[QUOTE="Ambrus, post: 3863187, member: 17691"] Istvan had expected some kind of fight as soon as he stepped through the magic portal. The whisper gnome had heard of such ancient portals and had even used such an eldritch gateway to leap across the Sea of Fallen Stars in a single step a few years earlier. It was the wayfarer's belief that such still-functional relics of the past were usually highly sought and closely guarded, so expecting the worse, Istvan had his goggles down, his scarf up over his nose and his right hand on the H-shaped grip of the katar slung across his back when he stepped through the swirling vapors of the portal. Appearing in a bustling marketplace took the gnome somewhat by surprise, and so he stood there uncertainly for a few moments until he was bumped in the back by the knee of one of his larger companions as he stepped through behind him. Stepping to the side, Istvan remains on guard as a tall woman in strangely spiked armor approaches their portal, only a half step behind a towering blue-eyed man of some humanesque species.
