Detection

PerSee discovery above
StlDC 23 (Expert)
InitNone

The lilies glow with a soft, flickering blue light that seems to stutter every few seconds. The grass within the circle is frozen in a state of eternal morning dew, and fallen leaves that drift into the area seem to slow down mid-air.

Standard Engagement

Trigger

A creature enters the 15-foot diameter circle formed by the lilies without holding a Token of the Grove.

Routine

None

Reset

The flowers regrow their temporal charge and the magic resets after 1 hour.

Temporal Pulse

The seal erupts in a shimmer of distorted air and silver petals. Each creature in a 15-foot burst must attempt a DC 21 Fortitude save. Critical Success: The creature is unaffected. Success: The creature takes half damage. Failure: The creature takes 4d10 force damage and is slowed 1 for 1 round as their movements desync with time. Critical Failure: The creature takes 8d10 force damage and is slowed 1 for 1 minute.

Echoes of the Past

If the trap is triggered, the shimmering air briefly reveals translucent, ghostly visions of whoever last successfully bypassed the trap, potentially providing a clue about a local NPC or villain.

Stalled Growth

If the lilies take cold damage, the DC of the Temporal Pulse effect is reduced by 2 for the next 1 round as the temporal gears of the spell are chilled.

Discovery

DC 23 Perception (Expert) or DC 21 Arcana (Trained) to sense the unnatural temporal distortion.

Archival Lore

These seals were originally crafted by elven chronomancers to protect sacred groves from planar intruders, locking the area in a brief loop of defensive energy that punishes those who move too quickly through the sanctuary.
