Won't the limit stop pregnancies?

The population cap doesn't effect that.  There's a separate entry in the init file for managing births.

Get off the ground!

Drawing yourself back from the ground, the whole world seams to violently heave for a moment, before everything goes black once.  Awareness persists, but you feel a shift..

You become aware of the cell you remember, but it is only clean-dressed white stone, and the molten remains of the four chains lie on the floor.  You can see a clear outline of where a door would swing inward across the room.

Be prepared to break the tower if they act hostile, but otherwise keep watching

The creatures continue staring for a brief moment, then quickly snap into activity.  They all begin to gesture, and you feel a strange sensation of tiredness come over you, and the edges of your vision seem to be fading.  The sky flashes green, then white, before returning to normal.

Back up a bit so you don't attract their attention, then fly up and examine the sky

Shifting backward until the structure seems a safe distance away, you draw yourself up into the air, seemingly effortlessly.  Gliding around, the sky itself seems to be slowly shifting between purple and red.  It flickers jarring green for a moment, before returning to normal. 

Try to find an entrance to the building away from the creatures.

The building itself seems to consist of a very thin crystal, though it oddly distorts everything you see through it.  You see no visible entrance,  but it looks very fragile, and likely could be broken with ease, if not quietly.  The chanting reaches a lower pitch, and a faint chill settles into place.

Rise into the air and survey the area.

Try to get close enough to see/hear the figures, but move stealthily!

You are struck by the urge to watch them from above, but the realization that these creatures may be hostile strikes you. Though you have no apparent form, it does not mean you cannot be seen.  Creeping closer to the structure, one of the figures appears to be gesturing with what could be called arms, though the creature itself only has a vaguely humanoid shape.  You can hear the faint sound of chanting from inside the structure. 

Go to the lands beyond the pillar

Moving past the pillar, you can see the discolored grasslands come closer as you move forward, and the sense of wrongness continues to build.  The grass itself seems to be turning a deep purple as you continue moving, and looking back, you can no longer see the pillar.  A familiar nausea seems to build in you.
