Mathew waits for a vote, but it is soon obvious the others are still confused and disoriented. "Very well, if a consensis can not be reached then by artical 5 of the adventures conpact of 4503, the person having financed operation shall make the final determination. That would be me. So, we go this way."
The place is rather..odd. It looks like any typical dungeon you might find anywhere else in the world. What is unusual about that is the fact that according to everything known, nobody had ever been here to build it. Most of the creature inhabitants would either prefer natural (relitive of course) environments or crude tunnels. Yet this place looks as if master crafts people have spent centuries perfecting it. It is OLD, maybe the oldest thing in exsistance.
Exiting where the group currently is, you come to a hallway branching left and right. The left has three doors, two on one side, one on the same side as the door you exited. Then it runs into a wall, but there is a passage intersecting. The right has a rather large room with a fountain, a arched roof, and what looks like several statues.
The other doors have very strange writing and pictures on them.

"What a day.", Agera mumbles as he sits down at the fountain.
*Tsing* An arrow flies from the wall and embedds itself in his side.
"AAARGH!",Agero jumps up shouting:
"WHY DID I EVER SIGN ON THIS {censored} EXPEDITION! I'm stuck in a {censored} cave with a magical {censored} squid with a group of {censored} loonies and a drow and we don't even have a {censored} rogue!"
He stops to take a breath and calms down a little.
"Does anyone of you know how to treat injuries?"
"Right, a well equipped group."
"Never mind, I'll do it myself."
He takes a knife and starts removing the arrow while mumbling something along the lines of:
"{censored} dungeons...I hate dungeons...there weren't supposed to be any dungeons here...a drow...what were they thinking..."

When Fisrah feels as though he has made a favorable distance between himself and the village, he rolls the woman’s body off of his shoulder. He rolls her over with his foot, and smiles down, upon her.
“Alright, you sack of burden. The time has come for us to part. I leave you here, for all those hungry enough to feed on you to do so as they please.”
Fisrah walks away, allowing all the wolves and whatnot to gather around and have their feast.
He continues on in the direction he was already heading, trying to find either a path he could start following, or another village or the like. Or find some other place to be, if he should happen upon it. Whatever the case would be, he is getting a little bored right now.

Mathew went to check on Agera. As he looked at the leg, something under the fountain caught his eye. There was more, and more, but he had to look very close. All of it was covered in dust, nobody had been here in a long time. Brushing the dust away he uncovered...writing.
Soon it is apparent that it is covering the entire room except the ceiling. It is so fine and small that only by close observation is it even visible. "I can't make it all out. I am somewhat familiar with the language, but I can't translate all of it. Something about a nexus, and portals. Two beings, and this being some sort of center point for their struggle. Anybody else make the rest of this out?"

"Perfect, this is what we had been waiting for!"
With a greedy gleam in his eyes Rabbidus rubs his hands in eager anticipation. This is place of power that contains secret lore and he would be the one to uncover it first. Seems the little bits of his arcane training might serve him after all!
He leans closer to translate the writing but soon gets disappointed, nothing on his fabled amulet. Who cares about gateways to another dimension that...can lead you to your heart's dearest desires..? That definitely changes things. As he continues he comes across what looks like instructions on how to tap into the power of the nexus and points to the central statue that has a sparkling ruby on its forehead.
Those that are pure of heart stand on the altar before the great statue of Yggdrassil and touch the gem. Are you ready to face Judgement?
The druid is infuriated, an ancient prick thinks it can judge him? He then rushes for the altar to activate the mechanism and suddenly the world feels blurry before darkness engulfs him and he loses consciousness.

