Voadam/GM: [sblock] Ipshivi marveled at the view as they soared over the ruins. Flight was a relatively novel experience for her, but every time she tried it she reveled in the experience. It was all she could do to focus on their true task, and she began to sweep her gaze carefully across the panorama below them searching for any unusual sights. Part of her mind tried to catalog the area, so that she could remember details once they returned to the ground- another part sought any sign of movement down below, for there was little chance of finding allies here. It was only as the approached the tower that she found her voice again. "So do you want to check around up here, or return and tell what we can of the route for those still on the ground?"
OOC: any sign of significant obstacles for the ground team, or sign of motion/activity? [/sblock]

"I make that to be a large, floating sphere that appears to be filled with water." the halfork replies absently. He glances casually around the area, then walks up to the floating sphere. "This is a giant's land. Thus many things we see that seem odd to us, perhaps are not so odd if we put ourselves in the correct perspective." His eyes roam all over the bubble, and he brings his hand up as if to place it against it, but does not do so yet. "Let us assume we are dozens upon dozens of feet tall, like these giants are. What would this thing be to us? Do we know of anything back home that to us would be a tiny bubble of water at about our ankle height? That could help explain what this thing is."Aeranduil said:
He looks casually at the others.

Land group:
The green sphere is slightly above most of your heads, floating rough 7 to 8 feet in the air, it appears to glow with an faint green light.
[sblock=Ipshivi/Voadam]
The enormous stone platform you currently are perched upon floats roughly 300 feet above the ruin surface below. The bronze railing you stand upon extends 10 feet above the floor.
Upon closer examination of the platforms surface, you notice coin-sized crystals that stud the floor in patterns that appear to mimic various constellations that you are aware of.
Ipshivi scans the area and takes in the breath-taking sights. Besides the rectangular towers of blue glass which rise hundreds of more feet into the sky than where she currently stands, she notices the series of stone canals that divide the area into square sections. She notices several rotating green orbs that shed an eerie glow -- and spots the party below standing around one such item.
As far as the towers go, several broken windows dot the massive buildings, but nothing else can be seen at this vantage point.
The floor of the ruins are just that -- ruins, and would pose a hazard to navigate to even those of giant size, let alone smaller travellers.
Several movements of small creatures are picked up by the halflings exceptional eyesight -- to the south and west of the area she picks up several glints of light, as one would think would come from a piece of metal reflecting the suns rays.
As she turns to the southeast, her heart stops for a moment as she sees something that she has never seen before in her life -- a dragon? The large green hide with huge wings folded across its back could only be such a creature. She had thought them all to be lost to Argonessen. As she watches it for a moment or two, she notices the head crane back and forth around the rubble, looking into several buildings, as if looking for something.

Voadam/GM: [sblock] Ipshivi shivered as she saw the dragon searching for something, and she nudged Voadam very gently, trying to draw his attention. "We better either get inside or get back down on the ground. They say those beasts have remarkable senses, and Id rather not let it know we're here- and we ought to tell the others..." [/sblock]

Legend
[sblock] Voadam examines the crystal constellation patterns of the floor up here, trying to puzzle out the purpose of this floating structure. "These patterns match constellation formations. The ancient giants were masters of powerful ritual magics, I wonder if this was an Astromancy platform or if these were used in rituals harnessing the power of celestial conjunctions."
