catatonia.
Opening a portal to summon creatures requires a 20% Arcane Spell Failure check due to the unfamiliarity of the pocket dimension. }
Osul Highlight to display spoiler: {To Osul it's clear that the golems must have thrown the dirt from their excavation through the portal. As to the ones distant it would be hours before they arrived here unless the Warden's moved forth to meet them.}
Neshi Highlight to display spoiler: {Please add 1 Hero Point for marking the portal.}
KS: The Planes DC 20 Highlight to display spoiler: {Opening a portal to summon creatures requires a 20% Arcane Spell Failure check due to the unfamiliarity of the pocket dimension.}
DM: At present no spells have been cast that would expire before the golems arrive. You'll have time to cast those later once they get closer. It looks like at present this battle may go the same direction as the one before, so if you'd like to do something that requires some time, you have that.

Armand rubs his chin. Knowledge Arcane 24 (d20+16) for Armand also noted that the sheen of the portals other than the two they'd seen in action was different.
"Well I've got good news and bad news. I think this place is the Nexus of worlds, but in reality in terms of the cosmology of the Wold it was more a Nexus of places.

It's possibly unstable, and would required something to keep it open for any length of time. Dragon magic most likely in this case. Also if you will note, the sheen is different from portal to portal. To navigate the Nexus we need to simply cross the distance to the other portal, but I think there is a time limit. The longer we linger here could mean eventual amnesia and ultimately a state of catatonia. Also since we're no longer on the plane to the Wold, opening a portal to summon creatures is going to be harder."per DM requires a 20% Arcane Spell Failure check due to the unfamiliarity of the pocket dimension.
Armand casts Heroes Feast. "We might as well get some sustenance and a little boost before combat."The feast takes 1 hour to consume, and the beneficial effects do not set in until this hour is over. Every creature partaking of the feast is cured of all sickness and nausea, receives the benefits of both neutralize poison and remove disease, and gains 1d8 temporary hit points + 1 point per two caster levels (maximum +10) after imbibing the nectar-like beverage that is part of the feast.

They were a different kind of iron golem. That's why I'm wondering which type this will be, or if it's a different kind of golem altogether." Elyngael says in answer to Trellus. She then goes with Brawn to the table that pops up from Armand's spell and clears a chair away so Brawn can sit next to the table as well. Brawn is a huge wolf and is her animal companion.

"That's not a problem, Vamir. Thank you."
"Following on from my previous idea, should we be defending our goal, taking it to the golems, or getting past them and through their portal? Add to that last point, and how are we all getting to it?"
"Trellus, The Tree is on the northern continent..."{Sense Motive: 37}"...south-east of The Culverwood. That is where we thought we were going ... a while back now, but we landed in the middle of The Sargrass and we've been fighting the good fight ever since."

Owen looked around at the other portals.
Elyngael explained the recent encounters with the golem creatures to Trellus before sitting down to eat.
Vamir sat with Melzat and ate of the feast.
Trellus was super shady as he ate and asked of the tree of parting. Obviously a place of great shade.
Osul answered a variety of questions.
Owen Highlight to display spoiler: {Of the three portals nearby that he examined he saw one that appeared to be on the open sea, another near a large rock that looked like an octopus, and lastly of a snowy peaked mountain. None of these portals looked usable. The second portal might have been in the Taur Isles while the last was definitely somewhere in the scab.}
The Tree Wardens and their new friend ate of the feast and enjoyed it's magical effects. Meanwhile the golems flew closer in their slow advance towards the heroes. An hour later when the heroes were wrapping up their meal they could tell that the golems were gaining altitude as they climbed higher into the endless sky. At the current rate they'd be upon the heroes in less than a hour, but unless they descended they'd be hundreds of feet in the air above the wardens.

As they eat Armand notes the Golems progress. "Well I have 2 air walk spells, one on Brawn and Elyngael can ride him into battle. As to the second spell, I guess, me. Since spells seem not to do so well on these things I can at least use the admantine hammer on them. Atlas still has his boots of flying. As to the rest of you I don't know. Suggestions?" Armand speaks around mouthfuls.
"Also I think we're going to have to go through the gate the golems used after we take care of them. Obviously Vurm was someone's underling and now it appears the upperling still has intentions to dominate the world. If those golems are not headed to this gate what gate do you think they are headed toward? I guess no matter what we need to stop them though."
OOC How high is the gate used by the golems?
Trellus - MikeK - (AC32 T14 F28, CMD 31, HP 145/145) Wednesday July 7th, 2021 6:34:48 PM
"I have boots of flying as well," Trellus volunteers.
He listens intently to the various discussions, trying to put together the direction. But, after a while, he just asks,
"I'm not quite catching on to your final pattern, I'm afraid. If the goal is to kill the golems, we should probably fly up to meet them. If the goal is to keep them out of that Sargrass portal, it seems best to go through first ourselves, so the summoners can summon, or maybe even destroy the portal on that side. If the goal is to kill whatever is sending the golems, we should probably start moving."

She then turns to Trellus, "And that is the problem. We're kinda playing it by ear. As Armand said originally the plan was to route out the source of the golem production, but that was on the assumption it was back in the Sargrass somewhere. Now it appears it's through that gate way over there. But we can't just bypass the golems and let them circle around if they are heading for the Sargrass....not that we're the Sargrass's defenders."

'Osul keeps one eye on the golems and what they are up to. Not being a military tactician, he shares... "They haven't demonstrated much self preservation, and having had some experience flying I'm wondering if they might just hurl themselves from their increasing height at us or the foot of the portal?"
"...and it wouldn't matter where in The Wold it opened up because all of it is at risk. I wish I knew their rules and the rules of this place, but even without that we stand up."

Trellus revealed that he too had boots of flying, then offers up a tactic to use against the golems.
Vamir cast barkskin on Trellus and offered windwalk and stoneskin to those that wanted it.
Elyngael explained that they couldn't allow the golems to pass even though they didn't consider themselves the Sargrasses defenders.
Osul watched the golems and suggested that the golems might just hurl themselves at the wardens or the portal.
During the meal the golems had made good time and with the wardens sitting upon the ground at the foot of the portal time passed quickly. Soon the golems were about a mile out, though still high in the air.