Dusos was on a large wooden stage. In front of him, behind the crowd, he could see the king's palace. The rope around his neck was very well tightened. Too well, thought Dusos.
"And that's what will happen to every single member of the Torch Order!" shouted the hangman.
The crowd applauded.
If someone thinks that being caught by a guard while trying to get into the king's place, is the most humiliating thing that can happen to a Torch Order's member, he is appearently wrong. Being hung after it is even worse. And for what?
Dusos didn't even try to kill the king. That would be completely pointless. The king hasn't done anything wrong. Actually, he hasn't done much at all since he was crowned 15 years ago. The Rune Priests have taken over the government in the last years, and they simply manage the kingdom. The king has no effect. He's like a decoration in the party of the Priests.
Dusos tried to get the crown.
The Dwarven crown is one of the seven legendary Dwarven artifacts. All the Dwarves know about the artifacts, that they were hidden in Verdata island. But a spy of the Order found out that two of the artifacts were brought by the Priests to the kingdom. The Order got to a conclusion that one of the artifacts has to be the crown.
"My last words" shouted Dusos to the crowd, that became silent immediately "is that it's sad. Sad that you're spending the last minutes of your life looking at me."
The crowed seemed to be confused.
"Look to the sky. In a few minutes three giantic meteors will fall on the island and all of us will die. We found it out yesterday, and according to the calculations, it's supposed to be in the next few minutes."
Some people seemed panic, some seemed like they simply don't believe it, but even the hangman looked to the sky. Everyone were talking and nobody looked at Dusos at that moment.
Dusos mumbled some words, activating the Energy Control Rune. He reached with his leg to the foot of the hangman. The hangman started to lose his body energy. With so much energy in it, Dusos was able to tear the ropes around. He had gone before anyone took a look at the stage.
The only thing that broke the shock when the crowd found out what had happened, was a huge shout: "Fools!"

((Ok since I am not positive who is in the underground and who is not, only posting the ones I am positive of  . Then you are on your own. Basic info on the 'world' you will be on is given, but you are free to modify it to your hearts content. Each area is totally freeform now ))
Satella ((who will be played by me temporarily until Ceres' return)) finds herself in a dank underground cavern. Timidly gathered around her is miniture versions of the dark elves. No more then 2' tall, they are otherwise like her own people in looks. Deffinately not in personallity, however, for they are timid and shy.
Mathew finds himself in a rather bland looking room with a straw bed and a wood door. The door is not locked.
Mordock - Finds himself in a world where a battle is taking place. On one side the army is riding giant poultry, and appear to be lizard like creatures. On the other are humans defending a castle.
Rabidus - Finds himself in a large forest, surrounded by plantlife. Only the plants..seem to be watching him!
Agera - Finds himself on a boat, in the middle of a pitched sea battle. Pirates are trying to board a vessal, and the crew of the vessal are giving them a good fight. It appears to be a pretty even fight, and whichever side he decides to assist will have an advantage.
((If anybody else was in the underground area when the spell was active, let me know ))

Rabidus feels disoriented for a few moments then slowly opens his eyes. The view is nothing short of majestic and serene, green, pure green as far as the eye can see and no signs of human corruption. Nature hold dominion over this place yet something seems amiss.
He feels...almost a stranger in this place. The plants respond to his every move, it's as if they are watching him.
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? I HAVE BEEN SERVING YOU MY WHOLE LIFE AND AM IN A MISSION TO RESTORE YOU TO YOUR FORMER GLORY AS WE SPEAK YET YOU TREAT ME WITH DISTRUST? ME?"
The negative feeling of the wood washes over him, an almost overwhelming sensation. He starts to tremble his anger giving way to anxiety.
"Is that what the inscription meant? That I should prove myself to be pure to my mission? Is this even real? What do you think Razorleaf?"
The plant makes a few slow movements as if shrugging.
"Or maybe I have already reached my destination and the amulet is somewhere in the vicinity?" His eyes lit up again, his hope renewed.
"Yes that must be it, those plants are protecting it! So obvious! Let's us proceed and find what we may."

