As one of the players, I thought the barrier was a dome. Usually when I think magical barrier, I think of a dome.

It would be pretty stupid of BB to make a barrier that monsters could just fly over. There's a lot of monster types that can fly in some capacity.

I assumed it was a dome or maybe a cube (I was kind of thinking four "robots" at four corners making a square at the time). Either way, I figured we wouldn't have been able to just fly out of it. That'd be too easy.

Well if you read the thread, the answer is no. I didn't because I assumed there was a roof to the barrier and if my character can't break the walls, what's going to make them think the top a better choice? If it's mentioned in thread that there's no top to the barrier, then that's on me for missing that. But I wasn't going to draw out the thread which was already moving slow as molasses by having my character bump their noggin on the barrier uselessly instead saying or doing something that moves the thread forward.

So I went back again and here's a snippet of the post talking about the barrier:

The second the claws go for what remains of the body, the sapling moves backwards, just enough so that the something starts to crank and groan, as ropes seep out from the ground, sending chunks of the body everywhere. It quickly tightens in some sort of binding. Technology and magic are woven into one, with gears and cranks revealing a mechanism that almost looks like robots without legs who had been carefully buried, using the dead body and ground near it as camouflage.

Attempts to get their legs bound, as a binding circle stops them from leaving, covered in salt, silver and plants of unidentified nature. From the sheer size of things, they may have been expecting much more than just these five.


It's safe to assume that no, we couldn't just fly out. That would be leaving.