DM(James M) - Map - Raindrops, Irondrops, or Iron Drops? Friday July 9th, 2021 8:57:32 AM
The wardens choosing to fly upwards to meet the golems spend the next fourteen minutes flying almost directly up to meet the glowing iron creatures. As they draw closer they can see that these are indeed the same type of glowing golems they encountered on the Sargrass. Huge iron constructs with vestigial wings that defied any logic as to how they managed to work.
With a loud creaking noise akin to rusty grating metal rubbing against itself one of the golems turned to look down at the wardens and simply dropped out of the sky.
DM: I've updated the map, but running through every round to close the 3000' distance would be rather tedious, so if you are flying up to meet the golems state that in your post as well as your flying movement rate. If you are staying on the ground note your location on the map. Encounter range will start at 200'. Also please list any spells that have a short duration and might expire during the fight. Range increments for firing bows upward are halved, so a longbow incurs a -2 to hit for every 55' upwards. At the encounter range (200') there is a -4 to hit. Movement rate upwards is also halved. Also unless your flight device allows for running you cannot exceed the stated movement for your device. i.e. a Fly spell has a fixed movement rate, which is halved when flying upwards. Since everything falls at the same rate. 720' per round, if you choose to fall along with the golem you will be able to keep up with it. Pulling up out of that dive is a DC 30 flight check. For every 100' from the ground you choose to pull out of the fall the DC is reduced by 2. If you fail the flight check you hit the ground at terminal velocity.
You can safely move twice your movement downwards without making a flight check.
About 30 seconds before there could be any kind of contact between the party and golems, Neshi pauses to summon his friends (this action was posted a couple of post prior) and casts summon monster VII and hopefully three huge air elementals are soon flying nearby.
arcane spell failure roll 14
Neshi then flies within 150 feet and cast sleet storm above as much of the group as can be encompassed by the spell. Hoping to slow down as many of them as he can.
DM: By the spell failure roll if I'm reading it right, the spell failed.

'Osul tries (28% vs 20% - yes!) to summon a Cloud Giant, who he asks to defend and barry the portal. Osul casts Mass Cat's Grace and Mass Bear's Endurance on everyone nearby, before casting Bull's Strength on Cirlele and Control Wind (SR: No, Fort save) 600' radius (excluding 40' diameter calm eye around Cirlele and the portal) and 40' high - Tornado or Hurricane force updraft. Call it an emergency landing cushion.
Once that is in place he chases after the rest of the Wardens at a clip (120' flight (perfect), x4 run, and willing to try catching the edge of the updraft for a boost)

Like Armand, Trellus is using his Air Walk spell to run upwards toward the golems.
He keeps pace with Armand so as not to string out the team.
At around 300', he pauses long enough to cast a Shield of Faith spell on himself. And then keeps moving.

When the golems are about 1000' away, Owen sends a Freezing Sphere hurtling their way. They must make a DC 23 reflex save or take 45 cold damage.
Atlas Sunowl (Trey) AC:34(T16 FF28),CMD:33,HP:153/153 Sunday July 11th, 2021 11:28:29 PM
Atlas looks up, then quickly down again as the golem drops below them faster than he can blink. Assuming someone is still on the ground to intercept it, he continues upward with Armand, confident that El's bow and the other's magic will take these things out before he can do anything useful. "Another walk in the park. Don't worry though, when some power magician comes around with an anti-magic sphere I'm your guy."
DM(James M) - Map - Round 1, Fight! d20=11 ; d20=11 ; d20=13 ; Monday July 12th, 2021 10:30:57 AM Neshi raced upwards towards the golems and tried to summon some elementals then cast sleet storm.
Osul summoned a cloud giant to protect the portal on the ground then followed the others into the sky.
Armand flew upwards towards the golems.
Trellus flew towards the golems and then stopped to cast Shield of Faith
Elyngeal moved upwards and fired two arrows.
Owen cast freezing sphere.
Neshi's sleet storm blasted three of the golems and blinded them. Each tried to fly up and over the storm. All three managed to dodge most of the sleet and ice to gain altitude or dodge to the side. As the sleet and ice fell outside of it's area of effect however it melted quickly and turned into a localized rain cloud. Below a cloud giant appeared out of thin air to stand in front of the portal. It nodded at Osul and started swinging it's enormous morning star as it waited for someone to approach the portal.
Elyngael's arrows struck true on the fourth golem. As the electricity arced over it the golem became white hot and jets of molten iron started to erupt from it's skin.
The first three being hit by the sleet storm slowed somewhat as the magic behind what made them fly and what cooled them slowed them down while allowing them to stay aloft. Wings beat in slow motion but they didn't fall, it was all very strange.
The one golem unaffected by the icy storm advanced on Elyngael as she fired arrows at it. Meanwhile the fifth golem plummeted toward the ground in a controlled fall.
Perception DC 15 Highlight to display spoiler: {The falling golem seems intent on hitting someone on the ground and that's going to hurt.}
The last falling golem was hit squarely by Owens freezing sphere, but it did no damage. It did however appear to slow the golem's movements so that it's fall was no longer as controlled as it might have been otherwise. ________ gm1, slowed gm2, slowed gm3, slowed gm4, Damage 49 hp, Molten eruption gm5, falling.
DM: Scale below 200' is approximate. That freezing sphere is 1000' up as Owen intended.

Trellus continued to fly towards the golems.
Elyngeal fired two arrows.
Owen attempts to dodge the incoming falling golem.
Vamir cast stoneskin as he ascended and once he came into range of the golems cast metal to wood, then as the one falls past him he tries to polymorph it.
Atlas continues his ascent towards the golems.
Neshi's lightning bolt cracked across the sky hitting the three golems. As the bolt passed through them each started glowing white hot with jets of molten iron seemingly coming out of their pores.
Vamir successfully cast his stoneskin spell on Armand, then unsuccessfully cast polymorph on the falling golem. His metal to wood spell also failed. doing a little catch up here - DM
Elyngaels arrows once more struck true, but as the golem had turned white hot during her last attacks there was something different about it.

'Osul gladly casts the Control Winds spell he didn't the time for earlier (and a good thing too), placing it immediatley beneath himself (so he would be standing on it if not flying). It may be too late to stop the first drop-golem, but here's hoping this catches the others off guard - being notoriously difficult to see.

