Arranging yourselves around the portal Thodan reaches out and speaks the command phrase to activate the portal "Part the veil of the universe for me" after a few seconds the portal stabilises and fully connects to it's companion.
Stepping thru the archway, you cannot see farther than a dozen feet in front of you. A thick fog blows around you and blots out the rest of the world. You can tell that you are treading on rough ground made up of muddy soil and rock. The sound of the winds fills your ears, and a moderately cool breeze has the taste and smell of seawater-not salty, but fresh, like the Sea of Fallen Stars, Wyvernwater, or the Dragonmere.
As you move about, you see piles of branches scattered about, some burned into charcoal and others appearing to have been chopped apart with axes. The bones and skulls of various large animals are also present. You recognise old horse skulls and deer antlers among the debris. Some of the bones are broken open and scarred by knives or claws. Everything has the look of having been recently tossed here, like a debris pile by a construction area.
OOC: Sorry about the delay. I actually thought I was still waiting on the group to decide what portal to use.
