They find themselves in a long tunnel, with a door ahead of them made of energy. </p><p></p><p>The five move forward and through the door. Before them they see two huge god-like beings, each several hundred feet tall, locked in battle with each other. One is wearing robes, the other is in shiny armor. A large green hand reaches over and grabs Ilma. To say that that has the others more than a bit concerned would be an understatement. Suddenly the side of a nearby mountain cracks, and thunder and lightning strike. “I hope they don’t blame this on the Silver Moon,” Guice comments. The world suddenly turns black for all of them, and the party finds that each of them cannot move. </p><p></p><p>Fiona is the first to reorient herself, hearing “Yohoo, look at this” as a female voice gleefully takes inventory of the items in Fiona’s backpack. With some difficulty, she manages to move her head and begin to move her arms, seeing a female halfling pawing Fiona’s possessions, with their other backpacks piled beside the halfling as well, with several items having been taken out of each “Can I ask you to stop that?” “Oh, geez,” the halfling states, jumping with a bit of a start. The others also begin to move, Opal being a bit more forceful, telling the rather slender halfling “Stop what you’re doing!” </p><p></p><p>“I’m Remo, and I wasn’t doing anything,” the halfling answers, while simultaneously taking more items from Fiona’s pack. Fiona says “Why don’t you set those down before you set off something dangerous.” Fiona suggests. “Yeah, like Freyland or Guice,” Guice comments. </p><p></p><p>They all approach the halfling, and ask “Where are we?” “Near the citadel,” the halfling answers. “What citadel? We’re not from around here,” Fiona states. “We were kind of dumped here, we’re not entirely sure how or why” Guice adds. Remo gets her first look at the 300 pound Vincenzo, and comments “Wow, who caused that to happen to him?” “Marriage,” Guice replies. Fiona explains how Vinnie is a priest who has a very large family.” </p><p></p><p>Guice suggest to Vinnie that he use his Boots of Levitation to scout around. He does so, with the halfling commenting “I’ve heard of the Flying Nun, but never a floating priest.” Vinnie sees some water in the distant, which freaks out hydrophobic Freyland. Guice tells the gnome “We figured it was time for your annual bath.” Freyland reminds them that he got soaked in the hurricane the previous August, which qualifies as that. </p><p></p><p>The halfling Remo adds to her name the title The Dragon Slayer. The party are a bit skeptical about the title. Guice says, “Fine, have it your way. If any dragons show up, they’re all yours.” Opal asks “So, what exactly was that when we arrived and what is going on here?” </p><p></p><p>“I believe I can answer that question” a voice from behind them states. They turn to see three demi-humans before them, a female elf, a female gnome, and a female halfling. Remo is in awe, and the others realize that these are not normal humanoids before them. The introduce themselves, revealing them to be three of the most prominent deities of these three races, namely Correlon Leththan, Millissa Stonemarcher, and Shella Ptrertol. </p><p></p><p>The deities explain how there is a cosmic war between the deities of two human pantheons taking place on this world. In response to the discussion of the God War Guice exclaims “We didn’t do it. Honest!” It is explained to Vincenzo that he will not be able to get spells from his two deities, being told that they are “nothing on this particular world.” Freyland points to Vinnie, saying “He weighs over 300 pounds! How can you say he’s nothing anywhere?” </p><p></p><p>They are told that the rod they are seeking is located in a dwarven citadel. It is explained how dwarves built this great structure, but how the death god Nerull then attacked it, taking it over with the essence of death. It is said that over 6,000 dwarves died. The half-elf Guice comments “So, what’s the downside in that?” That flip and racist comment totally offends the dwarf Opal, who yells “Remind me to never hang out with the Silver Moon! This is why the Da’Bears group separated, and why I will never adventure with you guys again.” “Is there a downside to that too?” is Guice’s comment. </p><p></p><p>The group proceeds onward. The party discusses all the weirdness that is on this world, with god wars going on and magic not functioning as expected. Guice adds “Yeah, and I heard that there is also an eight-percent meals tax.” The group debates how to proceed. Freyland suggests that they are over thinking it, that they just need to “Go get the stick.” The group agrees, with Opal muttering “All this for a stupid stick that the Silver Moon won’t even let my team use.” </p><p></p><p>They ask Remo to tell them more about herself.

Guice suggests “Why don’t we lash the short people together into a raft, and float across on them.” “That would kill them?” Vinnie states.

Give it time” Freyland retorts. They reach the village which is deserted, but Remo says there is a city just a mile or so futher, which would also have boats.