I don't think I need to make a flight check but I'd say I'd have to make a move action to 'stand-up'. That would leave me another move action and if allowed I'd like to move up 15 feet. Please let me know.
I'm unclear of your map indications, if a person is falling shouldn't they be falling with the golem? As all objects fall at the same rate does the person have the ability to make melee attacks? If golem 2 fell then shouldn't it be 750 feet down with those that are falling?[/i]

DM: As I stated, some of you may not have to make a check if your mode of flying prevents you from falling. If you fail a save then you'd be knocked prone.

[Reflex saves 25 and 16]
Trellus keeps climbing toward one golem, when all of a sudden, another one comes crashing down into him. The man is knocked down, but fortunately avoids the molten iron the golem spurts out as it hurtles past.
Also, fortunately, he's air walking, not flying.
The fellow climbs up to a standing position, and casts another spell on himself (Divine Power).

Vamir appears confused as he watches his comrades do battle with the golems. The elven witch shakes his head softly, and looks around, (perception DC 26) as he tries to think of away to perhaps close a few of the portals. Vamir says a quiet word under his breath, asking the crones for a littel wisdom, and knowledge as he and Melzat begin flying towards the closest portal they did not arrive through.

Atlas is burned and crushed by the falling golem, but he manages to move just enough to avoid the worst of it. However, he decides now is a good time to do something stupid and let's the creature knock him from the air. He starts falling with it, attacking it with everything he has while crashing towards the ground. His grin is priceless, but he has not yet realized that he's not sure how to recover his flight.

Armand dodged the golem in an effort to avoid the molten iron spray of it's aura. DM: I feel like my miserable map and explanation caused you to burn a hero point. Please add that point back.
Neshi cast cone of cold on the golems.
Trellus cast Divine Power
Elyngeal fired four arrows.
Vamir moves to try an close a portal.
Owen cast stoneskin on himself.
Atlas fell with the golem as they bash each other during the fall.
Neshi's cone of cold shot out from his fingertips and struck the lead golem heading towards him. It's effect was readily evident. First, the golem stopped glowing white and seemed to harden as it turned to a light gray color with fractures running through it. Second, the molten spray of it's aura stopped completely as did it's healing ability that Elyngael noticed with the fourth one. Lastly, though the wings still beat furiously the golem was moving slower than before.
Elyngael fired the arrows, but only one of the four struck the golem and it seemed like it was still fluid enough to heal some of it's damage. DM: Fast Healing 7
A burst of water exploded around the wardens and the golems fighting above Osuls windy conjuration. It's effects were visible and immediate. Instantly a cloud of steam erupted from the two golems not already effected by Neshi's cone of cold and their aura's were dispelled. They still had that red glow as if molten however and seemed to have taken no damage from the water, though they were slowed somewhat.
The first golem must have felt it met it's match and just stopped flying and fell like the others, however when it hit the updraft Neshi placed beneath them it was bouyed up for the moment, or it's fall was slowed as it looked like it would continue falling but perhaps take a few seconds to fall through the windy area.
The second golem that was falling with Atlas grinned and lashed out at the man and hit him twice. The strength of those blows could not be denied as Atlas felt them through the magic of his protective spell.
Atlas Highlight to display spoiler: {Make a reflex save DC 15 or take 15 hp from fire}
The third golem flew towards Neshi. He was clearly a threat.
The fourth golem moved up to Elygeal and struck out at her again. Both of it's fists hit the elf. The stoneskin spell worked as it did before, but she still felt those heavy blows.

DM: Near as I can tell since the two types of DR have the same numerical value you'd pick the best one for a given situation. So DR10/Adamantine and DR10/Evil means if an evil weapon hits you, you get 10 DR because it isn't adamantine, and if an adamantine weapon hits you you get Dr 10 because it isn't evil. A normal weapon would only get DR 10 and not 20 because the two don't stack. In the case of these golems you'd still only get a Damage Resistance of 10.

Vamir looked at one of the portals and touched it.
Atlas continues his ascent towards the golems.
Armand and then Trellus struck the fourth flying golem causing it to fracture and fall from the sky in several pieces. Molten hot bits would rain down on those below very soon.
Vamir moved up to one of the portals, but he was too far away to tell what exactly he did. A moment later he and Melzat were gone. A second later the portal vanished as well.

Elyngael shot her arrows at the falling golem, but the wind that was partially bouying up the five thousand pound construct caused her arrows to miss as they were blown away.
Neshi cast web and fragments of willowly substance flew about but didn't have the intended effect of binding the golems wings. A moment later Neshi's second spell lashed out and nearly caused the golem to burst into pieces.
Osul casts create water into the wind and the updraft causes the water to burst upward in a reverse rain shower soaking everyone above the windy conjuration.
The third golem suddenly found itself alone and like a few of the others decided that flight just wasn't the best option for it, so it fell...directly through Osul. As soon as it hit the zone of wind however it's fall slowed and it lashed out at Osul with it's stretchy limbs hitting the man once with it's molten stretchy arm.

The fifth golem also decided it was time to pull up out of it's fall, but it was far too late. All it could do was try to hit something on the ground and it targeted the giant in front of the portal. It's aura touched upon the giant and then that five thousand pound mass smashed into the giant. The giant flew back as it tried to dodge but didn't make it out of the way as the golem plowed into it and then a few feet into the ground. As the golem lay prone the Cloud Giant struck at the golem with it's morning star and hit it twice. As the second blow came down upon the golem it fractured into tiny little pieces..dead.
DM: Pulling up out of the dive is a DC 30 flight check. For every 100' from the ground you choose to pull out of the fall the DC is reduced by 2. If you fail the flight check you hit the ground at terminal velocity. Present altitude is 900', so the DC to pull out is 12.

Atlas takes his beating and keeps on ticking, but even he can see that if he keeps at it he's going to likely die, so he disengages with the golem and activates his boots of flying by yelling "Fly". There's a moment of high drama as the little wings start flapping and nothing happens, but Atlas has grown skilled with these boots and is able to make the necessary adjustments to break his fall and maintain his altitude. He gives the golem a wave as he watches it plunge to the ground.
As a secondary thought he decides to yell to the others below, "He's not going to be able to stop, and that cloud giant is his likely landing spot, clear out!"

