[QUOTE="Tenchuu, post: 5348441, member: 85539"] As the adventurers passed through the planar portal, they felt as if they were pulled through the dimensional rift, guts first. Luckily, the nauseating experience ended almost as soon as it began; they staggered out the other side, the force of the magic pushing them a bit. They stood then in a strange world, with an orange colored sky and a blue sun. The air smelled sour of sulphur and dust. Ahead, there is a small patch of travelable terrain, surrounded by steep dark walls of lava stone scree and an almost bottomless cliff/trench. Huge piles of stone and rock lie just beyond the portal here, and there are several wheel barrows here as well [SIZE=1](not pictured)[/SIZE]. Wheel barrow tracks go from the portal to the edge of the cliff. Their view ahead is dominated by a large statue of a winged demon, whose stoney gaze was haunting. Behind the statue loomed large gates, closed. On the ground behind the statue, there was the remains of some kind of humanoid, with an axe stuck between two ribs about where the heart was.
