Gerrit hardly noticed that he went past Anatole, the exertion and the adrenaline made him just focus on getting Oliver and himself to the gate. Luckily Cassandra was already opening the gate, but once he arrived he had the opportunity to notice the Wizened was missing. He looked around, cursing himself for selfishly barging ahead. "Anatole, get over here!" Maybe they could just make it without confrontation - but he would not leave the Autumn behind if it came to it!

[Ram]

With the gate open, Ram does his best to trust Anatole and not look behind. No, right now they needed to know what was ahead. As he approaches the frozen pool he searches out any obvious signs of danger in front of him in the mortal world.

[Anatole]

Anatole is a stubborn dwarf.

He is moving backwards toward the Gate... Very slowly. His attention is locked purely on the predatory foliage as it sweeps towards him.

Anatole got a big fat 1!

Anatole's has Initiative 5.

[Cassandra Reeding]

Cassandra hopefully recognizes what looks to her like the tunnels with their yellow lights and concrete walls and she goes through, perhaps for better or worse.

As she would enter, she'd look for further signs of danger on the other side.

Initiative 10 + 5= 15

[Saber Sloth]

In those moments before action, Ram peers through the Gate, finding details in through the brown and grey space, the dull yellow light helping put the space beyond into perspective. The colours turn into, rough hewn stone, dried mud, and grey brick curving overhead. The yellow light is now, very clearly from glowing exposed bulbs. Safe, familiar, home.


The clear picture is disturbed as Cassandra flies through the Gate, and lands on the other side, feet finding the rusted track and eyes seeing the enclosed space at the end of narrow hard packed stairs. The black cables running overhead, connecting to the exposed bulbs and giving them power.

Cassandra knows, now where she is. There is no danger here, when she climbs the stairs, she will find herself once more, within Funderland.

And a reminder folks, when you roll Initiative you need to include something after the = in the code or the roll wont show up in the post!

and Cassandra Reeding has first turn! Reading the post I'm assuming she's going to head right through the Gate, so I'm going to give the turn to Gerrit ! I'm I'm wrong please tell me Cassandra Reeding Shenanigans !

[Gerrit]

Talked to Shenanigans, she gave me the go-ahead.

With Cassandra through the Gate Gerrit was faced with a difficult choice: he didn't know what waited on the other side, if the Fairest was getting out of the frying pan straight into the fire. On this side however he knew that Anatole could be in trouble. Then there was Oliver, wounded and barely stabilized and limiting the Stonebone's capability to help either.

He didn't dare thinking much more about it: in a snap judgement he deemed it the best decision to quickly go through the Gate and put Oliver down if the way was clear, then to go back and ensure Anatole was getting out.
"Be right back." He barked out over his shoulder as he dashed towards the open Gate.

He took a second to check his new surroundings - it passed the superficial scrutiny, they were home. He put Oliver down, trying to put him where he was least in the way and braced himself to go back. They didn't have to kill the Bloodsuckle, they'd only have to get out.

Shadowpatch (+3 to Stealth)

[Saber Sloth]

Gerrit sees what Cassandra saw. The familiar hard packed dirt stairs, the rough hewn stone curving overhead, the exposed bulbs, the black cables connecting them to Funderland's power. Just a quick trip up the stairs, and they were home.

Ram 's up!

[Ram]

Ram entered the gate as Gerrit went back out and wished he could be that fast. However, putting down a person was different than setting down a hedge chair with an occupant in it that you didn't want to hurt.

The Render turned around and started going up the stairs backwards, each second of care given to not jostle it feeling like an eternity of not helping his friends.

Ram carefully ascends the stairs

Bloodsuckle is up

[Saber Sloth]

And up Ram goes, precious cargo in his strong arms. From the other side of the Gate, the Bloodsuckle lunges at their Burned Smith defender!


Thick bark grey vines with their pulsating fleshy gum coil and wrap around the Wizened, pinning him, crushing him, in a deadly embrace.

2 suxx to grapple Anatole!

Strength+Brawl-3 to break the grapple! Anatole 's up!

[Anatole]

Damn that vine moved fast!

The beastly vegetation slithers and pours forward, snagging the dwarf. Anatole resists: pulling, tugging, swinging his axe. Yet all he does is seem to encourage the sentient weed further.
