Trellus also tried to escape the area.
Elyngael was hunting, but Brawn's howl could clearly be heard to the south.
Armand set up the tree and explained it to Moridark.
Neshi ran south into the woods and crossed the road in his attempt to come to Elyngaels aid.
Osul cast control winds and it seemed to be working somewhat, but it would take a moment to clear the smoke from the enclosed area surrounding the pedestal.
Moridark waited and watched.
Elyngael - Highlight to display spoiler: {Although you did mention nuts and berries you didn't say how far away and something about the area here makes finding food nearby tough. The birds were targets of opportunity flushed out by Brawn. Also, she was in hunting mode so she wasn't surprised, but they did have their weapons out already.
Although Elyngaels first attack used two arrows fired at the same target the bandit leader went down with the first arrow and the second skimmed past to kill another. The third arrow dropped Mr. Smart mouth, as the fourth dropped with the next one as did the fifth. Five arrows, five bandits dead. Still there were fourteen remaining as Brawn had a sixth in tatters hanging from his jaws.
There was a hail of arrows coming from all directions but Elyngael and Brawn jumped and twisted to avoid them all. The bandits still outnumbered the hunters and it looked as if they remained confident in their eventual victory. Elyngael was confident in her own way. These bandits clearly didn't know who they had decided to pick on.
}
Neshi ran south, crossed the road, and into the treeline just on the other side. He could hear fighting, but still couldn't see anything. There were a lot of screams coming from the woods ahead somewhere in the distance. Someone was dying.

Armand stops. Torn by the need to rescue Elyngael there is also the fact that apparently Owen just destroyed the device keeping the portal open a dark clouds erupted. Further, Brawn sounded a goodly ways off, and he's not sure how soon he could get there. He runs back toward the artifact.
I'm not sure where Armand should be on the map. Last round, I guess we're in rounds he said he would activate his boots of speed and run toward Elyngael, but I'm not sure you caught that from what you posted as Armand's action. So this round he's running back to his starting point.

OOC: You banish the subject into an extra-dimensional labyrinth. Each round on its turn, it may attempt a DC 20 Intelligence check to escape the labyrinth as a full-round action. If the subject doesn’t escape, the maze disappears after 10 minutes, freeing the subject.
On escaping or leaving the maze, the subject reappears where it had been when the maze spell was cast. If this location is filled with a solid object, the subject appears in the nearest open space. Spells and abilities that move a creature within a plane, such as teleport and dimension door, do not help a creature escape a maze spell, although a plane shift spell allows it to exit to whatever plane is designated in that spell.

"Ok if we have a moment or two, who's going to be frontline and wants a stone skin." Neshi will cast two on the first two who say yes.
"Also what you describe sounds like we could use something to strengthen our resolve (will) so-to-speak."
I too may have a couple of spells that will work on our "friend" but I get the feeling we will need to do it in huge chunks and quickly.

Moridark dismisses the elemental and offers up some magic circles from evil. (Neshi says that he would like one.)
Armand greets the three retuning members with a wave and awaits the discussion about to happen.
Ely asks Armand for a blessing on her weapon. and moves so as to better position herself.
Trellus mentions he has a few spells that should do some damage. And then mentions he could use a bit of buffing. (stone skin applied DR10 Adamantine 150/150, 150 minutes)
Osul offers some buffing to Trellus as well, and suggests kind of sarcastically that the Wardens are going to needs something if they want to win this one.

As a supernatural type power, that's going to ignore his spell resistance.

Moridark looks over at both Armand, and Trellus. "At best we have 20 minutes until the demon returns. I will cast Protection from Evil on both of you at the five minute mark if the demon doesn't return before then, or upon his aarrival Iwill cast it on Armand, and then you Trellus. Also, Armand would a wall of some sort help protect you, and still allow you to channel to hurt this demon?"

In the absence of the demon the sky above seemed to clear and the evil aura that made everyone feel ill at ease faded somewhat. Elsewhere the demon fought to escape the maze it had been banished to.
Moments, seconds really, passed and the demon was back with a roar of frustration.

last round Armand just talked (although he was going to cast Bless Weapon on Elyngael's bow before the 10 minute minimum time limit ran out but if the demon reappeared as quickly as you say I guess he would not have had a chance to do that). This round he casts Magic Circle against evil. (spell resistance check 28, so if that beat his resistance he can't come within 10 feet of me). "Moridark, I don't believe a wall spell will help with regards to what I need to do." Armand steps between and slight forward of Elyngael and Trellus.

Trellus happily volunteers to be front line, and takes the Stone Skin buff. He also casts Protection from Energy (fire) on himself.
Hearing the demon will show up sometime in the next 20 minutes is sunbaked. The man waits 8 minutes, and then casts a spell upon himself (Owls Wisdom).
Its a waiting game at that point.
The demon appears. Trellus casts a Quickened Shield of Faith, followed by a blast of holy energy, and draws his sword.

