Chapter Two: The Path of Metamorphosis

Oct 27, 2020 9:39 pm
As Grontha, Ruus and Tomas step through, it is no longer ruins in front of them but a small village with fields scattered around, and behind it a small castle. Anyone looking behind no longer sees the rest of the expedition, just a small forest, far less dense than the one you travelled through to get here.

The fields are filled with grain, however as you look around you see no sign of people, or farm animals.
OOC:
Can I get perception checks from you all. For reference the other two when they stepp through will be on the other side of the castle.

Destulapep and Friedl, you feel the warm welcoming energy as you step into watchtower. There are circular stairs leading up, and the body is slumped nearby. Behind you is one entrance, out which you can see fields slowly leading into a forest. Out the other, the one Destulep saw through there are more fields, and then the castle, only about 10 minutes walk away.
OOC:
Perception for you guys as well

Grontha takes a look around, curious as to where the portal has taken them, especially since she thought they were investigating ruins. Had they gone back in time perhaps, to before the ruins became ruined? She had heard of all sorts of strange things in this regard.
OOC:
Ha! There’s your 1!

Good point actually, if people are chill with me rolling them. Or I can nick the passive system from 5e. Of course you can still choose to roll them yourselves at times you think it will be useful
Fridle, Ruus and Tomas, you all realise that's its not just farm animals, and in Ruus and Tomas's case villagers, you can't see. There are no signs of birds, forest animals.

Friedl, the grain, it's not swaying, not moving as you would expect it. No wind, not even a breeze. The air, and everything else is completely still, as if in stasis

Des looks about the new world, uncertain what to expect. "What do your sharp eyes see? Any sign of our quarry?"

I'm fine with either. It's just a little hard in Pathfinder, particularly in this situation, because there are so many modifiers and possible re-rolls.
Oct 28, 2020 5:56 pm
"Nothing. An impressive nothing actually!
Even the very air is still. If this is the eye of a storm, I am almost scared to imagine the power of it.

As for our quarry, we'll have to go deeper I'm guessing."

OOC:
I am OK with you rolling, particularly in scenarios such as this where you’d otherwise be posting to ask for rolls - keeps the game flowing much nicer. Hell to be honest, you could even roll offscreen and just post with the results unseen and it would be fine for this sort of thing.

Fair, I will bear that in mind for the future.
Des you do not notice the stillness, but your eyes are again drawn to the body sprawled near the stairs. There are no obvious wounds, and with no outer clothes it is hard to tell who they once were, but the figure you think was once feminine.

Tomas sees an empty village, where there should have been a ruin. He expects it to be a portal to a distant place or a well-made illusion.

He calls out Hello!?

Ruus carefully unlimbers his spear.

"Careful, we have no idea what that's doing there, or what did it."

Des roughly handles the corpse. There is no deference for the shell, her spirit has fled. He checks her puffer for the signs they were given, tokens or talismans. And his eyes, too, seek explanation for her demise.

The corpse holds nothing of value, either she held nothing, or everything she had was removed, like her outer clothes. Des is unsure as to her death she seems shrivelled, no moisture left in her body.


Tomas, there is something about this that sees more like planar magic, unfortunately with no expertise in the subject you can't figure much bar that. At first there is no answer to the shout, and then suddenly there is pulse. A pulse that feels wrong, that everyone feels, even Des and Friedl, coming from the castle.

Tomas you feel something shift in the air, like you are being watched. Like something as noticed you.

"Friedl. There is nothing here in this woman. But that pulse, did you feel it? You're more mystically atuned than I. What say you?" He stands, his hands checking his weapons subconsciously. He looks hard at the castle expecting to see a flash of movement.
Nov 3, 2020 5:36 am
"I felt it. Not quite sure what it means though"

Friedl motion absent-mindedly at the body as he try to make sense of the pulse he felt.

"She might be the one we are looking for."

Tomas, performs some experiments. First to determine the direction of the pulse. Then he touches the dimensional wall gingerly testing it - can he breach it?
He also looks at his Wayfinder.
He also performs a dozen other small experiments to determine how much this world differs from his. Gravity, magic, ect...
