Elemental Experiments

Real Date	Game Date	Custodian Makes Pulsing Song and Lights	Logs
8/21/21	439-02	Mazrian invited interested participants to come study a voltaic custodian at the Zengmodaleth. The one captured chirped in an understandable pattern, which was carried through by the other custodians in the area. It also had a wire that pulsated in sequence, and it flashed in a sequence of repeating colors. Oddly, there were times when slight deviations appeared in the patterns, for example dropping a color in the flashing sequence. When Navesi tried singing back the tonal sequence, it gave a loud chirp and changed the sequence. When she tried again, it buzzed loudly, and shortly thereafter exploded. The scientists then encountered a group of hostile voltaic custodians and lightning selreks.	Current Events/Logs/08-21-2021-Log

Real Date	Game Date	Custodians Attack Again, Have Evolved	Logs

Grove Scholar Uryutis was heard on the gweth saying that the custodians had "slipped a restraint" and seemed "more capable," and several adventurers decided to meet with him in the Zengmodaleth afterward. He believes that the custodians are now a little faster and stronger and "some of their prime functionality appears slightly more independent." He also made it clear that he doesn't believe the portal to Zengmodaleth is their primary means of accessing the Plane of Abiding, and that these invasions are not the fault of any adventurers or the opening of the portal. More discussion was had about experiments that could be done to learn more. Related newspaper article: Custodians are Evolving, Slip Restraints and Invade Again

He revealed a crackling orb of blue and green swirled lightning that transports people to a new area of the Zengmodaleth populated by custodians.
