Octagon - Another Purpose - Game Thread.

The Doorkeper turned his gaze towards Nyom and replied:
"Your understanding is not correct - If anyone from your resettlement will find the place to which his heart and soul belongs, in order to pledge for Settlement majority will be required, whatever target entity is, and you are not majority anyways, but the thing is that four of your resettlement can't find better place than the one, to which they are being guided by hands of Daar La, so, probably you will need to adapt to the best of your friends" - and he made slight head movement towards Ronna.



He added, addressing eveyone "Enter the Door please. Ones who didn't recieved guide can ask for it from The Door... Unless you want to "drink" from Cannons of Acceptance."


If your character asked the questions, it's better to enter the Door, if your character does not want to anger the gunners.
If your character did recieved proper guidance yet, he can ask standing within "The Door" .
New Turn, Everyones action required, Ronna and OOLIN can move to The Door and ask in same turn

I will need moves of T'Jekyll and Nyom to complete the turn to ensure anyone enters the gate and do not anger the gunners

As Nyom entered the pavillion, white light blinded our party members for few seconds.

At next moment they were in completely different, new place.





SOUNDTRACK : HERE

Party members were standing on top of the small pyramid. The top of the pyramid was flat and around 3 metres in diameter. The pyramid itself was about 2 metres high, and had stairs at the side, which was facing long, endless gray wall.
The huge stone wall was covered by moss and random vegetation, which adapted to grow on completely vertical, but un-even surface. It was very tall - around 100 metres high , but not as hight as enormous black wall to the left side of the party which was cutting the gray wall there. That, seemingly, was the same black wall which devided octants. The stone wall was ending at party's left side in about 300-400 metres at the black octant wall, and to other side - party's right side - it was stretching towards the horizon, and was seemingly endless.

Starting from the black wall, and running towards the horison, gray stone wall had numerous stone triangle-shaped balconies, which were placed at hight of about 30-50m . From here our party noticed human figures there - those were white-clad Dogmats. Those balconies were full of cannons and other different numenera and devices, and probably were some kind of watching posts, from which they were observing wide flat area to which the party arrived.

This area, on which the pyramid was situated, was wide and flat. Starting from the black wall, it was running towards the horizon at party's right following the gray wall it's edge was drawing zigzag line on the background of quite dark forest, which was filling everything beyond area's edge. At it widest point the area was around 130m, and at its narrowest - around 70m.
It was on the same level as tree tops, but since the trees looked like really enormous ones, it was apparent that the area is situated around at hight of at least 20-30 metres above the ground - above the forest, ending it.

It was cold rainy weather, quite strong and cold rain suddenly washed their faces, and the temperature was lower than the foggy landscape of the Gateholds. The visibility was much better than at Gateholds, but still not as good because of heavy rain and the evaporation coming from the wall.

At their level - at edge of the flat zig-zag area - in the wall party noticed numerous triangle-shaped arcs, and people inside. All those arcs were emitting evaporation and warm dim light.

Then they noticed few people standing not far from them, and not far from the stairs of the pyramid. It were simple people, wearing quite simply and dirty clothes, which were wathing the newcomers with utter curiosity. Right near the stairs was group of people, which looked like beggars. They were dirty, one of them had one arm, they were old, and most of them revealed almost toothless mouths when they started to smile, excited by the "show" of newcomer arrival. As Zinobia made his first step towards the stairs, they all rushed towards the stairs, stretching their arms and mumbling something. "Food, food, you have food" - they mumbled, as some young woman rushed towards those people and pulled them all aside, and said : "Stop, leave the settlers alone, before Dogmats will feed you and the settlers with their Acceptance".

Sorry forgot completely something important:

Each character within the party gets 1 XP point. New places. New Experience.

I will need T'Jekylls, OOLINs and Nyoms post in order to determine if party agrees to follow Horoika or not.
