Something magical is a foot. I don't like those puddels in the walls
Kevin is getting uneasy
Are we sure that continuing on is a good idea?

"Maybe if you drink enough of the upside down water you'll float in the air? Bwahaha! But seriously I don't see too much of value, just a lot of weird. Now if it were piles of upside down diamonds I'd be pitching my tent and be eager to stick around. As it is, I'll let you all decide. I'm fine either way."

"A meeting place," Ghillie suggested and pointed at the gathered different giant fresco, "with these pools bringing you here and taking you back whence you came?"

Yes, defying gravity. Exactly.It’s bizarre.
As you continue walking, you see a large platform against the far wall of the cavern, which you now see.
The platform looks like the platform from the beginning of Raiders of the Lost Ark, and the carvings culminate and ultimately point the person following them to the platform.
Atop the platform is a 2 inch ball of Mithral, embedded with red, blue, and green dragonshard bits.
The ball sits in an indentation in the platform, seemingly designed to hold it.

Come on, let our pursuers spring this trap as it surely is. That is what he says anyway. But Kevin can't stop himself from looking around, trying to spot the mechanisms. Pressure trigger, holes in the walls for projectiles etc.

Is the ball attached to the platform, or just resting in the indentation?

"clearly a trap, but why un triggered? Given the age of this place as you say Gunnar, and the relative ease of us finding it, it makes me doubly suspicious" Alin looks to their new companion. "Realyn my friend, do you have any knowledge of this place?"
Alin shines the light past the ball on the pedestal looking for a way to continue past.

Pressure trigger, holes in the walls for projectiles etc.The puddles begin to shimmer, and those trained in Nature all at the same time realize that the moon Kythri is overhead this night. As you think on that, from the ceiling you see a large, red, slimy toadlike creature climb out of a puddle, then another, and then another. They stand on the ceiling, as if gravity is reversed for them.
OOC:
Roll initiative. We will do a group initiative this combat. I would like all of you to roll, and then we will take the average, compared to a an average of 11 for the monsters here. If your group average is above 11, then you will go first. If less, the monsters will go first.[ +- ] Scene Description
You all are at the end of a rectangular-shaped cavern, around 60 feet wide, and about 60 feet high.
On the walls are the carved reliefs as described earlier. The back wall, where the platform is, has squares, rectangles, triangles, and circles carved into the walls in some pattern that you haven't discerned yet. The platform is circular in shape, about 5 feet in diameter, with an indentation in the middle with a 2-inch mithral ball with striations made from crushed dragonshards of various colors and sizes.
The puddles have been randomly located along the floor, ceilings, and walls of this place. It is about 300 feet from the part of the tunnels that you waded through earlier on. The only locations you see to escape would be (potentially) the hatch that Kevin discovered, the place you waded through 300 feet away, or one of the puddles located at various points around the cavern.

"Moon pools," Ghillie pronounced, "this time opening to the chaos of Kythri."
He looked over the frog-like creatures to confirm they were what he feared they were.
"And did that obviously trapped bauble speak?"

They are about 8 feet tall (they are large creatures), red in color, with arms of about 6 1/2 feet in length. The ceiling is about 60 feet up, and they don't have ranged weapons.annex says:
"Moon pools," Ghillie pronounced, "this time opening to the chaos of Kythri."You notice on the edgings of the wall that the geometric shapes may indicate something to do with the phases of the moons orbiting Eberron. Tonight, Kythri is full only, with other moons at various lunar phases tonight.
Those facts don't necessarily account for why it seems like the manifest zone is focused specifically in this chamber, but that could be something to explore after this dangerous circumstance.

Raelyn instinctively grabs the sphere thing and says, "I got you."
He then says, "Shifter, how do we interact with this hatch/door thing?"
He then tries to pull on the seams in the walls, to no avail. You all don't see any traps set off.

"Slaadi. Vicious with claws and sometimes spells. We need to run before more come through," Ghillie suggested. "Figheagan!"
Roots and tendrils shot down from the ceiling to try and entangle the slaad!If the others choose to run, he'll also run.

OOC:
Casting[ +- ] Entangle!
Creatures in the 20 foot area when you cast the spell must succeed on a DC 14 Strength saving throw or be restrained by the entangling plants until the spell ends. A creature restrained by the plants can use its action to make a Strength check against your spell save DC. On a success, it frees itself.

Vines seem to grow through the puddles of two of the slaadi, reaching through and grabbing them, attempting to grasp them and hold them in place. However, Slaad B seems to slip right through the vines.
Who's next?

Red Slaad A is restrained by magical vines.Who's next?
