Do you investigate the shrine more and maybe take their offerings, or continue following the women who've no clue of your existence to perhaps find a village.

Items: Welven Triple Blades(+1 Speed)
Plain Cloak of Drab (+1 Stealth)
Light Gloves (+1 looting when pick pocketing)
Odd Stone Filled with water (???)

You've twisted your right hand wrist! -1 pickpocketing, better fix this up!


I move to check out the shrine, careful to keep cautious. As a follower of the Old Ones, I know not to mess with Deities, so I'm reverent as I approach. I inspect the cloth that was left and, if it's of the right size, take it to wrap my wrist with. I also sniff the contents of the jug. If it's edible/drinkable I take that too.
Then I add a prayer to the nameless Deity and leave the stone behind in payment. I'm not going to screw myself over when it comes to Gods.
Mountains please! Perhaps I will find some fellow eaglemen.

What'll it be? Gyor Nutrients and dead Feralls? Or an open brain-case and smarter Feralls? Or perhaps a different, more unusual course of action?

Items: x1 Glass jar(+1 Block)
x1 Silencer(+1 Stealth)

Status:You're a floating brain in the forest with a pack of Ferall nearby!

Interested in Gyor Nutrients and thinking the Ferall probably hunt in packs, I try to distract the Ferrals and have them chase me, then teleport to the Gyor carcass to absorb some nutrients and leave the area, hoping the Feralls won't chase me a second time, and will instead go back to their meal.

You charge up your firebolt and aim carefully at the dragon and unleash it! The Firebolt smacks the dragon in the eye, causing it to nosedive into the crater! The resulting debris flies at you, but you are running so fast you're clear away from any damage!
Your ruby ring, however, was not safe and lost it's charge. You'll need to find some heat source other than dragon's breath to charge it, and your own fire magic wont cut it! Escaping near death, you soon run out of breath as you enter a swampland at the base of the volcano. To your west is nothing but flatlands of grass, your north is split in half by swamps and grasslands while to your east is nothing but swamp! The swamplands seem rank and have weird glowing flowers all over it, while the grasslands are plain and uninteresting.

Items:
Short Sword (+1 Attack)
Completely Uninteresting Clothing
Ruby Ring(Fire resistance-Is out of charge and will not block against fire until charged with heat)

Cautious as you approach the shrine once more, the sapphire eyes start to glow a little. The cloth seems to be slightly damp, and it's soothing to the touch, you wrap around your wrist and already feel slightly better. The contents of the jug are also good, as they seem to be of a potion. You have no idea what it does, but you never know until you try! After collecting these items you place the stone and begin to leave, when the stone evaporates almost instantaneously! The sapphires glow more noticeably, and you hear inside your head a single word whispered.
"More"
After that, the sapphires go dim, and you are left befuddled. Now what?
Do you go where the women went to the west, or elsewhere to the east?

Welven Triple Blades(+1 Speed)

You float out in plain sight to grab the ferall's attention. One or two look up at you and are uninterested. You edge closer and the Ferall finally get angry, and start to close in. Just as they're about to pounce, you bolt away with them following you after a good 30 seconds of chase, you teleport back to the gyor.
As your PIT sucks up some delicious nutrients, the Ferall come back much quicker than you expected, so you float away after getting a good amount. They don't follow you, and go back to their meal.
After a bit of travel through the woods, a stone structure is sighted, and you get close to investigate. The appears to be pyramid-like in structure, however to side seem to be cut off at a perfect angle. It's about 10 feet long and 5 feet wide, with an odd door on it covered in runes that glow a faint green. No sooner do you monitor this than a Ursa, a giant bear-like creature, appears from the left, and smacks you into the the structure! The Runes seem to have repelled you, as you don't make contact, you instead fly back into the Ursa and whack it in the face!
You now have mysterious ruins and a stunned ursa on your hand-er, mind, what'll you do?

You head towards the mountains, as the holes are just weird. As you go closer, the bellowing smoke in the distance turns a bright purple! It's actually mesmerizing! You're slightly freaked out, but keep on heading towards the mountains. Soon, the mountains are in sight, as is the shifting in the dirt's cracks! Your keen eye sees it coming, and you dodge as a Maulipede bursts out from where you once stood! This armored man-eating bug takes no time recovering and dives back into the soil, but not before you fire off some brass feathers into it's armor! You keep alert and do not move, waiting for another shift in the dirt. What you see next scares you, as two maulipedes jump out from your sides!

