I'm On Top of the World!

We decide to lick our wounds and sleep for the night. I have second shift. Nothing happened during my shift so I just get back to sleep. All of a sudden I am awakened by De. Just as a bunch of monsters attack. Way to wait until the last second to warn us. The creatures are called Steeders and look like large spiders about the size of a dog. I wonder if I could use one as a mount... Well, anyways they get the drop on De and Barrel Oakenaxes. Both are hurt real bad and Barrel drops to the ground. I run over, use my miraculous skills as a healer and barely manage to stabilize him so he doesn't bleed to death. Then Swim Shady does one better than me and heals him. But he takes another pincer to the barrel and drops again. Poor thing is pretty useless in a fight.

After a long battle we barely manage to kill the spiders and luckily no one dies! Even worse for the wear, we manage to get our nights rest and recuperate for our morning adventures. I need to talk to that elf...worst sentry ever!

We decide to head to the obelisk today and take precautions. I'm out sneaking like a... Sneaky Little Thing That Sneaks, and we grab the attention of some flying construct. Not sure how it saw us and our 15-foot tall golem but it did. It was a crazy looking thing. It had five arms! We handled it pretty well and Rex was pretty excited to get one to try and reprogram. Unfortunately for him it disintegrated when we finished it off.

A while later we made it to the obelisk. It was tall and made of stone (Rex says it is made out of dolomite). It's kind of a squarish tower thing with a pointed top and three gems near the top. The gems are dragon shards and pretty large (golden, red, and black). The red one (an Eberron shard) looks pretty bad. I wouldn't even try to steal it because you would make no money on the resale.

We know that Eberron shards are found in the ground in egg-shaped stones or marshy areas. Great, we get to slog through a swamp looking for stone eggs.

We also want to get rid of Twiggy's staff, so the group asked me to climb to the top of the obelisk and see if I can spot another World Tree sprout. I easily scarper up the tower and find myself on the top of the world! I can see forever! Then I notice a big red button on the top of the obelisk. I resist my innate curiosity and don't press the button. Man, that kills me. I really want to know what it does. I spend some time sightseeing pretending that I'm as tall as the golem. I spot a tree matching the description of the World Tree about one-and-a-half to two days travel from here.

I climbed back down and let the company know what I saw. Decision times for those smarter than I!
