Spren of Kindness Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 Quote Welcome to The Fellowship of the Thing - Earth edition! Title is temporary - it's the year we'll be in. Once I come up with a better title, I'll change it, because it's kind of bland. Our characters: Ayia - Channelknight Fadran Craven - Matrim's Dice Queen - DramaQueen Ely - Knight of Iron Martin - Spren of Kindness Martin walks out of the portal, and nicely, does not find himself floating through zero-g. Rather the opposite, in fact. There's dirt and rocks under his feet, and a slightly overcast sky overhead. The air smells - not quite clear, but not bad, either. Where ever they've ended up, it's reasonably safe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DramaQueen Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 Queen steps out and looks around. "This is...rather underwhelming. Do all portals let out in the most boring part of the planet?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) Quote Are there buildings in the distance? Idk how we're imagining Earth 700+ years from now but I'm not even completely sure if the continents would be in the same place. Edit: Or no I guess they would be 700 years is a lot less than I'm thinking lol Edited August 27, 2021 by Matrim's Dice 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just now, Matrim's Dice said: Quote There are - further down the mountain, there's a small town. Even from this distance it looks somewhat ramshackle. As for continents moving, tectonic plates move so slowly that I doubt there's significant change. But for the fun of it, Madagascar is now North Madagascar and South Madagascar. 4 minutes ago, DramaQueen said: "So, where is here? And what exactly are we doing?" "I'm not sure where we are. We'll figure out what we're doing once we find that out." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote So, there's not a lot of remarkable things that you would be able to see. The town is a decently-sized settlement, with a distinctly ramshackle, on-edge appearance to it. There's a pair of low guard towers, one to the northwest, and the other east. And there are a lot of small farms that are apparent among the woods. Other than that, it's mostly just wooded mountains with rivers, a couple logging scars on a foothill closer to town, and one main road that looks a lot more well-traveled than any of the roads leading to the farms.

So they're probably above the equator, in the Eastern Hemisphere. "Should be safe enough." And if it is an outpost, there's a good chance he can get in touch with some of his contacts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
