(Homebrew D&D) Breaking New Ground

[Argent Silvermage]

Zyrial has been standing at attention the entire time. His mother was as cold as ever. He loved her dearly but was thankful that he was raised by nannys. " My Queen, I want you to know how honored I am to do this for our people. I also want to say as your son I will miss my parents dearly. I am prepaired to leave. Please have someone look after the aerie and check my falcolns. Arrow can accompany me is this correct? or will the amulet only function for me?"
He turns to his charges. "Are we ready? If so we go with the gods and the graces of our King and Queen."
Zyrial's blond hair blowing in the wind are a direct contrast to his dark forest green leathers. On the gauntlet on his left arm is perched his hawk named Arrow.

 

[Arknath]

The Queen turns her gaze to her silent son, "Yes, my son, Arrow may accompany you as a companion, but he must be in contact with you for him to come back with you."

She watches as you prepare to enter the portal.

 

[Chauzu]

Felkhourn rearranges her equipment one last time and will cautiously enter the portal with the others.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Zyrial salutes his mother and enters the portal. On the side he will take defensive stance and guard the gateway until the rest come through. Arrow will take to the air as soon as they cross and scout the area.

 

[Keia]

As Zykovian approached the portal he wondered, I wonder if I can make out the others on the other side of the portal? He paused briefly looking through the portal then turned back to look over his home perhaps for the last time.

Zykovian followed his cousins through the portal into the forest beyond. When Zykovian reaches the other side, he activates Animal Affinity to improve his agility [Dexterity] and looks through the forest for potential dangers.

[Manzanita]

Ulysses will pass through the portal, with a smile to friends & family. He holds his bat, Margo, in his hands as he passes through.

 

[electric-ant]

Ellar enters the portal with the others.

 

[Arknath]

Zyrial is the first to experience the new world, as he boldly steps through the portal and emerges in a forest that consists of many tall and thick trees. A quick glance gives Zyrial the impression that these trees are hundreds, maybe thousands, of years old. He requests Arrow to use his flight to get a better idea of their surroundings. After a quick circle, Arrow gives a cry that all is well and there is nothing that speaks of danger for the party.

Zykovial views these actions as he ponders on the other side of the portal. He witnesses Arrow’s quick flight and Zyrial’s defensive stance, and so he himself goes into the forest along with Felkhourn. Concentrating on the powers of his mind, Zyrial manifests a power that changes his eyes to those of a feline’s, and his moves are more graceful. Upon entering the forest, the two elves’ guess is as good as any to where they are and in what direction they will head.

Ulysses grips Margo gently, walking through the portal with the calm of a practiced expert. Ellar accompanies him at his side, and at last the party is in a strange new land.

Zyrial takes a look at the sky and guesses that it is several hours past dawn here, if time works the same as on his home planet. If so, that would put the hour at about three after moonfall [ooc; moonfall is usually 6:00am to 6:45, give or take a few minutes. There is little need for exact time in your culture, since you live for centuries, and you measure time during the day in hours after moonfall and time during the night in hours after moonrise. Your people favor the hours of dawn and dusk and prefer to take their reverie during the day or night when possible. These times are sacred and must be spent in silence at the very least and self reflection (meditation, not reverie) at the most]. Also, if the sun rises and sets in the same direction here as it does at home, then the sun has risen in the east and there is not a cloud in the sky.

"Well cousins; were here! Now lets get this rolling." Zyrial casts Animal trick on Arrow and gives the command 'find a watering hole and return to me with the location.'

"We need to find a place to camp for today and this is a fairly good place. Ulysses, could you send Margo scouting? If we encounter a cave that might offer shelter that would be wonderful and Margo would be able to check it better than the rest of us. Zykovial can you detect any "presences" in the area? I'm kind of at a loss with what you are capable of. Felkhourn and Ellar scout please. We need to know as much about the area were in as we can get. Shelter is our number one priority at the moment."

Zyrial stands with the sun of an alien world warming his face and thinks "My brother will never know this amount of excitement. He will always be chained to a throne."

 

[Keia]

"Well, cousin Zyrial," Zykovian said, "My psionic abilities are primarily keyed around my martial ability. I can enhance my body and mind, and provide some healing to myself and to a lesser extent, others. I feel I am fairly good at finding things, spotting things, and, assuming we find natives, communicating with them - though if we don't know the language I may be in a bind there. I can accompany Fellkourn and Ellar in scouting the immediate area."

Zykovian drinks in the surroundings, marveling at the size and age of the trees in this forest. These are truly wondrous trees, untouched by any hands. Hopefully, the rest of this realm is similar - that would make it an excellent new home." Zykovian thought.