"Where am?!" Mordock demands of the invisible force that transported him to the battlefield. A quick survey of the scene reveals the poultry-mounted menance approaching the castle. "They conspire with chickens? CHICKENS?! LET'S GET 'EM BOYS!!!" Mordock screams, flushed red with unholy fury as Barky, Taily, Bitey, and
Baron VonWoofenstein the VIII race towards their feathery foes.
The insane butcher clashes with the lizard riders with the force of a poweder keg, hacking, gouging, and kicking at the foolish lizards. The only benefit they'd gain from dealing with chickens would be a quick (but incredibly painful) death.
"KILL THEM!!! KILL THEM!!! RIP OUT THEIR HEARTS!!! STAB THEIR EYES!!!" Mordock howls at the enemy, drinking in the blood spraying everywhere. The notched cleaver glides through a chickens neck, severing its throat and dropping it to the ground. The lizard warrior barely has a second to notice Mordock as he hacks off the lizard's arm and crushes its throat under a black boot. "DIE! DIE!!! DIE!!!!!!" Another approaches from behind and gets smacked across the face by the free appendage, staggering the beast. The reptile flinches as Mordock clamps down on its throat, ripping it out with a fountain of blood. The butcher, now completely lost in mad ectacy, likes the blood from his mouth as stabs into another chicken.
"DDDIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!!!!"
The dogs seem to be enjoying the orgy of death as much as their master. The quartet rips polutry and lizard alike apart in an orgy of blood and organs, happily feasting on any chicken livers they can find.

Mathew opened the door and went through it. On the other side was a garden, with a wise looking man meditating. As if sensing Mathew the man motioned for him to sit down, so Mat complied.
"You have come a long way, and have many questions. I will do what I can to answer them. The world you come from is of some importance. It is one of very few that have a complete nexus. Most only have partial access, and those living there must travel through many of them to reach a destination. Your nexus can lead to anywhere in the universe with a simple incantation and concentrating on your destination."
Mat sat entranced as the man continued his tale. "Many beings would do anything to get sole access to such a thing, anything at all. One of those beings has found your nexus, and seeks to rid it of anything it can not control. Myself included."
"While you are in my sphere of influence I can protect and help you, but the further away you go the harder it will become and the less I can do. Yet you must seek a way out of this maze, for the longer you stay here the more danger you are in. There are great and powerful items in here, and wealth beyond your dreams, but the ruins are by no means uninhabited."
"Unfortunately the exit back to your world is right next to the other's home, where it is the most powerful. In order to survive, you will need to gain strength, gain allies, and fight your way to the exit. You might need the nexus to do so, however. Each door in the ruins you encounter can be opened two ways. Normally, and with the incantation. In some of the worlds you may very well find allies, healing, or items that will help you. The closer you get to HIS influence however, the more dangerous these worlds will be."
"I estimate two years before he has a large enough army to control the entire nexus. You have that long to make it out. Maybe if you are lucky you can get far enough away that he won't bother destroying you. If you seek to fight him, you have the same ammount of time before he becomes so powerful that nothing will be able to harm him."
"I will send information to each of your allies how to depart the world they are in, if they choose. Though they may find allies and gain strength while there. Go..you will know how. Wait for the others to return, then seek your destiny. May peace go with you.."

Mordock continues rampaging through the battlefield, gleefully rending flightless birds. One chicken snaps at his head and misses, giving the butcher an opening to grab on and swings himself into the "scaly chicken" rider knocking him to the ground while snapping the chickens neck at the same time. His fury gives him enough strength to lift the chicken's body up and bring it crashing down on the screaming lizard. Its screams are extinguished by a satisfying thud. The senseless joy of the kill is quickly interrupted by a spear thrust towards Mordock's left arm. Enraged, throws his cleaver right into the skull of the foolish lizard, only to be confronted by another reptile rushing him with a spear. Like lightning, he rips the spear away and uses both hands to grab the assailant by its upper and lower jaw. Blood rains down on Mordock as he rips the lower jaw away from the creature's head, unable to wash away his sadist smile. A quick whip of the arm sends the loose jaw flying into the eye of a chicken, blinding it and sending the beast thrashing into its compatriots.
The dogs continue to their hunt as a team, bringing down rider after rider, chicken after chicken; their bloodlust only second to the mad butcher.
"DIE CHICKENS!!! DIE, DIE, DIE!!!" Mordock screams turn into satanic laughter as bathes in the blood of a disemboweled chicken. "MWHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!" Each joyful utterance accented by a brutal stab into the fowl's carcass.

