Vega gets right down to business when he gets back to camp. He pulls out a sketch of the Monument (that I would post if I could figure out how):
"The Monument consists of 25 stones arranged in a perfect grid of 5 rows and 5 columns. The stones are identical ellipsoids (eggs), cut in half and standing upright on the flat side. Picture half an egg, 10 ft in diameter at the base, rising up to 15 ft at the peak, and spaced 5 ft apart. They extend more than 5 ft below ground, and as far as I can tell they are all solid with no void spaces inside. The type of stone is unknown to me, which means it probably doesn't exist on Habololy. It is more resistant to physical damage and acid than normal stone, and it prevents extra dimensional travel through it.
The bullmen believe the GoLK erected the Monument to imprison the Foreigners immediately after he and the Collector defeated them in battle 3 years ago (note that we think it's only been ~1 yr). No one witnessed the battle, or if they did no one has ever spoken of it. The Foreigners spent time in the town to barter before that, but I doubt anyone knows anything about them anymore thanks to GoLK. There was one bull warrior who traveled with the Foreigners for a while, but he was taken away by GoLK's priests shortly after their imprisonment and has not been seen for awhile. GoLK has clearly been meddling with the witnesses memories of those events.
The bullmen watch the Monument for the GoLK. They have been offered 'great blessings' for information on the arrival of more foreigners. We should expect resistance. There are priests of all 3 Takers in the town, though I doubt that's where trouble will come from. Their magic comes at a great price, without a major sacrifice they don't command a lot of power. I suspect GoLK probably has minions on standby some where close.
Oira was able to sense Malchia through the stone, he is in grid position column B, row 2. I've got a good guess at where the others are based on the layout of the structure and what I think our friends would have been doing if they were caught in the middle of a deity spell battle. They are marked on the map. They are scattered, not adjacent to each other."
