When they trotted through......... they were greeted with such a weird sight that it boggled their minds and they all had to make DC24 Wisdom saves or suffer the Bewildered condition, which is very. very bad; much worse than Stunned or Incapacitated. The mortal brain simply couldn't comprehend it. They were on what might have been a path through a forest but everything around them was wrong.
The 'path' was covered in irregular slabs of a hard mineral substance that felt rough to the touch and was surprisingly not very cold. The 'forest' seemed to made of trees that were just greyish-brown wooden trunks with greyish-brown wooden branches all haphazardly arranged and with leaves made out of some sort of green plant-like material. Between the 'trees', there was some sort of soft green stuff made of tiny blades of grass, all pointing upwards, with little multicoloured knobbly bits here and there that looked just like flowers. The craziest part was that overhead there was a sort of blue nothing with random lumps of white fluff floating about in it.
After a few minutes silence, punctuated only by a sort of intermittent drone made by tiny living organisms armed with deadly stings, Herewulf gathered his wits together and spoke. "I don't know where we are," he said, "but I want everyone to try to disbelieve this illusion."
Nord tried very hard. He pulled out a nautical telescope and squinted through it at the forest but he couldn't see it properly because the trees got in the way. "Oi be all at sea, here," he declared.
Od toyed with his flute and tried to play the special music again but it just came out as a sequence of notes and there was no rhyme nor reason to it. "I'm at a loss for words," he said.
"Never mind that," retorted Jeli, "In case you men hadn't noticed, the girls and their unicorns didn't come through the portal with us."
"And where's Snappy?" asked Od, looking round in alarm.
But the four of them were indeed alone. Well, each of them wasn't alone because the other three were there but ... oh, you know what I mean.
"I quite thought we would came through in Ancient Egypt somewhere, but this doesn't look like Egypt," commented Herewulf. "Not that I've ever been to Egypt, but, well, going by what the crusaders wrote about the place, there should be palm trees and camels and big pointy monuments half buried in sand."
"Well, we must be somewhere. I'd say this path goes roughly north-south so which way do we want to go? North or South?"
"East."
"What, force our way though the forest? There could be ... bears or lions of something."
"Good."
"Oh, alright then. You go in front."
After about ten minutes moving cautiously eastwards, they suddenly came out of the forest and found themselves in ...
