They began their trek to the town to begin their attempts at returning to their home. Finding a nice spot at the edge, Kagemane stabbed the boundary and sundered the town from the planar fabric. Like the parting of a curtain, the party saw behind them a regular town and landscape, but in front of them was the vastness of the multiverse swirling around. It was as if staring into a galaxy in all its splendor, yet every pinpoint of light they could see an entire universe. Their movement inundated them with intersections of each dimension they passed through, existing coterminiously with them and glimpsing a tiny bit of another reality.
Meanwhile, Audrius began the incantation to guide their adrift patch of land to its home dimension and they began to feel a primal 'push' towards their home dimension. While Audrius chanted, Flynn (Slater, newcomer) warned the rest that if the landscape behind them changes, they should not be alarmed and think they've gone adrift from the town. Partial intersections will give the appearence of them being seperated from the main body of the 'planar island', yet dimensionally they are safe.
With that, it seemed like a 100' wide section of land they stood on completely seperated and spun away, into an interstellar asteroid field, far out of sight from their town. A large humanoid-shaped blob of reflective metal 'walked' into view, as if reality parted to allow it to enter. The entire party felt their insides being twisted, and found themselves scattered all over the place, and Antric (Jon, armored warrior) was out of sight. Random spots around them rippled strangely, as if space itself was unstable. In fact, when Jorn tried to fire an arrow at it, the arrow shrunk and slowed to a crawl for a full second before reenlarging and then missing its target.
Kagemane tried to charge it, but experienced a 'stretching' of space, making the entire movement take noticeably longer. The fight continued like this, even with Antric reappearing as a colossal entity that would've blotted out the sun had their been one, only to shrink to normal size the moment he left his specific position. The creature itself effortlessly moved about and manifested its claws inside the party, harming them every which way.
After it was defeated, their asteroid spun back and reattached to the main town. A short time later, they suddenly found themselves standing in a 20th century city park, down to the joggers and sidewalks and skyscrapers in the background. One of the people walking their dogs saw the party, screamed out "grass treaders!" (sign saying 'Do not walk on grass' nearby) With that, half a dozen black suited soldiers marched in, holding futuristic nightsticks with glowing red tips. They told the party to surrender, and unleashed giant balls of flame, incinerating the grass around them and harming the party themselves.
Antric shouted aggressively, making one pause and shortly run away, while the rest of the party charged in and decimated them while also getting drastically injured from their gouts of flame. Flynn showed off his skill by backflipping over three of them and knocking all of them out in a flurry of punches with his gauntlet.
After this, they finally saw a prick of light that seemed familiar, turning out to be their home dimension and began to direct towards it. By the skin of their teeth, they landed properly, and let it fall to Kagemane to use The Mender to seal the planar breach permanently. It proved to be too difficult, and several holes were left scattered around the perimeter of the town. Not wanting the possibility of the boundaries to weaken and seperate, they wandered around and resealed them, running into a couple Sscree along the way. A Sscree is a creature of Chaos that seems to be a man-sized toad with two large snake like tentacles coming out of its shoulders and spits acid.
