Tog's gettin' real suspicious now, and it seeming like moving into the deep and dark spider hole alone might be a big mistake for his player. Instead, he casts Troll Light (its just Light, but green) on a nearby rock and chucks it into the hole before making some sort of perception check.

The golems have seemingly successfully pulverized more swamp creatures, but as you approach Tammy & Skump see a green tendril slowly, almost imperceptibly, reaching towards one of the carts. meanwhile in the dream marlowe examines the tower. It's def circular motifs with circular doorways opening onto circular shaped balconies on the inside, with bright orange creatures zipping up and down between them. The outside is smooth except for where the openings are. The balconies aren't attached to each other and it would be a huge pain in the rear end to be able to get from one to the other if you couldn't float. If you could catch one of the things for closer examination you might be able to find out more. Or you could just go up into the endless aether or descend into the infinite depths. It's raining inside the tower as well as outside. You are being watched.

At first it looks like they're just stomping normal plants but no, some power is animating the plants to attack. They're some kinda plant amalgamations, which is pretty focused on getting rid of Skump atm. Clearly they are being attracted to the caravan by something, altho you can't tell if it's just titties or not, regardless of Skump's side eye.

>>"Easy there little fella." the beholder says gently, "Not gonna hurt ya." and then releases it after getting a good look. Perhaps it's the high and perhaps it's the fact that they're dreaming but the beholder realizes that in any such Quest you must be willing to challenge the limitations you put on yourself. Knowing that their own vices run towards excessive overthinking, they decide to take a risk and proceed intuitively. >>Hovering up to the center of the tower, presumably, where the connections to the sides of the crater reach towards the impossible spire, they start to gather their energies as they chant in Deep Speech. They will take as many turns to gather as much power as they can safely do so, activating their 12th Eye for protection (optimistically so but perhaps it'll help prevent any fallout/incidental effects from the sheer energy this could potentially tap into). >>And then, using every trick, every scrap of knowledge of the pattern, of magic whether enchantment, abyssal, internal alchemy or Eyemancy, everything they have learned both in their adventures and as a native born of this realm, Marlowe focuses those gathered energies on connecting to the spire, the curve of the crater and the vault of the sky... to every endemic eye that stares or slithers or blinks within this plane... on turning the whole thing into one great visual gestalt. And with that unified optical system they attempt to peer into the very soul of the watcher, connecting with it on a fundamental level to try to understand and absorb some of its ambient knowledge and power. >>They will Look God in the Eyes.