If that direction is down you do not need to make a fly check to pull up out of your dive. If you choose to fall you do so normally. RobC said 500' but terminal velocity is 720', but what he was getting at is that to stop a fall before that 500' mark is met requires a DC10 check, afterwards the check is automatic. Now, the biggest issue here is that I've been using my own set of table rulings to govern both you and the monsters, so I'd like for my rules to carry through for the remainder of this combat. (Call it a special property of the Pocket Realm.) Afterwards we can switch to the official interpretation.

Trellus grinned and then in irritation also headed downward.
Elyngeal asked about Vamir and then she and Brawn headed downward.
Owen called out to Vamir as he realized the portal Vamir just used is not the one they needed.
Atlas halts his descent as he watched the golem continue it's fall.
Osul reduced the effect of the wind.
As the heroes all started to descend, with the sole exception of Atlas who didn't need to hit the ground just yet, Osul eased the updraft. The net result was that the golems that were caught in the wind started to fall once more. Both decided that they'd rather fight as their tiny wings lifted them upward towards the heroes.
The third golem extended it's fist on an elongated arm and smashed Osul as did the first golem to Elyngael. Both attacks rattled the heroes as the magic from the stoneskin spell absorbed most of the damage. The second golem beat its wings futilely but only managed to alter its course as it was apparently destined to meet its end smashing into the cloud giant as did its brother.
DM: Cloud Giant DC 15 reflex save next round to avoid the falling golem.
Neshi was hovering when he heard a popping noise and a portal appeared briefly and deposited a figure that promptly started to fall. Another popping noise and the portal was gone, but the figure continued falling. It was going to hurt when he hit the ground.

Elyngeal shot four arrows, two of which hit the golem.
Owen backed away from the falling golems.
Moridark casts fly and slows as he looks around for a clue as to his location.
The golems were moving slowly as they advanced upon the Wardens. The one that was still glowing it's orangey color stretched out it's arm as the others had and struck Elyngael. The other was grey and slow as it lashed out at Trellus twice and missed both times.
On the ground, or very near it, Owen and the cloud giant guarded the portal. The falling golem aimed directly at the giant, but the canny titan stepped to the side at the last moment like a crafty bird avoiding an anvil. The golem plowed into the ground much like it's brother, but unlike the previous construct this one managed to keep itself together as it flared to life. As it did so the molten jets of iron shot out at the nearby giant.

Moridark continues flying down, and as he the human standing next to the portal disappears becomes nervous.

Atlas looks about, a bit disoriented from the fall and all the spinning. He's sure that if he put his mind to it he could have fallen more gracefully, but it isn't something you get to practice that often. Once he gets his bearings, he takes a look around and is even more confused. To no one in particular, "Who's that guy? We have new people popping up everywhere lately."
Realizing that no one can hear him at this distance, he begins to fly back down to the ground while hoping that the golem that is falling will pass by him so he can take a swipe at it.

Elyngaels arrow tracked the falling golem like a firework streaking across the sky. When it found it's target it hit either a crack in the creature, or it found a weak spot in its construction. Either way the golem burst into a shower of molten rocky bits that would soon find their way to the ground.
The Warden's and their two new companions had prevailed. Who were these people, where did they come from, and were they friendly?

With the last golem littering the ground, Trellus stops running. He does continue descending, until he's back down and among the Wardens and the newer new guy.
The human man wears mitrhil full plate, carries a mithril shield, and wears a bastard sword at his hip. A dark red vestment covered in silver colored High Woldian symbols hangs over his armor. Both shield and armor have an upright hammer centered upon them, and centered in the hammer on his chestplate is a WLA Badge (Guardian Rank).
He nods to Atlas. "Many Shadows. I'm Trellus. I escaped the destruction of the Sargrass by jumping into a portal woven by a new god we, well, rescued from Rattledam. The other side of the portal was a cold void that I was in for, I don't know how long. Seems like a long time. Domi came to me there, and we had a long talk, and he rewove my pattern a bit, and then I popped in here just a little before you dudes did."

Moridark carefully dismounts, making sure to show his empty, gloveless hands. "I am Moridark, a scholar, and teacher. I was taking a break from other endeavors and was doing a bit of light reading on the cosmos, and dimensions. I noticed a strange pattern in the writing, and as i began to sound out what I was seeing I popped in here. Where ever here is. I feel as though this is a pocket dimension, but I would need to do more research before I state that as fact."

'Osul lands near the portal, speaks common with Cirlele, casts a spell, and sends the giant on her to from whence. He returns to the gathering, and in amongst the introductions checks who else might need healing.
"Well met." After some consideration, he speaks more broadly, and uncomfortably, "So, how do we stop the next lot coming through, or being made? Kindly get me out of this lifeless horror of a place sooner than later."

The warden's continued to get to know the newcomers and to formulate a plan even as the flat plane they were on rotated slowly until the light from the sun was almost gone. Far away in the night time sky they could see the wispy strands of substance blowing about in the ether as well as the liquid portals that floated above the ground in the distance just like bricks didn't.

Armand considers things, He is a human in mithril breast plate and wearing vestments of the cleric of Gargul. "Well Moridark, in addition to being an eye of Gargul, I am a member of the scholar's guild and hold the rank of professor sage of records. We all seem to be in the same place at least, which we've tentatively identified as the Nexus of worlds, but in reality in terms of the cosmology of the Wold it was more a Nexus of places. Dragons and powerful undead were said to have used the place as a means to travel in the Wold. This pocket dimension has elements of Air and Earth, seemed unstable, and would required something to keep it open for any length of time. Dragon magic most likely in this case."
"As for why we're here, long story short, we the Wardens of the Tree of Parting are here in pursuit of an entity that appears intent on conquering the Wold. He, she, or it appears to be sending creatures through from yonder portal." Armand points to the portal the golems came from. "I suggest we move as best we can to at least position ourselves under it before resting, as I'm not sure we have an easy way to mark it....and there appears to be a lot of these portal things in this place."

Elyngeal eyes the half-orc hard. She seems on the verge of saying something but refrains. Then she answers Trellus. "I'm not sure.

Moridark takes the time to listen to each of the Wardens, and shakes each hand in turn. For such a large being the mage has a firm, yet gentle hand shake. "I have no desire to die, or even be wounded. However, if closing that portal will allow us to return to our homes I am more than happy to throw my lot in with you.