The demon was buffeted by the attack from Trellus, but remained unphazed otherwise as it raised a hand. A moment later a flaming portal appeared behind it and it stepped through. A moment after that and it and the portal were gone.
Immediately afterwards the sun seemed to shine a little brighter, birds started singing, and those attuned to such things could see a few squirrels darting about in the trees. For what it was worth it seemed that the wardens had managed to force the once imprisoned demon to flee.
Overhead flew some fluffy clouds as they passed leisurely by on their way east and the sun shone through a break in the clouds to their west. It was going to be a fine night here in the Culverwood.

'Osul breathes in the serenity. He takes a moment to confirm for his own happiness that the dew over the next two days will be enough, and that the third days "much needed rain" isn't too much at once, or falling too long. {Survival: 50 - 8 day forecast}
He looks at the sunshine, the birds, the squirrels - then speaks as if to the trees, or something in or beyond them, "Of course it is nice to be rid of it, but if it hasn't gone home permanently, you know who'll be having to go after it, right?!"
He looks at the wardens and says, "Yes, its great to be home. So, resting up, or visiting EvenOak? Either way I'll add Transport via Plants to get at least to the southern border of The Wood for tomorrow."

Just as Armand was girding himself for a fight, the demon exists. He looks around quickly. "Well that was rather....anticlimactic. So was the demon imprisoned in that globe and being forced to power the gateways? If so then whomever or whatever imprisoned him is still on the loose and likely the cause of our troubles." He shrugs his shoulders. "Still no clues so it's not like we have anything to go on. Or do we." Armand will look around the area where the globe/glass/green glowy thing was to see if there are any shards left that could possibly be used in a scrying spell.
Othewise he will head back to the tree fort and try to get some rest.

It would have been more of a challenge than those bandits back in the woods. Those survivors should leave us alone. I guess for now we should go over to the tree house, set watch, and get some rest.

Almost all of the Warden's were confused about the demons behavior, but the fact remained that it was gone. The pedestal and some slivers of gemstone did remain however and collecting a few bits from that was easy enough. The pedestal had a few clues about it as well and a closer examination did indeed reveal that the demon must have been trapped within it as it had wards carved into the surfaces along it.

Otherwise the night was uneventful and the next morning brought with it a little more cloud cover as a front seemed to have moved in overnight. This caused the land and forest to be slightly darker than before and the shadows were softer under the trees than the previous day.
In the distance the faint sounds of people chanting reached the ears of the wardens. The chant was unidentifiable as only bits and pieces came to them as the wind changed direction or the rustling of leaves on the trees drowned out the sounds.

Clarification there's actual skeletal feet lying there, or are there skeletal foot prints?
Then he catches the faint whispers of a song coming from the roadway. "That sounds like a miner's song. If there's nothing left to see here I guess we should head out. I don't think there's anything useful in those bits and pieces to help us scry who made that thing, yet.

Moridark nods in agreement with Armand. "Definitely dragon magic. Though why here? Are we actually back on the material plane? Are we in the Wold? I am pretty well veresed in these things, and yet over the last few days I feel as though we have been bounced around with no real purpose, unless it is to test our abilities."

At Moridark's question Neshi takes a moment to try and figure out if they actually are back in the Wold or on a different plane.
---- The Night Before --- Trellus only grins broadly at Elyngael's observation, and gives her an extravagant, and archaic, bow. "I apologize for confusing you. I often fall into to the idioms of my youth, learned in the City of Rattledam. We were a city in the open grass, where light and sun were generally dangerous, and the shade a most precious commodity. We were also a city of weavers, and incorporated threads, looms, patterns, and the like into our speech. Basically, sun and light - bad. Dark and shadows - good."
--- Now ----- Trellus rises, makes his observance, receives his spells, and casts his daily protections.
Hearing the chanting over the wind, the man nods agreement with Armand's observations.
Elyngael heads out on her scouting mission, and the man looks to the Wardens to see what their next move will be.
DM(James M) - Map - Footprints in the sand Thursday September 2nd, 2021 9:39:23 AM Armand revealed that the pedestal was dragon magic. He also mentioned skeletal footprints in the dirt next to it and that the chanting seemed to be a miners song.
Osul talked about the weather that was coming and suggested warning the locals about it. He looked around at the structure.
Moridark agreed it was dragon magic, but questioned why it would be here, and if they were actually returned to their home plane.
Elyngael looked the tracks over that she found in the vestibule and then went to investigate the chanters.
Neshi pondered about their location.
Trellus explained his upbringing to Elyn and the next morning he agreed with the assessment of the chanters.
Owen
Elyngael was trained in such things and that Skeletal footprint was real and recent..and made by something moving. Armand was able to confirm that it was likely an animated undead creature. Osul with his insight into the wood could feel the evil here now that the demon was gone, but it was an old evil that hadn't been disturbed. After talking and looking about the area they all realized that the undead here didn't wander, but kept to the ruined structure. If undead were active in the area it would likely be inside those ruins and minor at best. Armand thought he could sweep the inside in an hour or two and vanquish any that might be about.
Elyngael however didn't find just the skeletal footprint, but that of a human as well. The scuffle with the demon obscured most of it, but she was certain a man had been here in the past few days, at the very least since the last rain as the prints would have been washed away. After relating her findings she vanished into the wood to investigate the chanters.

