Message: <blockquote data-quote="pathfinderq1" data-source="post: 5485931" data-attributes="member: 48394">Along one wall of the common room stood a portal that connected this fine establishment with an even more reputable tavern on the island of Bacarte.  In the normal scheme of things, the portal flared to life at rare and unpredictable intervals- so there was little consternation when it began to glow softly- most of the regulars probably barely noticed at all...A few seconds later, though, it became clear that something was amiss.  The glow grew brighter, and began to strobe with kaleidescopic majesty, throwing off a twisted rainbow of color- and a thin rising wail like a distant teakettle grew as the colors did.  In the space of three heartbeats, as some of the patrons no doubt began to move towards cover (and others reached for weapons), the light grew into a blinding flash- and then vanished.  Those sensitive to the aura of arcane magic would have sensed a similar fluctuation in the aura of the room itself.As eyes readjusted to the sudden change in illumination, it seemed as if another figure had entered the tavern- but not through the door, and not in the typical fashionof the portal.  Standing in front of the now-darkened gate was a slender figure wrapped in a billowing cloak of deep green with black embroidery.  While a deep hood hid the figure's face, one green-gloved hand protruded from the cloak's cover to grasp a silvery staff.  A second hand floated disembodied before the cloaked figure, still clutching the rapidly-disintegrating shreds of a ritual scroll.The concealing hood swiveled around, scanning the room carefully- and the figure took a cautious step backwards at what it saw, only to bump into the solid wall of the portal.  "Well, THAT was not what I was expecting...," a quiet voice murmured from under the hood.[sblock= OOC]>Character sheet still being worked on, but wanted to get things rolling a bit.  Third character (new)- Mina, eladrin wizard (mage) 1[/sblock]</blockquote>
