To the north, a crater descends gently downward, encased in a veritable wall of snapping and writhing thorny vines that constantly churn the land and create an impassable barrier. Extending upward into a vague teardrop pinnacle from which erupts a golden beam of light, the lifesculpted spire occupies the same space Knife Clan previously occupied. You also see a spectral white leopard with luminous blue eyes that is sitting, a blue moonbeam, a sand-hued lynx with a tufted black-tipped tail that is sitting, a playful-looking black and white kitten wearing a ruby red collar, an ethereal vela'tohr thicket, a cobalt ivy-wrapped mistwood tree, a coppery saluki puppy flaunting a goldenglow glaes collar and jadeleaf snood, a baby wolf that is sitting, a small chaotic fissure and a pale blue moonbeam.

The earthen ballista grinds with the sound of stone on stone as a large rock rises up from within it and sets itself atop the launching device.

You go southwest. [Wilderness, Edge of the Primal Encasement] An abrupt line slashes across the forest here, the tree line ending with a stark immediacy and with the ground cleared. To the north, a crater descends gently downward, encased in a veritable wall of snapping and writhing thorny vines that constantly churn the land and create an impassable barrier. Extending upward into a vague teardrop pinnacle from which erupts a golden beam of light, the lifesculpted spire occupies the same space Knife Clan previously occupied. You also see a coppery saluki puppy flaunting a goldenglow glaes collar and jadeleaf snood, a pale blue moonbeam, a sand-hued lynx with a tufted black-tipped tail that is sleeping, an ethereal vela'tohr thicket, a cobalt ivy-wrapped mistwood tree and a tiny chaotic fissure.

You see Holy Guardian Unaka, Maul of Truffenyi, a Gor'Tog Paladin. Unaka has an oval face, dark brown eyes and a straight nose. She has jade skin and a brawny figure. She is tall for a Gor'Tog. She appears to be an adult. She has a polished horn nose ring banded in gold piercing her septum. Thin flame-marked bands decorate the cinereous horn, adding a fancy flourish to the simple hoop. She has a tattoo of a swath of tribal war markings on her face. She is in good shape.

She is wearing a pilgrim's badge shaped like an ox skull, some iron pauldrons accented with a pair of ox horns, a white linen blouse cut to expose the midriff, a thick leather weapon harness with gold buckles, some segmented leather gauntlets embellished with gold buckles, a rough leather war belt with a buckle accented by a pair of tusks, some tanned hide breeches framed with a bearskin tasset accented with carved bone and a pair of faded bear-hide boots wrapped with leather straps.

You hear a voice say, "I do hope you all know what you're doing." Trajan says, "That didn't feel like a very confident statement." Eyst says, "Remarkable." Heartsfyre yells, "Tis not yers! Give back what is not yers!"

Gradually, with a quivering whimper, the golden light atop the spire begins to flicker, winnowing down to a thin, narrow line.

Gragnel loudly exclaims, "We shall not be halted! We shall endure! For freedom! For the clans!" Trajan says, "They're worried." Melindrha yells, "You're a bunch of bullying jerks." Gragnel continues praying. Elurora gazes up at the sky. Avrenka says, "Whatever they're doing, it's working." Allye gazes up at the sky. Klausette continues praying. Nawain frowns. Nilme nibbles her lip thoughtfully. Pyppa inhales a great swallow of air. Allye asks, "Is it working?" Pyppa slowly empties her lungs. Vaddon gives his staff a brisk shake, allowing the vibrant material of his standard to play out freely and catch the available breeze. Buzan asks, "Is it?" Avrenka says, "They know we're here, I say we start sorcery casting." Illiya ponders. Allye knits her eyebrows together in a thoughtful frown. You hear a male voice yell from the northeast, "Come out and see how your vines like us you coward." Qihhth strides northeast. Madigan says, "Hold on casting."
