Even with protection, you feel filthy. The stench of Ooze is horrifying, only your spells and toughness stopping you from being violently ill.

"Nice shot," Jarem calls as you come back, "Take me next time in case someone hits back. I'm good at that sort of thing," he says, wrinkling his nose. "Also, clean yourself. That smells like a demon latrine."

In the background other wizards gag and make space around you, some of the clerics as well joining them.

<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

"Bah. Was hoping I could slow it down for you all to hit it from behind. As for cleaning up, I'll wait until after we're finished. No point in cleaning up if we just get filthy again. Do a quick check to make sure no one's sick, and then we'll go after the ship. I'm betting that thing can blend into everything here, so keep an eye out."
This is not the greatest post in the world, no... this is just a tribute.

"No really, I insist," Jarem grimaces, keeping his voice down. "Don't appear filthy and vulnerable as a leader. Project confidence and being above it, let the men and women under you think that you're superior to such things. Let them build your legend for you."

Alyssa grunts and turns her back to the others, letting out a quick word of magic and having Prestidigitation clean her up before turning back.

"Get together, keep an eye on your teammates, and let's move. Abjurer, get this teleport scrambling spell figured out."

With that, she heads towards the ship, keeping her pace down for the others to keep up.

The ship lies on its side, as if beached and forgotten. That's one thing.

The other is that hunks of space in it twist and turn, moving about impossibly. Distance seems wrong, contorted, alien. It hurts to look at long.

Does my Greater Arcane Sight tell me anything about what's going on? Or Spellcraft?

You'd have to get within 120ft.

The ship is dimensionally distorted. Something has gone dreadfully wrong with a powerful magic item or effect, causing parts of the ship to be in separate dimensions and have the geometry of it terribly warped.

Fixing is possible, but you'd have to find and destroy or repair the source. Destroying it would work for sure but be destructive, while repairing it would be harder and riskier if you fail at it, but better if you succeed.

"Dimensional distortion... I think I can fix it if I can find the source... Let's see if we can find the source. The rest of you, keep an eye out for that Filth. Or anything else this thing might have attracted."

Alyssa attempts to find the source!

Doing so would require going in the ship, naturally. Are you going to enter the distorted ship?

If I can figure out that it's safe, sure. If I can't establish that, then I'll have the others establish a perimeter and go from there.

The ship is dimensionally twisted. Basic planar knowledge tells Alyssa that it is emphatically NOT save to go in there.

Okay, so... How would I do this? I mean, obviously I have to go in there, but what sort of thing can I do to minimize the danger here? I'm not exactly a theoretical planar mechanics degree holder in real life =p

There's not a lot you can do. Situation's fucked, this is when you call in the adventurers and hope they can reach the problem and fix it.
