Re: The Sundered Way
For the next minute, he painstakingly inscribes in glittering chalk and ink a series of concentric circles marked with multiple runes, patterns and insignia.
As he finishes, the rings flash with arcane energies, consuming the room he had drawn and beginning to twirl and rotate, rising to rejoin into a plane perpendicular to the ground, and coalesce into a shimmering blue surface.
He rummages in his robes, before pulling out and pressing a medallion into Randy's hands. "Yeh'll need this, quickly now, go!"
He ushers you all towards the shimmering blue circle, urging you to step through.

Re: The Sundered Way
Maji is as loud as he normally is. Which to say, not very. He quickly goes into the glowing circle and waves at the dwarf.

Re: The Sundered Way
A waving Maji goes first, vanishing through the surface as if gently submerging himself face first into water.

Re: The Sundered Way
Holger keeps a curious eye on Kreldoran as he works with his crystals in the tower and inscribes his teleoortation circle. With detect magic on of course.
"a neat reward could be some sort of defensive magic item that could help deflect attacks.
He'll go through the portal, readying himself for trouble.
((I read the forcing wind at Ulmwin as a rather different version not involving magic, but a lot more force.
Also sorry for dropping the ball on this game and not posting during this. Holger would have shown a slight fondness and familiarity with the magical stoves)

Ulmwin is utterly fascinated with some random trinket on one of the walls, and misses his cue.
Ulmwin files through as quickly as possible..!

Re: The Sundered Way
Tess jumps through *skloop*, and Kreldoran gives Coljin a shove *schlorp*.
"Good luck!"
Ok, who wants to roll stats on your new characters first?
Maji, Dornikal, Holger, Randy, Tess and Coljin emerge on the other side, one after the other, finding themselves in a square room, a circle similar to the one in Kreldoran's tower the focus of the vertical gateway you step from, which remains open.
A stone door slams open, a harried looking human man in silver robes rushing in, flanked by two guards carrying clubs and shields. They seem the no nonsense sort, and you get the feeling that reaching for your own weapons wouldn't be a good start to things.
"What have you six done! Why isn't it closing?! Who are you!", Silver Robes shrieks.

Re: The Sundered Way
"Ummm....hello? We didn't do anything. We were sent here through...that. It's not our spell, so we don't know anything about it."
Randy spreads his hands with a bit of shrug and smiles disarmingly (hopefully).

Re: The Sundered Way
Holger steps forward with courteous bow. Not having the faintest idea about teleportation spell he decides to just make something up.
"Greetings, my name is Holger Starwind. This is 1 way transportation portal created by a dwarven wizard. It should close any moment now. As for who I and my motley crew are.
Most of us were traveling entertainers by trade but have grown to much more than that since the last festival of hope at circle vale. There we saved people captured by a cult worshipping a maddening aberation and stopped them from completing whatever ritual they had planned.
I could continue a tale of our deeds but I'm more curious about who you are. "
Holger arcana: 1d20+2 = [1] = 3

Re: The Sundered Way
"Oh, go stand over there, you long winded fool!"
Two more figures in similar robes rush in, and more fellows with clubs, that latter of which corral the six of you to one side of the room while the three guys in robes convene to frantically discuss things.
One of the first two guards, a fellow with a scarred upper lip, quietly speaks to Randy, "You said it wasn't your spell, and the pompous one mentioned a wizard... One of you at least have a pass? They'll charge you the full rate, otherwise."

Randy shows the guard the medallion that Kreldoran gave him. " I assume that's what this thing is? He didn't really explain much. Just shoved it in my hands and ran us through."

Re: The Sundered Way
Holger will glare at the guy calling him a fool, rubbing his thumb against his fingers, hoping to avoid slipping a curse and fire bolt to his face. He'll glance over the others with his detect magic he cast to study the portal.

Maji grins as the man calls Holger a fool and pulls out his boardand writes
Fool
<-----------
In large letters, making sure the arrow points to Holger at all times.

Re: The Sundered Way
"Where are you...?" The guards exchange a glance. "You're in the sanctum of Deneir..."
"Yeah, that's the pass...", the guard reaches to take it from Randy, who notices that the candle depicted on the medallion is a close match for the one on the left breast of their armor.
Holger quietly fumes, while Maji quietly mocks him.
One of the silver robes calls a guard over, relaying instructions to him. "Find the Scribe Warden, let her know that three two humans, a dragonborn, a tiefling, a gnome and a dwarf have arrived, but that the circle won't complete. How does she want us to proceed?"

Re: The Sundered Way
Randy does a quick head count.
"We seem to be missing one. There's another gnome...."
"Oh, there he is. But....where's Ulmwin? We ARE missing someone!"

Re: The Sundered Way
"Not all of you came through?!"
"Could that be causing it?"
"The Scribe Warden might know..."
The three silver robes have a hurried conference, and after five minutes, in which the guards have been tensely watching you, while the silver robes tensely watch the shimmering gateway, an older human woman strides into the room.
"What's this about a circle that will not--"
*skoooooorrrp*
Ulmwin step through into the room and the rotating arcane circle winks out.
