Chapter 1 - Quaevarr
Retsilah gets up from his desk and walks out the door, motioning you to follow him. He leads you down to the stables and allows you to choose whatever horse or pony you want to ride. The stable master outfits and saddles every horse for you, showing you all how to take care of them in the process. Retsilah then moves back outside and then starts to chant out the words of a powerful spell.
Brenden: [SBLOCK]Brenden Spellcraft=27) You notice that he is casting a gate spells which confuses you thought this spells was only able to be used to travel to another plane. You are definitely in awe as to the power that the being in front of you has at his disposal.[/SBLOCK]
Sten: [SBLOCK]Sten Spellcraft=13) You are somewhat familiar with arcane spells but this one is just beyond your grasp it is more powerful than anything you have seen to date.[/SBLOCK]
After about 5 minutes of casting a black hole starts to form in front of Retsilah and grows to an appropriate size that a horse would be able to fit through. He motions for you all to go through and as you step into the inky blackness you feel as if your body is hurtled through space and then you step out into an open field. Immediately you are slapped in the face by the sudden coldness of the air around you as you gaze upon a snow swept field. You notice that it is snowing and the wind is swirling said snow around you, almost blowing through you it is so cold. Turning to the north you can just make out the fortified walls of a town only a couple hundred feet away. Looking back over your shoulder you can see the black hole you just stepped through shrinking and just before it winks out of existence you hear Retsilah’s voice in your head once more.
"One word of caution before I forget. There are rumors that a dragon of some power guards the monastery and I do not believe this is the case but I figured I would at least warn you. So remember; when you are done with your task and have the gem in your hands return to this spot and call out my name and I will bring you home.
Good Luck."

Durnn, Earth Genasi Fighter 1
Durnn watches somewhat incredulously as the rest of the party starts moving forward. "Wait a minute... wait a minute. Did I hear that right? Did he just say a "dragon of great power"? Woah... woah.. hold on guys. I didn't sign up to be no shish-kabob!" Durnn stands there for a second, seeming mulling something over in his head. "But, then again... where there's a dragon, there's loot!" A broad grin comes over his face as he starts moving his horse forward. "Come on, lads, don't be scared! There's a fire opal to retrieve! So let's get moving!"

"No, you heard that incorrectly. He said that there might be a dragon of some power... there's a subtle difference ." Brenden huddles into his new cloak and grins, thinking that he'd made the right decision for once.
After finally getting the onyx haired pony moving he says, "...am I the only one who finds it odd that will all the power our master has at his command, he employs us? I mean, that spell he just cast to get us here... that was no mere Teleport. That was a full on Gate." He pauses to reflect for a moment "...only Gates can't be used for intra-dimensional travel so I guess it was more like a Portal." yeah, that's the ticket! "I don't know about you, but he kind of scares me."

"Hmmitsa lidlbet scray." Gripir lifts his left hand, squints, and contorts his fingers as if he were holding a very thin book (the universal gesture for "a little bit"). He shakes his head. "Layd teworre nauwtheau. Shelter?"

"Here, you'd better have this," Pemberton holds out the wand to Sten, "Given that I can't actually use the thing except as a brush holder."
He takes a good look round so he has the spot just right, dismounts and cuts out a square foot of turf with his sword, inverting it and replacing it where it came from. "Mark good attention to where we are. If we get seperated wait here for as long as possible before asking Master to call you back because I don't think any of us want to walk home the hard way. I certainly don't."
He remounts with the air of someone who has spent enough time in the saddle to become good at it, "Does anybody know where we are? Durnn, you recognise this place?" whether the answer is yes, or the probable no, he'll kick off foward and set out looking for a gate.
"...am I the only one who finds it odd that will all the power our master has at his command, he employs us? "
"Because despite our obvious greatness we're cheap, and we aren't powerful enough to get any dumb ideas about killing him in his sleep and nicking everything he possess."
"Well, I'm not that dumb anyway."
