Recollections by Kaylorr
It's been a busy few weeks working with the House of Yellow and the clinics. To take a break, I embarked on a last minute investigation with Sarya, Rezik, and Zanna. We headed towards an old and abandoned farmtown to check out the location of a portal. We started digging around the area of an old shrine and came across a magical barrier that glowed different colors. We decided to rest for the night and keep watch on the barrier to see if anyone came by. All of a sudden, 2 spectators came out of nowhere and descended on the pub we were camped in. They proceeded to wreck or faces and after a good blinding from Zanna and Rezik dispatching them with who knows what, we managed to make it through the night. We then noticed that a blinding light emanating from underground was growing stronger and we noticed not one portal, but three. All of them overlapped one another and it almost seemed like the were woven together. To test and make sure we were definitely looking at portals, I caught a rabbit and strapped a harness together and tossed it through...Bo-Bo the Rabbit never made it back.
Anyway, the portals looked to be spinning within one another like some type of gyroscope. I forgot to mention that we stumbled on two huge casks of bilge water. With no other use, we did what anyone else would do in our position and decided to fashion makeshift glasses with flasks and bilge water. After looking upon the portals, we found that the green portal led to some sort of lush, tropical region. the pink portal looked to lead to some sort of dark, dank cave and the final portal glowed orange and from it a feeling of hatred.
Somehow we noticed we a cavern underneath the portals. The cavern turned out to be an old, decayed home that was probably a few hundred years old. Carved into the floor we found what looked to be a huge pentagram, a source of old tribal magic I think (shown on right). We found a tunnel that led to another old house. Here I noticed that the wall was made from the same type of rock that was used in the kobold lair that I explored so many weeks ago. We decided to end our investigation head back to the Magistery where we met with the First Weaver. He informed us that what we found were indeed portals and the orange portal led to Surtur's realm. Wisakedjak is awfully cryptic and said the old pentagram we found originated from "outside of us". He also confirmed that the old houses we came across were from Old Solace.
Again, apologies for the scattered summary...
