The first adventure, part one

Using a magic compass, brought by the Githyanki, which enables her to track the Illithid, The group leaves the great city of Megalos, and head north, into the salt marshes.

After a day of travel, the compass directs them to a wayside shrine, set up in honor of St Olybrious the goblin.

These things are scattered all over Megalos. A place to rest for an hour or two, feed the riding beasts, wander the garden, drink from the fountain, and take shelter from a storm. They are all pretty much the same, a nice garden, a fountain, a stable, and a building with a table, a fireplace, and a few cots. if you've seen one, you've seen them all. Cheap magical constructions that a team can create and deploy in a couple days of work. Dozens are on every major road.

The compass says the Illithid is inside, but no movement can be discerned by the Gryphon Rider. The entire group sneaks closer to the Shrine. The Golem simply stops and waits farther back (Sneaking.... is not part of his skill set).

The Weretiger changes to his four legged form, and scouts, He sees nothing unusual,  a few Koi in the fountain, an owl, possibly a cat somewhere nearby. No sign of Illithids. Nothing.

As it is getting dark, the group enters the Shrine, expecting at any moment to be sprung upon. The Michaelite has a sense danger spell up, and something keeps triggering it. As trained soldiers, they believe they can handle whatever trap is attempted, and decide to make themselves the bait. They enter the wayside house,  Start a fire, prepare a meal, and wait. The Gryphon rider is in the stables with her mount. The Firemage and the Jaegermonster are at the fireplace, The Golem stands beside the table, and The Michaelite and Githyanki are seated.

Discussion among them is that the compass must be detecting a dimensional gate, or perhaps there is an underground passage here.

Its here. Right here. That the trap is sprung. Suddenly the Gryphon freaks out, and the Rider jumps upon his back as the stable begins to grow larger, quickly.

Not larger, it's the Gryphon and rider both growing smaller, shrinking faster and faster, from maiden sized, to child, from child to toddler, to kobold, to doll sized to insect sized.... in seconds, the Gryphon rider is the size of a flying ant.

The rest of the group shrinks as well, very quickly achieving the same tiny stature. The Michaelite finds himself sitting on a wooden floor a hundred (equivalent) yards in every direction, The Githyanki is in the same predicament a mile away on the other side of the vast table. The others find themselves small enough to fall between the floorboards of the poorly constructed building, and have to leap to cross from one plank to another.

The Gryphon and rider try to find the rest of the group, swiftly flying back to the rest, a journey much longer than before. While the rest of the group attempt to rejoin each other. The Michaelite falls from his chair, his armor making his attempt to nimbly leap from seat to cross brace to floor a comical farce.  The Githyanki shows him how its done with style and stoic aplomb.

At this point the Gryphon rider spots the rest, but as she flies to them, she is attacked! Goblins, dozens of them, of the same equivalent tiny size, have ambushed from the rafters and are attempting to hit her with nets, arrows and stones.

The rest of the group can see the attack, but are far too far away to help.They rush from their scattered locations to aid one of their own.

The goblins have failed to net the Gryphon Rider, who easily flies out of their range. So they drop ropes and begin to descend to the floor in an attempt to fight the rest of the group. This turns out to be a costly mistake for them.

Long before the goblins get to the ground, the Golem makes it to the bottom of the rope, and grabbing one in each hand, proceeds to snap the whip. The Gryphon spins back in flight, Her talons slicing through the ropes with ease. The Jaegermonster makes it to the descending goblins as well, and spears a few.  Not to mention the Firemages attack, the sudden weretiger in their midsts, and a fully armored knight. The remaining goblins retreat back up the ropes they came from.
