"Those creatures are called crysmals. They are from the plane of earth and are very much like elementals. They have no weaknesses that I am aware of, other than spells that can damage the mind. Do not bother using fire or cold like I do as it does not work, even electricity will have to be powerful to damage them. Clubs and other blunt weapon seem to work well on them."

"Wow, I'm glad that's over with," Zeeva says, and lets out a sigh.
"Alright, let's place the other klars and finish the ritual. You may want to heal yourselves meanwhile, I have a feeling there's more to come..."
As you take a moment to heal those who are wounded, Zeeva decides to finish the ritual for you. She places the other ritual swords known as klars on the altar, forming a star pattern with them. The moment all of the klars are in place you experience a sensation of dizziness and see the world around you melt away. A moment later you find yourselves in a different place, though not entirely different.
In a small clearing of sparse trees stands a solitary table of stone before a pool of clear water. A simple camp with a smoldering campfire and a large tent made from animal skins and wooden poles has been set up to the east. Superimposed over the idyllic landscape is a gray, ghostly image of the Green Market-its wagons, carts, and stalls seemingly untouched from a moment before. This image fades to mist approximately sixty feet away, revealing a great battle being fought farther in the distance on all sides.
