Uriel Opens a Potal

Metaphysical / Paranormal event

After realising the party were sent back in time, and deal with the attack on the timberyard by some animated trees, the party split up to warn people of the coming threat and to try and find out what had happened to them.   They find out that Uriel seems to have some understanding, and unlike everyone else some awareness, that things have changed somehow. He also reveals that he knows Hazirawn, and that they are not yet ready to face such a dangerous opponent. Flustered by the sudden turn of events, Uriel insists that the party ask no questions, and asks for their trust in the moment. He begins to make some incredibly complex calculations, and then escorts the party to the Dead Grove.   Once at the Grove, he has Liath reveal a hidden entrance which leads into some underground caverns beneath the grove. He leads them to a giant crystal, where he begins setting up an incredibly complex spell. Upon completion, the spell opens up a portal, which the party head through. They are transported to a strange barren landscape, and Uriel is nowhere to be seen.
