[stonegod]

An older halfling, seeming tending his similarly aged clawtooth mount, looks at the group with weary suspicion. He shakes his head as the portal clears. This trip is going to be the death of me. Everyone else has vanished. Sighing, he looks to the shifter a moment before addressing the newcomers. That's Gark. I am called Haltor. Did the Cannith woman send you, were you magically kidnapped by gobs, or did the Traveller's own luck bring you?

"I saw neither a woman, nor goblins. And yes there was a traveler, but he was hopefully not THE Traveler. He looked more like a crazy mage... I may say such things, as this was said about me, too." Deimos adds the last with a smile that seems friendly, despite his pointed teeth.

A genasi appears, still laughing at something from the other side of the portal. The laughter cuts off suddenly when he sees the others on edge.

He leans, almost casually, on his glaive, one of its feathers wafting in the dark cloud streaming off his head. “Gentlemen… What’d I miss in the half second it took to appear?”

He wears scale armor etched intricately with the book of Aureon on each scale. The backpack and scrollcase on his back shift audibly as he relaxes his stance. After Haltor’s introduction he makes his own, including his quieter companions, “I’m Mal. This,” he gestures to the human following him in, “is Tock. The minotaur behind us is Talos…”

With the tension fading he smiles at the group and his slate eyes shine. Ebon geomantic lines on his charcoal skin warp how the eye perceives his face.

“We were sitting in a tavern and a wizard recruited us. How else do these things start?”

 

[raion]

A human wearing worn leather armor and a battered helm hops through after the others. There's a short sword in his hand, and he looks around quickly taking stock of the situation.
"Doesn't look like a trap to me.." then he notices the others already talking. He waves a greeting with his off-hand, "Tock"

[ShadRS]

A minotaur holding a hammer with a lute case strapped to his back comes diving through the portal screaming ". . . portals!"He blinks a bit at all the people standing around and pushes himself upright using his craghammer. Once upright, he dusts himself off, and bows while clearing his throat. "Greetings, I am Talos."

He pulls the lute from his back and carefully inspects it, casting eyes at the others as he does so. Apparently satisfied, he replaces it upon his back. "So did I miss anything?"

[evilbob]

The shifter, for possibly the first time in his life, is at a loss for words. His mouth opens and closes a few times, but nothing comes out. Finally, after it is clear that the newcomers are not there to kill them, he simply looks at them each in turn, blinking frequently.

[sblock=ooc]I was SOOOO close to saying "you look trustworthy!" [/sblock]

 

[FourMonos]

"Right."

Braddock turns around and takes in the view. He turns back to the halfling and the shifter.

"So what is so blarthing important some mage transports us here to save the world?"

 

[stonegod]

Haltor sighs as he straightens. He looks over to the door on this side of the fiery walkway. Long story short: Some Cannith woman wants something from here. Someone employing hobs and such is mucking around with dangerous Cannith research. Looks to be construct related, from what we can tell from the crazy undead scion that's floating about here somewhere. We suspect they're behind that door somewhere. No idea why your mage sent us here. If his not Cannith, then this things just getting weirder.

Deimos Vrago, Tiefling Wizard (Mage)

"Maybe a weird adventure needs a weird group of adventurer's to solve. In that case we have maybe already won." Deimos says with another grin, knowing that a group containing a genasi, a tiefling and a minotaur is not common place... and Braddock and Tock seem a bit weird, too, not that he would tell them....