The group hadn't been walking an hour when full darkness set in on the plane with the only remaining light coming from the whisps in the sky and those portals they happened to get close to. Meanwhile a constant breeze bent over the blades of knee high grass they walked through as the night cooled.
Getting to the portal was going to take a while....based on how long the golems took to arrive it would be near morning when they would be under the floating portal.

There was some consensus about flying up the 200' to the portal and using it as soon as possible, but Osul advocated for returning to the origin portal to regain their bearings. He wanted to make certain the portal above them was the correct one.
The weather here on this plain of planes was mild, but the distance back would take almost 8 hours of travel to get there..then there was the trip back. Meanwhile the pressure to forget where they were and what portal to take was unrelenting as they struggled to focus on where they should be going. Perhaps Osul was affected by the magic?

As each of the Warden's passed through the portal they came through and saw that they stood in another pocket dimension, amazed at sights that would be impossible in the Wold. Before you stretched a long stone bridge sixty feet wide with pylons every 30’ holding it up over a vast muddy swamp. The bridge was straight and went for as far as you could see -- miles and miles, surely -- before vanishing in the distant mist and fog that permeated the place. Rising above the mist in the distance you can see a large stone stronghold or citadel.
Perception DC 15 Highlight to display spoiler: { The stone bridge with no railings. Below the bridge is bubbling mud.}

With his Air Walk spell still in effect, he decides to use it as long as he can, remaining about 10' above the bridge. "We head toward the castle?" he asks.

'Osul moves along, offering a simple "Yes." in agreement. He slides off one side of the bridge to investigate the bubbling mud (gas?, heat?, gap between the bubbling mud and the bridge?, signs of life?). If there is room, he transits from this side to that side under the bridge and rejoins the party - otherwise he returns on the same side.
"How far does it look to the castle, and how far is it really?", he asks Trellus, and looks to engage Moridark above in the conversation also.
"Going!" _________________________________ OOC: I wonder whichth castle this is?!

Elyngael held up a hand to test the movement of the air. There was none as the mist hung in the unmoving dank humid air as the smell of rotting vegetation wafted up to those on the bridge. Trellus chose to stay in the air, hovering some ten feet above the bridge even as Armand set foot on it to test it's construction. Osul slid out over the mud and transited under the bridge.
Osul - Highlight to display spoiler: {The underside of the bridge is constructed as you'd think one would be, but he does find that there are bodies floating in the mud or are just below the surface.}
Tick tick tick tick tick...
As soon as Osul was under the bridge a swarm of angels descended on the group falling next them as their wings billowed out at the last moment to stop their fall. Each angel was metallic looking as it moved with a clicking noise and swung a flaming greatsword.

Armand can full attack, Osul has to move and attack provided he can move 60' this round. If Armand is using a reach weapon he gets an AoO as well.
If you could place yourself on the map it'll make things easier for you.

And technically they need to make the will save before they can attack me since I was not surprised.
Not sure what the size of the creature is but Armand will take a 5 foot step to be out of range. Then he will cast Bless.

Moridark shudders at the angel struck him. The mage drops down 5 feet (AA 24) on his steed to stay within the sanctuary spell.

Stepping away from the angel, he waves his hand to cast a spell, and then takes a little longer to cast another.

Elyngael brought up her weapon defensively and tried to identify the creatures.
Neshi cast chain lightning.
Moridark flew closer to the bridge and studied the creatures.
Trellis cast Shield of Faith and Protection from Energy
Neshi's chain lightning lashed out at the second Angel catching it unaware and full in the chest. It seemed as if these creatures were especially susceptible to electrical damage. The lightning arced to the next Angel and then sliced through the remaining ones. The attack was a success, but it broke Armands Divine Presence effect on Neshi.
The Angels were undaunted by the massive electrical attack as they stepped toward those that had withdrawn and with their greatswords swiped furiously at the Warden's. Blade and fire slashed around cutting and burning each of the wardens.

Recognizing that the clockwork angels are vulnerable to electricity, Owen casts Chain Lightning on C4, hitting each of the other angels with secondary bolts. They must make DC23 Reflex saves or take 56 electricity damage.
He then turns invisible and moves back towards the portal.
Osul came from under the bridge and lit up with electricity.
Trellis full attacked one of the Angels and hit it once with his sword.
Moridark started to cast a spell after he moved a way off.
Elyngael healed her wounds and started to run in the hope that she could draw them away.
Owen cast chain lightning as well.
Neshi's chain lightning lashed out once more...then again as those attacks dropped four of the angels in the process. Some hit the flagstones of the bridge, others fell into the mud below. After the smoke cleared only two remained.
Osul lit up the bridge with crackling electricity and damaged the two remaining angels even as Trellus took a five foot step and attacked the third angel in the group hitting it once but his blade was turned away by the steel like skin of the creature.
Elyngael moved off a distance, but none followed her as she'd hoped while Owen called forth his own chain lightning spell that finished off the last two angels. It was all over in 12 seconds and the Warden's had barely broken out into a sweat.
DM: Not really sure what exactly Osul is doing, but the electrical damage was effective.

Armand casts Detect Magic and looks over the golem remains as well. "Yes we should go forward. At least we can be reasonably sure we're on the right track. I think we need to be very vigilent though. I suggest one person scan forward, one to each side of the bridge, one to the gate we came through and one to the sky overhead."

Armand suggested a marching order so as to keep a look out while they traveled along the bridge.
Moridark finished his summoning and agreed they should press on. He took a position over the mud on the left side of the bridge.
Trellus was impressed with the Wardens and agreed to move forward as well.
Elyngael kept a sharp look out and moved along ready to fight.
Gears, sprockets, and springs littered the bridge as they rolled around on the flagstones and settled into the mortared joints in the blocks. Odd clicking noises continued as random bits of angel jumped about around them. Other than the noises from the destroyed constructs all was silent other than the occasional popping of a muddy bubble beneath the bridge.
Otherwise the cloying mist obscured their vision beyond a few hundred feet as the bridge stretched out into the distance. Behind them the portal had faded as if it needed to recharge before allowing anyone to pass through it once more.
Osul or Perception DC 20 (you can use your previous roll) Highlight to display spoiler: {The angels gears are exposed and in some instances still clicking as they spin down from their wound positions, but with no connections to the inner workings of them the movement is useless. Each angel has a greatsword in it's hand or nearby, but these look rusted and pitted from exposure to the elements. Interestingly they looked like the finest weapons available when the angels were using them in the battle. It's possible the magic that powers these creatures also enhanced their weapons. The sword hilts have some precious metals and small gems that would sell for a few hundred gold each, you guess.}
The bridge was level and flat which made travel along it easy enough, but the scenery never changed. Bridge, post, mist, bridge, post, mist over and over again. It was about midday when Elyngael noticed something glinting in the mud on her side of the bridge.

