The Princess

At the others calling, she pauses and scans the sky with her elven eyes. "Hmm. Where? Do they even raise young together?"

IF she spots it and thinks it is indeed a dragon and doesn't have time, she will abandon the autopsy and exit.

IF she spots it and thinks it isn't a dragon, or she has time, she'll continue cutting.

Revised Post For Lerrick and Cresty

Cresty

Upon hearing the warning from Wes the fighter moves towards the portal with his newly aquired weapon drawn. As he enters and moves into the vast darkness within his sword emits some light. He moves to the right of the entrance.

Lerrick

The cleric's interest in the dragon dissection ends at the warning of another flying creature heading towards the group. She too moves with haste into the portal entrance, reaching into a her cloak as she does so for a glow stone. She holds the stone with her left hand and moves towards the light emitting from the blade of Cresty's sword. Once there she turns to shed light for the others members of the party

White Wasteland Destruction
Removing Parts
Mid Afternoon, Cloudy, Stormy


Princess is able to plunge her magic sword through the thick hide of the dragon, causing a few of its innards to fall outwards. As she looks around for a stomach, Wes warns the group about the possibility of something horrible happening.

After losing two friends already, the rest of the group doesn't need to be told twice that they need to RUN AWAY!!!

Princess looks up from her bloody work to see she has been abandoned, and the white speck in the sky is no longer a speck, but a white dragon shaped figure flying so fast, she doesn't have time to debate the rearing habits of dragons with the others.

Those who ran immediately make it to the obelisk portal, entering the Dark Ether with light sources at the ready. Despite their illuminations, it is still pretty dark in there.

Actions?

Lerrick: (C5) AC:5 9/28 0/5 first 0/5 second 2/2 third (Light Stone)
Tlachtga (D5) AC:7 9/35 3/6 first 0/5 second 3/3 third (Light Stone)

Wes

Wes peers at Cresty through the dim light. "You've spent more time in here than I have. If another dragon starts prowling around out there, will we know? Will it be able to sense we're in here?

The Princess

"Crapcrapcrapcrap" The Princess bolts for the obelisk cursing as she goes.

If it's obvious she can't make it, she'll try to hide behind the body of the dead dragon.

Tlachtga

Holding up her light stone.

"Did everyone make it in?"

She starts doing a head count.

Lerrick

The cleric counts as well. A look of concern flashes over her face. Where's the Princess!


Cresty

The fighter moves quickly to the entrance (without venturing out) to see if she's on her way.

White Wasteland Destruction
Darker Etherer
Mid Afternoon, Cloudy, Stormy


When Princess notices that she has been left alone to deal with the oncoming threat, she too sprints for the portal and rushes inside.

Once there, she finds the remainder of the group, minus the pair they lost earlier, obviously.

Inside the Dark Ether is a pure blackness that envelops even the brightest light sources. The portal sheds the only other visible light inside, allowing natural light to enter, though without sound or smells.

The place is strange, to be sure, but it doesn't feel inherently dangerous or evil. It's just really dark and silent inside, even the floor itself appears to be nothing more than a solid black reflection.

Fortunately, no dragons decide to pay you a visit while you catch your breath there in the darkness.

Actions?

Lerrick: (C5) AC:5 9/28 0/5 first 0/5 second 2/2 third (Light Stone)
Tlachtga (D5) AC:7 9/35 3/6 first 0/5 second 3/3 third (Light Stone)
Princess AC:6 HP 5/5
Cresty: (F2) AC:4 10/17
Elnaerel (C4) AC:3 8/30 0/5 first 3/4 second
Waesfaren (D6) AC:7 8/53 3/6 first 0/5 second 2/3 third 0/1 fourth (Bullseye Lantern)

Tlachtga

"While we figure out what we are going to do we need to keep a watch on the portal in case the dragon tries sticking it's head in."

Wes

"Let's try moving a little further in", suggests Wes. "A couple of dozen yards. Keep the portal in sight, but far enough back to avoid danger if it breathes through the doorway".

Elnaerel

"Yes. We should find somewhere where we xan rest withou being attacked... Be it from the inside of the obelisk or from the outside."

The cleric of Ehlenestra is still trying to internalize all they've just gone through.

Lerrick

The cleric looks around the the vast area of darkness. I was in a place like this not too long ago. Cresty and Tlatchga were with me. We walked into darkness like what we see here...in a direction opposite of where we entered and eventually reach a place to exit the darkness...which, upon moving through it, took us into an new world where the air was hard to breath. What we encountered there is a tale for another time. Her voice trails off as she becomes preoccupied with memories of the strange expedition. After a moment she she states My guess is that if we do the same thing here we'll eventually reach an exit to another strange place.

Cresty

The fighter ignores the conversation and keeps and eye on the entrance just in case a large dragon head peers through.

The Princess

She nods along at the bedtime story from Lerrick. "Ok. Not good, I guess. But which way did you walk, and how far? I'm not a huge fan of walking blindly into the darkness."

The Princess subtly moves away from the door, encouraging others to follow as per Wes's idea.

The group move deeper into the Dark Ether, where Lerrick reminds the others that some of them have been inside a place just like this before.

No big dragons stick their head through the entrance opening, but there is a powerful audible roar that can be detected coming from outside, even through the magical portal.

The group moves in a little more, looking around through the blackness but seeing nothing but themselves, the opening, and the dimmed light given off by their magic stones and lantern.

Lerrick

I don't know how long we walked. I believe we spent some time resting at one point. Hard to keep track of time in total darkness. Tlatchga? Anything you want to add? The cleric doesn't even bother asking the fighter.


Cresty

The fighter moves back to join the party

Tlachtga

"We need to extinguish or cover up all our light sources and make it absolute darkness in here. Then we look away from this portal and allow our eyes to adjust. Then we look for a pin prick of light out there and move towards it. It will be the other portal. At least that is how the other obelisk worked."

Elnaerel nods. Then she realises her nodding won't probably be seen. Or hardly. "Ah. Let's do that, then." She doesn't like it here.

The Princess

"Ah. Makes sense to me." She nods at the Druidess's suggestion. "Either that, or we'll all be eaten in the darkness once the repelling light is extinguished."

It's hard to see if she winks in the darkness.
