It warps and mutates anything that has prolonged contact with it, twisting them into forms more like those which crafted the orb, meaning that these creatures may well have been simple spiders or reptiles, or perhaps both, that dwelt near it and mutated or merged into these monstrosities you have put down.
Utilizing the pocket dimension we have uncovered would be a fantastic way to ensure that it doesn't come into contact with anything, for even burying it risks worms and other similar creatures to mutate into horrific versions of their former selves. However, placing it within this pocket dimension would mean that we would not be able to utilize it for food storage, for the orb will corrupt and wither all around it, its foul alien magics may even not be subject to the time-warping effect of the pocket dimension.
When asked what else can be done about the orb and if destroying it is possible, the naga once more relates that it is beyond his current power, and far beyond conventional means of destruction. Perhaps one day our society will advance in magical fields of knowledge enough to permanently end the threat this orb represents, but that day is many generations away.
Do we store the orb in the pocket dimension, barring its use as a food storage area, or do we seek some other means of sealing it away?
