In reply to Urrun (msg # 225):

Hograth cannot see through the gate. Does he enter or otherwise test it?

In reply to Narrator (msg # 226):

If he can think of a way to test it, he will. Otherwise, he will ready himself and step through...

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 227):

Hograth steps through the shimmer... and disappears!

[Private to Hograth Podkarmen: you are standing in snow, in a forest, it is nearly twilight, and the trees are beautifully iced.]

Urrun steps back from the shimmering Gate, unsure of what to do.

In reply to Urrun (msg # 229):

Goran, make a per roll.

Also, your pyre should be outdoors, I will assume you have been dragging bodies outside.

Yes, have been dragging the bodies outside.

He made the PER roll by a couple.
[Private to GM: 08:57, Today: Secret Roll: Goran the Marked rolled 12 using 3d6.  Per 14.]

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 231):

You hear an unhappy sound of surprise from Urrun... something happened inside


Lighting pyres at sunset is standard, it is (after trudging all day and all night below) now a bit before noon.

Goran will check his weapons, arm up, and then head in to support Urrun.

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 233):

Goran finds Urrun in a room ull of blank doorways with a statue pointing at one of the doorways with a staff, while holding a key.
The doorway in question has a shimmering light where blank wall would be, and the bouda stands staring at it, his hackles raised.

Goran will take a second to look about the room, but his weapon is at the ready, and while he does he will ask the Bouda "Hograth...?"

OOC Made all the rolls that might be appropriate in hidden text.  Use one or all of them if appropriate.

[Private to GM: The rolls:
10:57, Today: Secret Roll: Goran the Marked rolled 8 using 3d6.  Theology - Shevnian 12.
10:56, Today: Secret Roll: Goran the Marked rolled 10 using 3d6.  Hidden Lore - Spirit Lore 13.
10:56, Today: Secret Roll: Goran the Marked rolled 8 using 3d6.  Occultism 13.]

He go there ... I not go.

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 235):

You are uncertain about the nature of this room, the trappings are similar to those of these foreign gods, and not the things you have fought.

"I will make sure he is all right.  Stay here and make sure we have a path back."
As he walks past Urrun, he reaches out a gloved hand to pat the bouda on the shoulder, in what should be a friendly gesture.  Then he proceeds through the portal, morningstar in hand.

Urrun shakes his head ... Human have foaming lips madness.

In reply to Urrun (msg # 239):

From what Goran can surmise, the dwarf stepped through this rippling surface where wall should be.

Goran feels on edge, because he hasn't seen anything like this.  Regardless, if Hograth went through, it's his opinion he should as well.  Hograth might need the help, and Goran felt a certain amount of loyalty to him.  Plus, he was confident he could handle anything he met on the other side.  With a long breath to calm himself, and a twitch of the burn mark on his cheek, he steps through the portal.

He looks around for a long stick or better yet a stave to push through and perhaps help these two dumb humans back to this world

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 241):

Goran disappears! Urrun is left alone in this room, with no sign of a pole... although one of the evil priests had a staff.

[Private to Goran the Marked; Hograth: you are standing in a foot of snow in a barren forrest bedecked in rime. Behind you is a stone archway with doric columns]

Goran takes a moment to check his surroundings.  It looked safe to him, but it was cold.  Thankfully he was wearing gauntlets to keep his hands warm.  As he takes in the view, Goran asks Hograth "Where are we?"

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 244):

Hograth is not sure...


Do we continue to post here?

In reply to Narrator (msg # 243):

He doesn't want anything from an evil priest, but may pull a branch off of Goran's pyre.

In reply to Urrun (msg # 246):

Urrun finds a branch to push through the gate...

 Hograth and Goran, post in a World of Winter

Urrun pushes the branch through, but does not get too close and will let go if the branch is pulled, he has no intention of going through that gate.

In reply to Urrun (msg # 248):

Hograth comes back through the gate.

"Damn cold. We need to send a group through there to explore..."

Goran wiggles a bit to try and regain some warmth back after coming back through the door.

"Nothing through there except snow and cold.  Didn't see anything dangerous there.  Since we are here, and I'm guessing you did something to open that...  Can we close it?  And are there other doors?  We should check out all of them to make sure we are not in danger."
