First Stone: A seemingly endless tide of skeletons conjured the moment the first step crossed the midpoint of the stone. First it was dozens, then hundreds, and they would knit themselves back together after being destroyed. Individually they were easily dispatched and could be passed through. The skeletons did not pursue any who crossed back onto the shore or who reached the next stone, and the moment the last foot left the island, the entire mass collapsed in a heap of bones that quickly dissolved into ash. (Side note: magical flight and levitation spells did not function here.) | First Stone: A seemingly endless tide of skeletons conjured the moment the first step crossed the midpoint of the stone.

Second Stone: Silence and enervation. This stone affected individuals differently depending on the order they stepped onto it. The first could not speak or make any sound, the second was physically weakened to the point of exhaustion, and this pattern repeated for each pair of individuals who stepped onto the stone. Despite these effects, it seemed at first as if the stone would be relatively safe to rest upon. It was not. An aura of lethargy also affected everyone, causing them to the '''Slowed'''. After a minute, the weakened individuals lost color to their skins, and otherworldly forces began to take control over their bodies. Meanwhile, those who had been silenced seemed to gain in strength.

After a minute, the weakened individuals lost color to their skins, and otherworldly forces began to take control over their bodies. Meanwhile, those who had been silenced seemed to gain in strength. When the halfway point of this stone was crossed, a number of ghosts appeared, although no more than there were individuals in the group. Their frightening visages did hamper forward progress for some time though. Once either individual in an affected pair stepped onto the next stone, the effects gripping the other ceased, and it was easy enough for them to make the trip themselves. | ||
Third Stone: Stasis. This stone did not appear to have any ill effects on the group, and we remained on it for a full 24 hours. While the negative effects of the previous stone faded while we remained here, all efforts made to rest or heal proved futile. We were able to catch our breaths and recover some abilities, but no healing was possible, nor (when a slight scuffle broke out) did it seem possible to harm anyone here. | Third Stone: Stasis.