In the jungle that Rabidus has entered, a small plant slowly aproaches him. Gently it rubs up against him, like some sort of animal, and a biger plant slowly approaches. "Please, you are scaring the children, and the animals. Have we done something to offend? If so, is there something we can do to make it right? We would not have the creators mad at us."
It speaks as plain as day, as if it has spoken his language all of it's life. He notices that the plants have tools, and there are small ones, and more that look like the plant rubbing against him. That one must be some sort of plant animal or similar. They seem in awe of him, and afraid.
On the battlefield where Mordock is destroying chickens, they think he is some sort of demon. Calling a retreat they quickly outpace him and his dogs, but many lay broken on the battlefield. The people in the castle applaud and cheer, and the gates are open. A honor guard is sent to escort him in, and he is greeted with a wreath of flowers and cheers. He is treated like a hero, and a banquet is called in his honor.
The banquet is served by children, who are a bit dirty and are wearing collars, shackles, and cuffs. They are little more then skin and bone, wearing ragged clothing. A large overfed man congradulates Mordock. "You are a true warrior! You really sent those lizards back to their hiddy holes. They'll not interfear with our shipments any time soon! I will personally insure you recieve a huge reward for such fierocity!"
Dusos.
Safely away from the mob that vainly tried to chase him, he was still having to hide from a rather upset crowd. They wanted him hung, and from a much higher spot this time...
Eventually they stopped looking for him, and he was able to relax a bit. Just as he calmed down a hand rested on his shoulder. "Relax! I am not here to harm you." came a frightened and nervous voice. "I need somebody with your talents...and will pay nicely. What say you?"

The pack growls at the corpulent waste of flesh tossing platitudes at Mordock. The Mad Butcher helps himself to food, "carelessly" dropping bits and pieces on the floor near the children. The dogs, understanding the situation, allow a few of the urchins to grab scraps of food while snarling at any foolish to interrupt their snack.
"Well, those chickens are a crafty bunch. Always turning up when you at least expect it." He yanks grabs a large handful of various foods from the table and curses as several apples fall to the floor. He bends over to scoop one up, but drops a carrot and roll in the process. Abdandoning hopes of recovering his lost food, he turns back to the grotesque noble. "So why have you been attacked? You mentioned something about trading? What exactly do you trade in?"

"We are slave traders. The loathsome Vixnar have been trying to end the slave trade for generations. As a reward for your heroism, perhaps you would accept several of our goods as part of your reward? I can offer you a dozen of your choice, free of charge of course."
Within a few minutes it is obvious to Mordock that these people see the slaves as less then even cattle. A few exceptions are apparent, for Mordock is not the only ones 'accidently' loosing food. Seems mostly the overweight 'lord' and the military personel that mistreat the slaves.

"Oh, I get it" Mordock says as he finishes his last piece of food. He stands up and walks over to the noble. "I would be delighted to accept your offer. There's only one problem."
"Oh, and what is that?" ((OOC: Sorry to hijack your thread, but let's face it, you knew where this was going. ))
"I DON'T DEAL WITH DEAD PEOPLE!!!" Mordock hacks the head off the noble and lunges for the nearest guard. "KILL EVERYONE BUT THE CHILDREN!!! RIP THEM LIMB FROM LIMB!!! FEAST ON THEIR HEARTS AND BATHE IN THEIR BLOOD!!!"
The savage quartet start to string their part in the symphony of slaughter.

((Yep, and who said you are hijacking?))
Not suprising at first, nobody wants to help you, and while your good against chickens..you are starting to find yourself overwhelmed. Then one of the people who was 'loosing' food jumps in, and another. Soon it is chaos. Even a few of the soldiers end up turning against the hierarchy. One of the guards manages to wound you, but within no time the ones in charge are dead, fleeing (with the lizards outside still, probably not to far), or helping you free the slaves.
One of the slaves, a blond girl with white eyes comes over. She lays her hand on you, and your wound closes instantly. You doubt seriously that anybody here knew she could do that. There is something about the ones that assisted you. You notice renewed hope, and get the feeling they are just as tired as the lizards about the slavery.
One of the guards that helped you, comes over and drops his weapon at your feet. He looks..tired. "Go ahead, we would deserve worse. Some of the lizards are in on it too. The attacks are meant to drive prices up, not seriously hinder. Some of them tho, they are like me and my men. Just tired..and sick of what our government has become."

