Satin Knights
First Post
After removing his gauntlet, Iosef steps forward and kneels before the pool. Placing his hand in to the pool, he calls out, "Aulus, Observant Councillor Most High". The silver congeals around his hand, grasping it tightly as a wave of black, crackling energy washes over the paladin. Iosef is wracked with pain.

Once that statement is made, the silvery liquid releases Iosef and starts to form a humanoid shape. The ears are kind of pointy like an elf's, but the eyes are wide and oblong. The fingers appear to be webbed as well.
"The placement of planets in the night sky is governed by physical laws of gravity, momentum and mass. These can be observed and measured ... The Orrery can pierce the veil of these physical laws through the applications of magic to more accurately measure and predict placement of bodies. For when you are attempting interplanetary teleportation, mere seconds can leave you in the void wake of a departing planet, or on a direct collision course with your momentum going it the wrong direction. ... Careful choice has to be maintained when using observation magics in the understanding of said magics' mechanics, and if they approach or exceed the speed of light, causing the delay of the observation to change. The forth, eleventh and thirteenth dials control precision and focus ... And so, careful observation of the universe around us has been shown to enable us to bend the laws of both physics and mystics by pitting one against another in order to create finer predictability and precision. This concludes lesson three of six."
The boring, long winded, half hour lecture leaves you with the sense that a master machine on the island, called the Orrery of Nal-Kashal is the machine in question. It has the power to warp both physical and mystic laws that you thought were immutable. While this lecture made a few comments on the controls and how to tweak effects, it did not cover the basic operation principles of the machine.
The humanoid form melts away as the mirror like shine fades from the liquid. As the puddle is about to settle, it takes on a purple tinge of color. It rises back out, but this time in an nondescript, huge blob form. Oozing over the side of the basin it is in, it starts approaching you.
The party is being approached menacingly (maybe)...
