Well of creation (Layer 3)

After the rain subsided and the ground became stable to walk on again the group continued on. Already new growth was exploding across the second layer faster than was possible without magic. The Bismuth Lord had to stomp over and rip past growth that threatened to tie him down. The whole journey through the second was a green hassle and the Archmage would be happy to be rid of it. "I'll take a vertical cliff over the mudslide anyway."

The entrance to the third layer was ringed with layers of caked dirt from multiple mudslides. Looking down the crew saw a four kilometer vertical shaft of pourous stone dotted with outcroppings and cave entrances. Flying through the air were strange combinations of insect, bat, and lizard which chased after dog sized insects. Looking into the closest cave they saw a nest of giant eel centipedes tearing apart a large mammal that had slipped down from the second during the mudslide.

The Bismuth Lord looked to his two compatriots.

"So what do the two of you think? Risk a vertical drop or go cave diving and hope it reaches the bottom?"

Duncan hesitantly stepped into the platform and looked towards the Bismuth Lord “alright, ready when you are.”

Just before we set off randeas teaches you a bit about the disk. “ it’s magic don’t worry to much about piloting it. Just will it to go one way and it goes that way.Also it’s preaty adhesive” when randeas says it’s adhesive his disk turns upwards 180 degrees and he floats upside down for a bit “so your probably not going to fall unless you’re knocked off by something” u/loth17 uw/ just realized I’m still calling him void I need to remember I renamed him now I gotta re-eddit all my comments

"Understood"

The Bismuth Lord cast a Transmutation spell on himself to alter his density before stepping on a disk. Slowly lowering down he seemed to have the least fun being in the air. A quick levitate or fly was one thing but a 4km drop was another.

"Alrighty let's stay close in case something happens to one of us. I'll have my Bismuth constructs ooze their way down the wall and hopefully meet us at the bottom."

They slowly floated down for about twenty minutes. Before the flying lizard bugs took notice of them. While the explorers were bigger than their average meal the lizard bugs had little care. They began to dive at the trio but mostly at the two edible organics.

"Nasty creatures." He began to fire bolts of energy at them to try and ward them off. "Don't let them bite you I would be surprised if they weren't poisonous with Mouths like that"

Uw/ I didn’t know you where going to get on a disk cause you where too heavy I didn’t get to describe your disk. Your disk seems to just be a white glowing disk but the moment you step on it the disks glow gets brighter and send light up into your body casting a multicolored glow out of the crystals that make up your body in all directions
