Message: <blockquote data-quote="neyrick" data-source="post: 9774472" data-attributes="member: 6900004">Hello all,I've (finally !) started DMing the Zeitgeist AP and, after a few introductory investigations ,  we've started Island at the Axis of the World, but I can't wrap my head around the actual layout of the Axis Seal and the protruding tree fragment in the sea cave:- the sea cave description says "A 20-feet diameter pillar of dull gray stone rises from the water" around the petrified tree, but is that part of the Ancients' design too ? And it says the petrified tree "extrudes from the gray stone, 5 feet wide and rising 17 feet above the water.", but if it was embedded in the stone pillar, how could it snap while the stone pillar still reaches the top of the cave ?How did you describe it to your players ?- the Axis Seal description in Adventure 10 mentions 8 petrified trees buried under the seal, holdig a golden icon. It also says the icons have been found all around the island in different mines. But even though the seal is kinda big, wouldn't the 8 trees just be right under the seal, in the same area ? Or did the trees twist around and sorta slither underground to reach differents areas of the island ? Or is space magically warped by the energy of the seal ? Or are there other trees, with more icons ? But if so, how come the connection to Avilona was damaged by a "secondary" tree being damaged ?I'm really confused with the overall setup of the seal, so I'd love a bit of help if someone managed to make some sense out of it. It might be a language barrier thing, me being French and all, so perhaps I just read it wrong.</blockquote>