We don't have to necessarily roleplay it if you want to just say it's done and he used x number of channels....He also has the domain spell of Undeath to Death always on tap and that's going to affect a 40 foot radius burst, affecting 1d4/caster level (so 15d4) levels of undead, though no undead of 9HD or more would be affected.
DM(James M) - Map - Cleansing Friday September 3rd, 2021 8:47:43 AM
Armand entered the ruins through the doors at the end of the vestibule. Almost immediately he was swarmed by undead skeletons that turned to dust with a wave of his hand. With each room he passed the same or similar happened with the undead being sent to their final rest. Sparks of light came from the interior of the ruins until those outside heard a guttural scream coming from what must be the single most vile of the undead creatures within, one with a voice. It too was cut short by the powerful cleric as he stood at the center of the defiled ruins. The entire process took but an hour while Elyngael scouted the area.
He could still feel the fear induced by haunts within the place. These haunts were likely the psychic remnants of the innocent forced to endure the horrors that must have visited them. Armand found each, paused, and did what was required to lay those to rest as well. He knelt before a hearth and burned a rag that hung from the mantle; he set the tiny bones of an unborn baby in a shallow grave next to the stone wall; he collected the wax from some melted candles and burned that. Each haunt had it's own set of conditions for it to be put to rest, some dictated by their profession in life, others by their circumstances. When he was done all the haunts that were within the place were gone. All told it took him another hour to complete while his companions waited outside.
Armand Highlight to display spoiler: {You gain one role playing Hero Point for setting these souls to rest.}
When Armand emerged from the darkness he looked exhausted and spent (he used all his channels) but there was also a divine glow about him as well. It was apparent his duty was appreciated by Gargul and he'd found favor in the task he'd taken upon himself. As Armand exited the building the entire structure shuddered for an instant and then crumbled to dust.
From overhead Osul couldn't see much on the ground due to the tree canopy, but what he could see told him that no threats existed in the area. When the ruins collapsed he saw the shimmering shapes of the dead formed from the dust rise up and into the morning sky. As each rose above the canopy of trees they, like the ruins, dissolved into nothingness.
About that time Elyngael returned with news of the dragon print on the road. Of the miners there was no sign as they must have moved too far away or gone underground.

"That will make a good soup, Elyngael!"
"There are three things that need our attention.

Neshi makes sure that everything is ready to go, but at the sight of the exhausted but glowing Armand checks that thought for a moment.

Moridark waits patiently, lounging on the back of his steed, and occasionally resting against a tree. "Armand! You look exhausted! Anything I can do to help ease your load? Elyngael, Icannot cook, but Iwill be glad to help gather firewood, or the like for those!"
When the others are ready Moridark will soar 30 feet above the party, and keep an eye out from above.

Trellus gives Armand a faux hurt look. "Dude, you kept all the undead for yourself? [tsk]"
The man still feels too new to be giving directions, even if he was clear on all the options, which he's not.
Trellus simply waits to see what the consensus will be.

DM: Anyone giving it some thought would realize that the undead in the area would keep locals away from the pedestal.
The wardens moved on to the road where the sign was and the print along the edge of the road where the dragon had landed. If the dragon had moved onto the road would be unclear due to all the local traffic on the road.
In the distance you can see the wisps of smoke as they climb in to the sky from chimneys. Probably EvenOak.

Moridark flies above the party and points toward the smoke. The mage flies constantly between tree top level, and just above the gound. "Is that an issue?"

Trellus shrugs at Moridark's question.
"Just cookfires, right?"

Armand turns to Trellus, "Cookfires? Isn't this midmorning? Well I guess it could be a village of halflings. Maybe we should head that way. We have nothing else to go on right now."

"On or off the road?" Elyngael will go 5 feet off the road and scout 50 feet ahead of the party. She will watch for bandits as well as generally check what kinds of tracks she notices. She will send Brawn back to follow behind the party. Survival d20+37=50 Stealth d20+24= 30 Perception d20+25=37