Armand nods to 'Osul. "Good catch. But I doubt we'll be coming back this way." He takes his adamantine hammer out and proceeds to sunder the blades leaving the hilts. These he will toss into the bag of holding.
Atlas at one time had a party bag of holding, I think that went to Kent when he volunteered as ADM? So the hilts would need to be added to the party treasure list.

Osul kept watch and decided the mist was obscuring his vision, so he cast control weather.
Armand asked about some way to remotely fetch an object.
Moridark sent his archons to collect the staff and ring.
Trellus now walking, commented that he had no useful spells to aid in retrieving the staff.
Elyngael was certain it was a trap and said so while she kept an eye on the surrounding misty area.
Neshi agreed that he thought it was a trap, but admitted that the staff and ring might have value.
Owen watched the staff as the archons brought the items back.
As soon as the control weather spell was cast a 3 mile bubble of clear sky formed around the wardens. They could see the bridge continued on for as far as they could see, unchanging in it's appearance.
The archons swept down out of the sky and between the three of them collected the staff and hand so as to bring it back to Moridark. Meanwhile the mud continued it's bubbling as the noxious fumes from the marsh forced their way to the surface.

Then to the group in general. "I mean really, who makes a quasi-demi-plane and then puts the entrance so far from their home? It doesn't make sense. Are we missing something?" Armand trudges along the walkway.

DM: Moving things along unless you'd like to stop and talk a bit....
The rest of the day was mostly uneventful, the sky was clear (out to 3 miles) and nothing bothered them other than the smell of the swamp below them. Late afternoon when they stopped a moment to hydrate and take in their surroundings one of their number noticed a frog like creature a couple of miles distant. That it was visible from where they stood was a testament to it's size. It was easily the size of a dragon as it languished in the muddy swamp. You could faintly hear it croaking in the distance as well, but it made no move towards you. You suspected it didn't even see you moving along the bridge.
Another curiosity was that you encountered some wraith like beings that resembled people moving the opposite direction along the bridge. You could stand in front of them and they'd stop, but unless impeded in such a way they said or did nothing that would alarm the wardens. They were harmless. As evening approached you started to encounter them more frequently and quite possibly another reason the large frog beast wasn't alarmed by your presence on the bridge. It simply couldn't tell you apart from the ghosts.
Unless there is something specific you'd like to do you can set up camp and watches for the night.

Moridark continue his flight to the left of the party, and tells the archons good bye in celestial prior to their leaving. The mage attempts to identify the huge frog like creature (Nature: 49, Arcana: 33, Religion: 46, Dungeoneering: 43, Planes: 34) Moridark becomes curious about the wraiths, and tries to interact with them, saying hello in every language he knows, and then attempts to idenitfy them(Nature: 33, Arcana: 30 Religion: 29, Dungeoneering: 38, Planes: 52)
As night approaches the mage looks about, "I do not relish a night exposed and in the open as we are. Not to mention I could do with a decent meal, and bed to slppe in. If you don't mind I think I will prepare us a proper place to sleep." With that the mage casts Mage's Magnificent Mansion. As he does so he points to each of those in the party, and when done smiles, "Each of you will hve a room, and a full belly. Naught may harm us inside, and we can rest until morning safely. ' Moridark walks through the slightly shimmering portal, and waits for the others..
OOC: You conjure up an extradimensional dwelling that has a single entrance on the plane from which the spell was cast. The entry point looks like a faint shimmering in the air that is 4 feet wide and 8 feet high. Only those you designate may enter the mansion, and the portal is shut and made invisible behind you when you enter. You may open it again from your own side at will. Once observers have passed beyond the entrance, they are in a magnificent foyer with numerous chambers beyond. The atmosphere is clean, fresh, and warm.
You can create any floor plan you desire to the limit of the spell's effect. The place is furnished and contains sufficient foodstuffs to serve a nine-course banquet to a dozen people per caster level. A staff of near-transparent servants (as many as two per caster level), liveried and obedient, wait upon all who enter. The servants function as unseen servant spells except that they are visible and can go anywhere in the mansion.
Since the place can be entered only through its special portal, outside conditions do not affect the mansion, nor do conditions inside it pass to the plane beyond.
At this level the total space is 45 10 foot cubes, and it will last for 30 hours.

Inside the mansion nothing bothers the wardens and the souls on the bridge continue moving since they can't enter nor does it impede their movement. The next morning the souls are gone as it seemed it was just a group of them moving together. The wardens continued on in their bubble of clear sky for another day of travel and forty miles along the bridge before they arrived at the citadel.
The citadel itself was hundreds of feet tall with a set of gate doors 30' wide each. Both doors were standing open with a ten foot wide opening between them. Inside you can see seven portals arranged in a semi circle in the courtyard. Each of the portals flashes briefly with scenes from the other side, or so it seems. The walls of the interior of the courtyard are smooth and without a means of passing through them.

Artmand asked Owen about pocket dimensions and then examined the construction of the place.
Osul mentioned that he saw a signpost in one of the portals.
Elyngael found tracks and said as much to the others.
Moridark examined the portals.
Trellus suggested they close the portal from the other side.
Flying around the citadel it becomes immediately clear that whomever created this pocket realm never intended for anyone to circle the castle. As soon as any of the flying wardens get far enough away from the bridge the castle just ends. Stones vanish and there is no back. In fact looking from the back side of the castle they see nothing at all, not even the bridge and the free windows on the side of the structure they can see show a room with 7 portals and people that look identical to those in the courtyard.
The people on the ground find that a close examination of the structure shows that as the blocks and structural supports get farther from the portals they flatten out as if painted upon a canvas. The texture and joints in the mortar are simply optical illusions created by masterful strokes of a brush. Unlike a canvas however the walls are impenetrable. This place is barely hanging on to it's reality and no telling what it will do to its inhabitants should it collapse upon its own magical weight.
As for the portals, each was suspended by magic inches from the ground with no frame around it. No rotating steel structure, rock circle, or anything that might be able to be knocked down or broken. Just a simple glowing puddle of water on its side.

