He moves to help them towards the gates. Squeaking a little now and again from the pain, Kaeni did her best to keep a hold of Ran'at and Mercury. As they approached the gateway she tried to eke out a thanks, but it just came out as a hacking cough and several gasps. Instead of doing that then, she shook him away and gestured for him to go help the others - who knew, after all, if they'd even be allowed to come back to help after entering the Gates. With another couple deep breaths of strain, she heaved Mercury through the gates with her. They were wide open already, but seemed to be empty, leading to nowhere: just s standing doorway with no room. But stepping through, the entire mountain suddenly shone bright white, and all the pain vanished. Quote They've effectively stepped into a different dimension, so Mercury would be awake through here. @The Wandering Wizard
PyroPhile Posted January 28, 2023 Posted January 28, 2023 Ran'at walks back from the gates, tempting they may be, to help Il'anque.
NerdyAarakocra They/Them Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 (edited) Il'anque stirred and looked up. "What... what just happened?" @PyroPhile Edited January 29, 2023 by NerdyAarakocra

NerdyAarakocra They/Them Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 Just now, PyroPhile said: "I think we won." "What? I remember a wyvern, and those vines and then there was a bow, and then I wake up here..." Il'anque trailed off. "Could you help me up?"
PyroPhile Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 Just now, NerdyAarakocra said: "Could you help me up?" "I will."
NerdyAarakocra They/Them Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 Il'anque got up with Ran'at's help and started limping towards the gates.
Channelknight Fadran Posted January 29, 2023 Author Posted January 29, 2023 @The Bookwyrm @Frustration @Tani Quote I'll have the next thing happen eventually...ish. Just hop on through the portal and we can move along.
NerdyAarakocra They/Them Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 Il'anque made it to the gates and barely managed to stumble through.
The Bookwyrm he/him Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 Avi lay there in the darkness of sleep, and a voice came to her. You cannot stop just yet. You have a future. I have things I need you to do, Avi. But you also have things you need to do, against the will of anyone else. Go. This is not your end. A faint glimmer of strength filled Avi, like a single star in a deep void. She woke up, Managed to get to her knees, and crawled to the shining portal. A flash of blinding white, and suddenly her pain and exhaustion vanished.

What happened?"
PyroPhile Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 Ran'at looked for others who needed help. Quote Is everybody else through?
Frustration Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 Quote Isek will just follow after you guys for a second. Sorry, my RP energy is spent right now. I should be able to get back in sometime in the near future.

PyroPhile Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 Ran'at, not seeing anybody else who needed help, walked through the gates.

Channelknight Fadran Posted January 30, 2023 Author Posted January 30, 2023 Quote I'm going to stop summoning everybody every time something happens by default. If you'd like to stay up-to-date then lemme know and I'll tag you in the important posts. Kaeni came to her feet and looked around, then glanced in a panic at her arm - but it seemed completely unharmed. In fact, she couldn't seem to find the stab wound from earlier either, and her back felt completely fine despite her crashing through all those crystals. Had the Gate healed her somehow? But no, that wouldn't make any sense: healing would still leave her absolutely exhausted from burning all that energy. Which meant... "I don't think we're in our... bodies bodies."

Channelknight Fadran Posted January 30, 2023 Author Posted January 30, 2023 Quote If he's had it for awhile and it's magical, then yes
PyroPhile Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 Ran'at breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his arm was normal- well, normal for him.

"How are we supposed to forge our scythes if we're not here physically? For that matter, doesn't it mean that our exhausted, wounded bodies are just lying there, vulnerable on the mountaintop?"
