The Astral Plane!!!
As the party materializes in the Astral Plane, several things become immediately clear: this is not home.
Naturally, the Wizards think nothing of pausing in mid-air and bickering back and forth. Why not, it's only the Astral!
Quickly the Cleric, Xanfire, wades in, seeing their argument as a zone of differently-colored space surrounding them, different shapes that can be identified as "points", "counter-points" and other "dynamics" bursting from them both, as well as ripples of emotions like turquoise "doubt" and red-purple "frustration". Xanfire interrupts their flow with an aura of mellow golden "diplomacy", changing the color scheme of the entire argument.
The rest of the party, meanwhile, is treated to this and other sights. First Hedron, then Thorn, notice far distant a strange sense of "depth" that otherwise doesn't have any place on this plane.
The hypnotic, psychadelic patterns in space that make up the Astral Plane have in them a giant shape, with the Astral equivalent of black clouds on the horizon surrounding it. Strange patterns of energy and emotion are coming from it, and really: it's not looking like a friendly place to be.
This may be where you're intended to go. You can't see it very well from here at all.