“The portal shimmers as you step through to find yourselves with the ruins of a castle that was once much like the one you came from a moment prior. The portal on this side flashes and fades from sight almost immediately after you arrive. You can feel the haunts in this place as your blood runs cold, but those that haunt this place are being deathly quiet in the presence of the Wardens.
You can see a game trail leading off to the south and what might be a road some fifty yards distant. On a pedestal before you in the darkened entryway is an evil looking green object that casts an eerie glow upon the ground around it. As you look it pulses with an evil strobing effect.”

Armand looks around. "Which wood are you talking about?" He looks around slightly puzzled. Then his eyes see the green glowing rock. He then casts Detect Magic and examines the rock from a distance of about 10 feet.

Moridark shrugs off whatever effect tugging at his mind (will save DC 30). "Well this is rather interesting," the mage says eyeing the stone from what he hopes is a safe distance. Moridark casts detect magic and looks at the stone, and then attempts to decipher what it may be with his spellcraft (DC 38). The mage then mentally flips though his brain in an attempt to place where he may have seen such an object. (Arcana: 27, Planes: 42, Dungeoneering: 44, Nature: 31, Relgion: 42)

"Yes, which is The Wood?" Trellus asks, echoing Armand.
The others investigate the woods or the green object, Trellus looks at the ground. "Can anyone tell where the golems came from?" he asks. [Perception 25]
Huge Air Elemental-'Osul(Graham) AC:16 (T:12, FF:12), CMD:28, ST:(F12/R11/W23 + RNL), HP:96/96, Wildshape(XVII):7, L. Lord:13, S. Burst:14 d20+36=48 ; d20+50=52 ; Monday August 16th, 2021 11:30:01 AM "The Wood? The Culverwood. The place The Tree of Parting departed. My childhood playground, my larder, home, teacher, mentor, and the source of my druidic power. We are walking within/about an Immortal Power."
'Osul joins in with Trellus, looking for any indication of the golems having passed this way. {Perception: 48, Survival(Tracking): 52}
DM(James M) - Map - Pedestals and Portals Monday August 16th, 2021 11:37:47 AM Osul didn't seem affected by the evil aura that suffused the area. He then exclaimed they were in the Wood. He also confirmed Neshi's question.
Neshi looked around and then cast detect magic.
Armand also wasn't alarmed or shaken by the aura and asked about the "Wood". He also cast Detect Magic and looked the device over.
Elyngael took a short walk around the area to see what she could see.
Moridark was also unaffected by the evil aura.
Owen helped Moridark examine the stone.
Trellus asked about the golems.
Neshi - Highlight to display spoiler: {The device on the pedestal is definitely what is holding the portal open. It seemed to also be recharging. You estimate it'll take 5 to 6 days to fully recharge. Touching it might not be a good idea.}
Armand and Moridark - Highlight to display spoiler: {The device on the pedestal is definitely what is holding the portal open. It seemed to also be recharging. You estimate it'll take 5 to 6 days to fully recharge. You suspect that the entire pocket dimension is being fueled by this device, Maybe not the nexus of portals, but certainly the bridge with the trapped souls. It was also looking like the order of the portals on the bridge were randomized, but this place is certainly the source of the magic holding the pocket realms together.}
Elyngael - Highlight to display spoiler: {The ruins mirrored the citadel on the bridge very closely however none of the walls were higher than twenty feet and some were crumbling in places. The inside of the place would be easily accessed. As she ranged out towards the south she saw that there was indeed a road of sorts with tracks showing recent activity. None of those tracks headed north toward the ruins however. In fact the only tracks she could find in that area between the road and the ruins were of small game. She could see further down the road that there was a signpost.}
Owen - Highlight to display spoiler: {He looked at the stone closely and spotted a hairline fracture running through the key gem in the construction. The device would shatter easily if thrown to the ground and effectively destroy it. He suspected that the aura he and the others felt is what had prevented anyone from coming near to interfere with it. He also saw a single foot print next to the objects location. }
Elyngael, Perception DC 25 Highlight to display spoiler: {From down the road you can make out the words written on the signpost and the direction the arrows point. Bywater Bay - 10 Miles - North, EvenOak - 5 Miles - East, Tharn - 140 Miles - South, Effacia - 70 Miles - West, Troll. }
The wood seems quiet and undisturbed here near the ruins and the evil object. No tracks or evidence of anything can been seen in the area.
The pedestal itself sat in an enclosed and crumbling area with what appeared to be the only part of the structure with a roof. Inside the darkened area where the pedestal sat was choked with cobwebs. Small, normal spiders lay starving in their webs as they looked for insects that would never appear and wander into their traps. The walls to either side of the pedestal looked unstable and the iron bound wooden door at the back was half blocked with rocky debris from what looked like part of the ceiling near it. The area beyond the door was hidden from above by weeds and underbrush, no telling what evil lurked within that dusty edifice.
Armand (Robert D)AC 25 /touch 11/flat 24 HP 112/112 CMD 24 Character Sheet Monday August 16th, 2021 5:32:42 PM
Armand finishes studying the crystal. "Well that thing fairly reeks of evil. I wish I had a consecrate spell just to annoy it. In any cast that crystal on the pedestal is definitely what is holding the portal open. It seemed to also be recharging. I think it'll take 5 to 6 days to fully recharge. In my opinion the entire pocket dimension is being fueled by this device, Maybe not the nexus of portals, but certainly the bridge with the trapped souls. It was also looking like the order of the portals on the bridge were randomized, but this place is certainly the source of the magic holding the pocket realms together. I'd like to destroy it somehow while it's in recharge mode. Anyone have any ideas?"
Armand pauses briefly. "I do have a shatter spell I can try on it. Then there's my adamantine hammer, or if we want to stay further back I'm sure Elyngael would be willing to shoot it with an adamantine arrow. I sort of doubt a dispel magic is going to work on it, maybe a greater dispel magic? Also I have Stone Shape, maybe we can seal it up. Those are just my thoughts."

Neshi looks like he is about to speak when her hears what he learned being spoken so stays quiet not needing to add to the clamor, so-to-speak. When the question of destroying it comes up he perks up a bit more.
I have always found that extreme hot followed by extreme cold often does the trick. And Perhaps a disintegrate spell would do the trick as well.

