Cellica had been quiet for a while, taking in everything that happened and taking a moment during their resting to mourn Terrance, even though they weren't sure he was dead, he was still not with them anymore. Cellica had been observing mostly and keeping back from the discussions to sort through her jumbled thoughts and gather herself. Never had she thought that all this would happen, or that it was real. Sure she read things about these kinds of 'alternate worlds' or whatnot in her books and during her studies at the monestary but those seemed fiction to her.
She got back into the here and now when her companions started debating wether or not to follow the kobols and then deciding on following them. "It's not hard to follow them. They're leaving tracks all over the place and you can hear the pig from miles away." she said with a small smile. "I can take the front with the others. If we get in a fight I'm more usefull up close and personal anyway."
OOC: And Cellica has a stealth modifier of +3 so I might be pretty stealthy unless the dice decide to hate me again xD

I realized you might have been trying to determine if it was the same "reality" as the Guardian, if so, then no. The tower belongs to this fragment, and not the (shall we say) base reality.
OCC: No, you have not "wandered" between planes. Think of this place as a table with remnants of cloth piled on top. The Yew Tree (Guardian) is part of the table. And because of its strength and nature it exists in All of the fragments. By using "Tree Seeing", I am guessing, that Andolin was trying to determine if the tower was 1) magical 2) on the same base/real plane as the Yew (the dead land). If it was on the "base", then it might be the remains of the tower the Yew showed him. It isn't on the base plane. It is on the same piece of fabric as the Inn left you.
”I don’t see anything that would indicate this is the tower we seek,..at least not as it was show to me.” Andolin says, oooking about. “Let’s go down carefully?”
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Let's still be careful though. We have no idea what lurks between the rubble there and if the Kobolds noticed us following them." she said, stepping in place next to Andolin after he called out that there weren't any traps so far. She looked around to see if she could find the tracks of the Kobolds and if they are near, plus anything else she might notice.
The trail leads to a ground level break in the wall on the east side by the stairs. Inside the break is a ladder made of branches tied together leading down the the tower's cellar. Age has rendered the cellar open to the elements, the floor long since rotten away. Rubble, including several large piles in the corners litters the the exposed basement cobbles.
Cellica will follow behind Horus, once she reaches the bottom she'll take her staff and holds it at the ready for anything that might pop out and attack them.
OOC: How dark is it down there? Being a human I don't have any darkvision

It is dark, but there is enough moonlight to light the center.
The "floor" collapses with a breaking of wood and a cloud of dust. A pit filled with sharpened wooden stakes is revealed as being hidden under fragile beams and canvas...
OCC: We can discuss, but as I read it, anything that is hidden by magic.
It looks like you should be able to climb down via any of the piles in the corner.
But you do notice (because your just a perceptive type of guy :) ), now that you are aware of how they hid the pit, that there are at least 3 false boulders in the far right corner...

Horus whispers to the others “That could be any tower stump, right? But it might be the remains the tower Andolin saw.”
Paladin - warforged - orange
Andolin nods in response to Horus and...
(I think I haven't done this since last long rest, so...)
...casts True Seeing using the Amulet and looks ahead at the tower.
OCC: Its per day, and no you haven't.
It takes a minute to sort through the layered realities, but when you do, you see before you an old tower of tumbled stones.

OCC: By the way, are these little pics helpful?

The pics are a neat addition. I dig it.
I’m confused though, have we wandered between planes again?

Horus will take the first steps down the ladder. “Someone’s gotta go, and we need Andolin’s eyes in good shape.”
Horus will check for a hidey hole amongst the sacks.

As Horus begins to put his weight on the ground, he feels it give way beneath his feet...true enough, the Kobolds have trapped the area!

“Huh. Perhaps we should try to disarm these. Or set them off with rocks, either seems good.” Horus climbs back up

If truevision is up, I believe I can see hidden entrances as well, within range.