Dusos looked at the man standing in front of him.
Somehow, he had a feeling that this person is not going to hurt him. He was about to agree, just to take the things that he was offered, but then he remembered the what his father told him when he was young: "There are not free gifts".
He has to be suspecious towards that person, who is promising him a protection, food and luxuries. Dusos knew that if this person is willing to give Dusos those things, he wants Dusos to do something which will be equal to them.
The person seemed to be confused. Maybe he expected Dusos to jump on the opportunity, and to take those things right away. But Dusos stood where he was.
"Who are you?" Dosus asked, sounding more agressive than he wanted to sound. "What do you want of me?"
'I won't touch anything he offeres before he reveals his true intentions' Dusos thought. He drew a knife behind his back, just in case.

The little nervous man seemed confused for a moment, but then got ahold of himself enough to stutter. "P-p-please you have to help me. Somebody took something important from me, and I really need it back. It was a broach, about 5 inches around, silver beetle on the front. Said it unlocked a chamber somewhere on the center island. I can pay, and pay well. J-just I need somebody who can..hide good to retrieve it." He describes a man and makes an offer of 5 thousand gold, help with any legal issues, and a house and plot of land. Must be on very valuable broach.

"My apologies Nature's child. It has been a trying day and there was much confusion - there still is. What is this place and how come you are able to talk? I have performed experiments of my own but never managed to give the gift of oral speech to flora, this is magnificent!
You mentioned creators, speak to me of them!"
The druid can barely hide his delight, how could he have been so mistaken?

Dusos looked at the man, who seemed suddenly terrified. He felt a bit sorry for the person, and was sorry that he had sounded so agressive.
Dusos wanted to keep the underground activity against the government of the Dwarves kingdom, but on the other hand, he's already wanted. Maybe it's better for him to make a new start... Maybe he should take the offer.
If he is caught, he will be hung again, and probably will be better guarded than on the last time, so he won't manage to get out of it. But is it really better to become a farmer now?
He decided to decide when he gets the property. First of all, he has to find that broach.
"I'm in" said Dusos.
---------------------------------------------------------------
On that night, Dusos slept in the forest. 'How can I get to the 7th island?' he thought, but he couldn't find an answer.
He fell asleep on a rock covered with scum.
On the next morning, Dusos woke up and start travelling on the forest, looking for an answer to his problem, although he knew that this wouldn't help. Maybe he was just curious, and wanted to investigate the area he has reached to.
Suddenly, he has a huge white thing, far away. He ran towards it, and he found out that this is a dome, laying on the ground of a clearing. That weird dome wasn't seem to be made of concrete or ore.
Then he heard a huge scary twittering, like a crowing of a raven. He ran away as quick as he could, with his small legs, and find a place to hide behind a tree.
It was a Roc. The huge bird, atleast 10 meters tall, landed right neat the white dome. Dusos understood - the dome was the egg of the Roc, buried in the dirt.
Dusos thought quickly. He drew a rope out of his small bag, and went slowly behind the huge Roc, while it was trying to catch something walking on one of the trees. He tied the rope to the Roc's leg, well enough so it won't fall, and tied himself to the rope.
In a few minutes, the Roc stratched its wings, and in a huge gust of wind, that almost made the trees around the clearning to fall, they were in the air. The Roc didn't notice the small Dusos who was tied to its leg. His weight was meaningless comparing to the huge Roc's weight.
They were flying over trees, then over the clouds, and then over oceans. In a few hours of extremely fast flying, the rope started to be more loose, until Dusos felt he's going to fall into the endless ocean. But he held himself, until they finally got to the 7th island. Dusos wait till the Roc land, and then he left the rope and escaped, free in the foreign island.
