"Hey guys, there's an interesting pool of water or some kind of liquid a lil bit away. I'm going to go check it out but y'all are more than welcome to join me." Tak says then flies up 20 feet and slowly floats towards the pool watching to see if any of his companions follow.
"I could use a nice bath!"The viashino would say looking to Tak as his tongue flicks in and out. Shiv would then stand up and jingle behind him as his chainmail rattles with every step as he follows his companion.
As you approach the silver pool you hear a myriad of voices, some laughing, some weeping, but all as beautiful and distant as the moon. When you look into the depths of the pool you cannot see the bottom, though the water is crystal clear.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Tak will use Shape Water to lift a group of 4 small globules of water and manipulate 2 into different shapes and freeze one to see how it reacts. Then he will take the last globule and drop it on a nearby tree. If nothing out of the ordinary happens with the water, Tak will examine the white flowers trying to discern what kind of flowers they are.
The drops of water refuses to leave the pool, as if the pool was a solid mass as opposed to a liquid. When you peer into the water, there is no reflection.
The second Shiv's toe touches the shimmering silver surface of the pool, he vanishes.
Shiv, you find yourself in an ethereal world. It is identical to the clearing you just left, but this clearing is filled with figures. They are all young women, and they wear soft white silk robes which shimmer with the same iridescent silver light as the pool. The women are engaged in a variety of occupations, whether dancing, sewing, singing, reading, or simply whispering to each other.
"Welcome, traveler." One of them whispers in a voice like liquid silver, approaching you. Her robes ripple about her body, and her eyes are solid silver. "Welcome to the Moongrove. Few mortals have the opportunity to see what you are seeing."
"Hello there!" shiv will say with a toothy smile, bouncing over to the woman as his tongue flicks rapidly. "what is moongrove?" the viashino asks casually.
Leaves seemed completely unsurprised by the disappearance of their reptilian comrade. She had guessed he would eventually stumble into something dangerous, and vanish from existence. It was just one of those things that was destined to be. She couldn't say she'd miss him, though.
"....Well, rest in peace, Shiv. I hardly knew you. Really.

Jevyn, deciding that there was no danger in the area, decided to return to his senses. "Wait, where is everyone?" Calling Esme back to him, Jevyn tried to figure out where the party might have gone.
Survival: 17 [These are notoriously bad, so I already know Jevyn's gotten lost.]
The woman opens her mouth to reply, when Tak appears beside Shiv. "Welcome, feathered one." Her eyes flick back to Shiv. "You cannot stay long. Already the moon sinks in the sky on the material plane. The Moongrove is the sacred home of the Silver Maidens. We are as old as the moon and as young as the lunar flower. When the moon is full in the sky, we open a portal on the material plane to allow travelers access to the Moongrove for as long as the moon shines in the sky, so that we may impart to them our knowledge and help those who have lost their way." She bows. "Time is of the essence."

Jevyn continues to keep watch, since he's blind and deaf to his own senses.
[JJ, just let me know when you want me to roll perception checks.]

Shiv finally bounces his way over to the pool and sticks his clawed toe in it.
Tak watches Shiv approach and readies Produce Flame.
Leaves merely stayed silent and stood away from the group, her bow drawn, but string not taut.
The second Shiv's toe touches the shimmering silver surface of the pool, he vanishes.

Anyway, who's for dinner?"
"What? We have to go after him." Tak will say leaping in after Shiv
"...Rest in peace, Tak..." Leaves muttered, as another member of the team was presumably disintegrated by the evil magic pond.
Jevyn, deciding that there was no danger in the area, decided to return to his senses. "Wait, where is everyone?" Calling Esme back to him, Jevyn tried to figure out where the party might have gone.

[These are notoriously bad, so I already know Jevyn's gotten lost.]Leaves nodded to Jeyvn.
"They touched the magic pond, and turned into dust. First Shiv, then Tak followed. Do you want to go next?" She asked sarcastically.
The woman opens her mouth to reply, when Tak appears beside Shiv. "Welcome, feathered one." Her eyes flick back to Shiv. "You cannot stay long.

"okay" Tak says as he looks over to shiv with a shrug. "What do we need to do?"
"Should I show her the cursed thing? Maybe she knows something about it?" The viashino will say with a shrug
"I would warn her about it first but no harm in asking if she knows what it is" Tak replies