Moridark exhales, "The device on the pedestal is definitely what is holding the portal open, and it seems to be recharging. Based on some quick calculations it will take 5 to 6 days to fully recharge. If I had to guess the entire pocket dimension is being fueled by this device,. Perhaps not the nexus of portals, but certainly the bridge with the trapped souls. It also looks like the order of the portals on the bridge was randomized, but this place is certainly the source of the magic holding these pocket realms together."
Moridark looks around, at the others, "Idon't have a dispel magic available today to attempt to destroy this item."

Elyngael says, "Those ruins over there to the north sort of look like the citadel we left. There's no tracks of any kind around here except some small game. There's a road to the south. Perception d20+21=40. "There's a signpost on the road: north 10 miles, Bywater Bay; East 5 miles, EvenOak; 140 miles southi is Tharn; and 70 miles west is Effacia. Some one wrote Troll after that."

Owen says to the others, "Look closely: you can see a faint hairline fracture in the gem. I don't think we need to get too fancy with this. I'll bet if we threw it against a stone or something it would shatter."
Owen also takes time to inspect the footprint he spotted next to the pedestal. Perception: 33.

'Osul is a little confused, but cannot put his finger on why. He takes a flight to the signpost and looks carefully.
OOC: What happened to our regional map in which The Tree occupied a full hex to the north of the East-West Trading road?

Well I myself wouldn't recommend actually touching it, myself, but I do have a dispel available as well as a disintegrate. Shall I try the dispel first and then we take it from there?
DM(James M) - Map - Pedestals and Portals Tuesday August 17th, 2021 2:48:19 PM Armand suggested using a shatter spell or his hammer.
Neshi discovered that he wasn't the only one to divine the nature of the stone upon the pedestal.
Trellus thought about how to destroy the artifact.
Moridark explained what he could tell about the device.
Elyngael reported on what she had seen.
Owen explained that he detected a fracture in the stone.
Osul flew off to the signpost.
Trellus - Highlight to display spoiler: {In most cases artifacts are very hard to destroy, but in this instance it seems the creator was working at the edge of his ability. The crack in the stone shows that the magic is tenuous at best. He thought that Owen might be right about how to break the device, but doing so might bring with it it's own set of problems.}
Osul - Highlight to display spoiler: { You emerge from the woods surrounding the ruins and see a small road that leads to a nearby crossroads. There a signpost shows direction and distance to local areas.
"Castle Surrender" 20 miles North “Bywater Bay - 10 Miles” North “EvenOak - 5 Miles.” East “Tharn - 140 Miles” South “Effacia - 70 Miles” West “Troll - xx miles” - Southeast, but there is no road in that direction and the distance is obscured by wear and age of the sign
The signs for the castle and Troll are old and faded. It's likely Elyngael didn't get close enough to read them.
DM: The map here gets all wonky. I do have one but it's been changed a few times. I'll send it to you via email.

A few puffy clouds fly by overhead as distant birds sing their songs, or challenges, or squawks of indignation at the interruption in their day. Meanwhile the weary Wardens ponder over the plane shifting artifact in front of them.
Armand (Robert D)AC 25 /touch 11/flat 24 HP 112/112 CMD 24 Character Sheet Tuesday August 17th, 2021 5:30:19 PM "Hmm. Well let's save the hammer for last. I'd rather destroy that thing from a distance or at least inactive it." Armand walks around the area for a bit to try and orient himself. He eyes the ruins. "Ruins. Typical place for something up to no good to lurk. Even though it's still early for making a camp we have been marching for a while in that other plane. Maybe we should encamp and contemplate things before we make any action. I'd sure like to know who created that thing. I'm not sure a scrying of any sort is going to work."
Armand chooses a place a ways off from the artifact, preferable where's there's already some trees. Then he activates his seed glove and has the tree and treehouse form.
Trellus - MikeK - (AC36 T18 F32, CMD 35, HP (145/145) Tuesday August 17th, 2021 7:12:41 PM
Trellus moves off with Armand, agreeing to wait for morning and prepare better. "Spiritual Weapon might work as well," he notes. "If all it needs is good whack."
The man starts in surprise at Armand's treehouse.
"Shady," he remarks, moving into the space and looking about.

Moridark starts for just a moment as Armand activates the treehouse, "That is interesting to say the least. You should let me know if this is something you can cast daily. I will let my mansion sit in my spell book and memorize something else that may be helpful." Moridark flies to the top of the tree, and then slowly descends looking at each level.
"I am all for destroying this thing now as I have a full complement of spells, but Iwill defer to those who have a bit more practical, rather than academic experience."

Trellus suggests spiritual weapon.

Elyngael went hunting.
Owen threw the gem against the wall.
Neshi
Osul arrived just as Owen grabbed the stone.
Owen - Highlight to display spoiler: {The footprint on the ground wasn't special except that it looked to be from a sandal and not a boot or shoe.}
Owen grabbed the device and a coldness gripped his being as he tossed it against the ancient stone wall. As the gem shattered the entire area was obscured in impenetrable black sulfurous smoke that issued forth from the broken device.
--- HUNTING ---
Elyngael - Highlight to display spoiler: { Elyngeal traveled into the woods a small distance as she hunted. She was finding it exceptionally difficult and though she was successful in bagging a few birds it shouldn't be this hard. It shouldn't have happened and she could only assume that it did because she was moving and they weren't but she suddenly found herself surrounded by men with arrows pointed at her head. "Here now missy. Just put the birds down an' yer weapons and we'll talk this through nice an' easy." said one that looked like the leader.
A second one piped up. "Yeah, and drop yer belt pouch too and whatever else yer got money in."
Elyngeal was out of earshot of the others and about a mile out from the ruins. Brawn was at the moment doing the flushing for her so he was hidden in the forest and just out of sight. She suspected these men hadn't seen him.
She can try to yell for help. Make a Con Check. }

Armand replies to Moridark. "Basically I can do this whenever. It only takes 10 minutes for the tree to grow and 10 minutes for it to shrink back down. Your mansion thing might be a bit more secure though." Then he see's the cloud suddenly spurt up. "Oh my." Then he hears Brawn roar "That's Brawn's angry roar."
