Frangipani holds her torch up high as they walk in, sure the others are close behind.....
In the torchlight you can see these wall are covered in expertly painted frescoes depicting the many varieties of plants and animals of the garden. As you and Eberk move down to the main, moonlit corridor you can see the frescoes continue with he addition of a beautiful woman in the company of a man of great stature. There are several iterations of the 2 people in different positions and actions, but the face of the male has been scratched away in all of them. The ceiling is all glass and you can see the moonlight through the waters of the canal above, along with some fish and other aquatic creatures traveling about the canal. The corridor branches off at several junctures along its several hundred foot distance where you can see it connects to the main structure
(Lol, what a time to have ingested hallucinogens.)
"Something's wrong with the elf," Bjorn whispers. "Something new, I mean. If we're attacking, you go right and I'll go left." He moves 20ish feet to the left of the spider and readies his action to attack with his magic crossbow, if the captain attacks. (Maybe we won't need to. Who knows)

Frangipani stares up at the aquatic display, " Thats nice."
She turns to Eberk as she examines the frescoes, " Bad breakup do you think?"
" We should wait for the others before exploring these branches.....whats keeping them?"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
“Could be. Even with the damage it’s beautiful in here.” Eberk takes a closer look at the construction of the structure. “Bjorn probably found a rock that he thinks is my mother-in-law.”
History: 16 (including Stone Cunning for construction information)

The stone work is very old and has many similarities to dwarvish work from areas you are familiar with, but also has some striking differences with smoother, more rounded corners and edging. The builders definitely knew their craft well. You can see beneath the frescoes there are swords written that likely offer a description of each scene, but the language is different than any you have come across
(If Bjorn and Sparhawk have taken another turn, Lir will spend his second turn continuing to vibe spider-ly).
The 7 legged spider begins to chat with Spider Lir while looking about for the vanished meal. It begin talking of the mistress of the garden and how she used to bring meals to feed on regularly, but now seems like she doesn’t have time for the creatures. She spends most of her time cultivating the special plant and turning it into incense. After a few moments the spider will tell Lir he needs to go find his own spot if he wished to remain in the garden and suggests the other spirit bell on the East terrace. That will give them both a good chance of snagging a passing snack. Then the spider works it’s way back into the shadows to wait
"I can't believe that worked." Bjorn relaxes a bit and the silver of his axe being casually flipped in the air catches the moonlight, though he himself remains invisible. "Actually, scratch that. I'm findin' myself able to believe quite a lot lately."
Lir-spider bobbing in time to the good vibes, on a high from having a direct communiqué from this new god - more prompt than the World Sinker - dances in a skittering series in the direction of the invisible voice.
"Look at that, the ceiling is glass." Bjorn stays a few feet behind the group so nobody trips over his invisible legs. "You ever seen anything like it? I haven't."
"You are indeed an arachman of many surprises Lir." Sparhawk says smiling. "I thought that spider might mate with you. Thanks for saving our hides, although that poison was not pleasant."

You are within range for any of your ideas
The 7 limbed God seems pleased with your transformation but disappointed at his vanished prey.

Sparhawk will hold his action, if the spider moves toward Lir, he will attack.

Sparkhawk hearing his friend, “let’s head to Eberks stairway and see if we can catch up.”
”Lir, come when you can. “
Lir-spider bobbing in time to the good vibes, on a high from having a direct communiqué from this new god - more prompt than the World Sinker - dances in a skittering series in the direction of the invisible voice.
Once the others enter the corridor, Eberk will turn to them. “Does anyone have parchment and something to write with?”
Sparhawk, Bjorn, and Spider Lir? catch up with the group. (I hope)
"Well, I did until I almost drowned in that mini ocean we were stuck in."
He looks around, "what do we have here?"
"Nothing to write with, no. I have this goblin note, we could write on the back."
(I think I still have that?)
"Why, have ye been moved to poetry by the..." He pauses, frowning. He clearly lacks the language to explain this place. "Paintings?"
“Don’t know the language, but I thought if I could write it down we could translate later.” Eberk turns towards the group. “Where’s Lir?”
Hearing his name, Lir drops the spider wildshape - and falls from the ceiling directly above.
"Oh. That was nice."
He's audibly disappointed to have only two legs again.
"Look at that, the ceiling is glass." Bjorn stays a few feet behind the group so nobody trips over his invisible legs. "You ever seen anything like it? I haven't."
"You are indeed an arachman of many surprises Lir." Sparhawk says smiling. "I thought that spider might mate with you. Thanks for saving our hides, although that poison was not pleasant."
