The Longest Night

[*Selebius]

"The portal to Plague Mort you two researched...? John you were doing some scouting, right? And Thist.. you were researching the Guvner's records, yes?"

He looks at both of them, then continues. "I suggest we go there as soon as we can and rest there... we were told time is important. You two know how to get there, know how to get back.... and we have the keys."

[*Selebius]

"I leave them in Thist's care. After all I have the tendency to hurt myself.", he says with some dry humour.

Following John he tucks the scroll he bought away, keeping it with his scroll of Cure Light wounds. Who knows when they will need them?

[*Midnight]

They make their way to The Lower Ward, and a tavern that has a Herozu on its sign. It would be easy for John to retrace his steps from there, and soon they stand in an alley before an archway.

[*Selebius]

"So here we are." Norman looks around then at John for confirmation. "Note says Oceanus water is needed... so are we ready?"

[*Darkrob]

John firms up the Harness on Ben, ensuring the hound knows it's time to work. He then strings his bow and unclips the beltguard on his axe. Notching an arrow, just in case, he then nods to Norman.

"Open it... I'll go first"

Then he waits for the telltale flash of the portal

[*LiquidDreamer]

Thist waits for the portal to open like John.

[*Midnight]

As the water is poured there is a humming sound and a round red portal flickers open. Asthe portal opens and through it they see buildings, a twisted shanty town of kips and squats made of rotting timbers and rusted metal. All around the place razorvine grows running rampant and unchecked int he streets. The only exception is a towering structure that cuts through the skyline, a large keep the top of which seems to shine as the weak light from the spire gleams and reflects of something metallic along the top

[*Selebius]

Norman follows John through the portal, the bleak surroundings making him uncomfortable.
He heard the planes can be odd, hostile and so very different to the prime he is used to but seeing all this after he just got somewhat used to navigate Sigil is a disturbing experience.

Mumbling a quick, silent prayer to collect his thoughts he then looks around, trying to find some locals he could ask for this adress- or perhaps some signs or other marks that could show them their way.

[*Darkrob]

The first thing to do was to assess the situation. As a military scout, John would often find himself behind enemy lines and had to ensure he had a firm grasp on the immediate dangers around him. A quick scan of all directions around him and a glimpse at the skyÂ… followed by a glance at Ben to see if he was alarmed by anything.

If it seemed safe, he would then stand aside. He would keep his bow stung and his axe unclipped either way. Letting down his guard here was not an option.

[*LiquidDreamer]

Like the others Thist takes a long look at the other side before doing or saying anything. After watching John and Ben and seeing there is no danger, he steps through to the other side.
