A land pulled from time

From Bard's Lore

On a routine trip via teleportation, Mu and Saidra were snagged by some unknown force, and deposited on an island. They soon met up with several others, and the group set off to find out what was keeping them here, while also not getting killed by the prehistoric wildlife. Tracked by T-rexes, and ambushed by Raptors, the group finally found the stranded crew of a human warship, one from the stranger's own history. They made uneasy allies with the commander and his men, before plunging into an old temple that proved to be the mouth of a great earth elemental. Once inside the creature, they found the source of their containment, as well as the source of the elemental's agitation. A thorny briar was growing in the roof of its stomach, cracking the stone, and poisoning the creature. While fighting to destroy the briar, the party also had to contend with a shadow dragon that was also captive to this place. When they finally destroyed the plant, the dragon teleported away, and Mu was able to identify the briar as being the same wood as the holy symbol he had taken from his dead friend: Uskwood.