Knowing I don't have many options combat-wise, I drop myself and my jar onto the Ursa's head, hoping to either break his skull or knock him out further. If successful, I check out the rune door. If not, I try to flee the area as quickly as possible.
Grasslands: boring. Swamps: probably dangerous.
I know where I'm going. Onward to the swamp to the east! Time for some exploration!
Oh, and I'm definitely investigating those weird glowing flowers too. Maybe they can do something cool.
or maybe they're poisonous and will kill me

Feeling a little freaked out by the glowing eyes deity, I sit on a nearby log and sun myself, thinking about my current choices. From the looks of things I'll have to collect at least one or more of those glowing stones to appease the being, but I have no idea where to find said stones.

After some deep thought I decide I have two choices:
- follow the women and hope they lead me to a town of some kind. That could have two problems, though. They might notice that I took the cloth and potion, and realise I observed what might have been a secret religious ceremony - both things to avoid.

On the other hand, they or someone I meet on the way to where they're going may know more about both the glowing stones and where, exactly, in the Nine Worlds I have been teleported.

Of course I could choose to go one of the other directions, but there is less surety of finding a town, and getting lost in a strange world, with very limited supplies and lacking a plan, could spell more than just a little inconvenience.

Feeling parched from sitting under the sun for this long, I take a sip of the jug, rise to my feet and finally decide to follow the direction of the ladies in blue. I'll be cautious not to be seen by them, but follow them at a discreet distance so that I don't get lost.
I'm gonna brass feather any old maulipede seiromem feels needs it. Go for the eyes! The eyes!

You quickly force yourself downward at a dangerous speed and completely knock out the Ursa! It'll be that way for quite awhile, so you investigate the Rune Door.
Unfortunately for you, the runes keep on repelling you back and there's no way you can get close enough! The only thing you can deduce thanks to your knack for analysis is that the runes glow green and have the symbol of Mother Earth engraved into them. Knowing nothing about who Mother Earth even is, you can no longer do anything. You make your way out of the forest, and the first thing you see is a vast swampland to your west and northwest, while to your northeast there seems to be a large lake. What's in the sky takes your attention, as it's a Light Blue Dragon flying from the southeast to the southwest! It doesn't take notice of you, but it's disturbing nonetheless.
Where to next?

You make your way towards the swamps, and no sooner do you take 20 steps than you see yet another dragon flying towards the volcano! This one's scales are a light blue, and it spots you out in the open! It's far away, but it's closing in fast! You panic, and start running farther into the swamp, hoping to hide under one of the very large Fint Trees' leaves. You manage to scramble under one, but the dragon is flying overhead! The Fint Tree you're under has magical properties that you sense, maybe it can help you out in this situation? On another note, there seems to be a small glowing dot of rainbow colors coming towards you.

Walking away from the shrine, you find an old log to sit on, but it crumbles as it's core is completely hollow! With nothing to sit on, you stay standing and think about what to do next. After much thought you take a sip of your jug, and it seems to have no effect, but your thirst is quenched. After doing so you run down the path the ladies took and soon catch up with them. You keep your distance as to not get seen, but an unknown bird of multicolored tail feathers, bright red neck and a torpedo-like head lets out a noisy squawk. One of the ladies glance behind them and notice you! She soon stops the group and they all walk towards you, in a dignified and calm manner. You instinctively take a step back, but the very same bird that squawked is right behind you! You are startled by it and jump away from it when one of the ladies ask "Are you lost?" They don't seem to notice the jug or blue soothing cloth you've taken yet, and the bird is standing there, alert about everything but you. The Bird Let's out an alarming cry as you and the ladies look at what the bird's looking at, and see a Light-blue dragon circling the swamplands!
The Ladies tell you to stay put, and run towards the dragon as does the bird.
Do you do as your told, run away, or follow them?

You fire off your brass feathers at both of the maulipedes' eyes, they shriek and and dive into the soil before they can take a chomp of you, but their spiked tails still scratch you on the face, and now you've got 2 large scratches on your face. (-1 Persuasion) You stand there but after a long while of no movement, you decide they've left to heal. You continue towards the mountains and make your way to the base, when the smoke to your west turns a dark green! You wonder more and more about what in the world that smoke is coming from. At the mountains' base, there's a mine entrance with a bunch of lizard folk all around, going in and out hauling some multicolored minerals in mine carts all the way to the now light-blue smoke.
After standing there for no more than 2 minutes you see more movement in the soil!
It's heading towards the lizard folk! What do you do!?

Thinking my levitation might give me an advantage in the swampland, I head in the same direction as the dragon.
Goddammit not again. ;_;

My fire magic's still on cooldown isn't it? what do I do what do I do what do I do
Um, take a leaf off this Fint tree thingy and... ummm... eat it? (maybe that will do something, I certainly hope so) And maybe call for help. ;_;

For a moment I think, then decide to follow the women, cautiously. On my own world dragons were wise beings, oft prone to giving grand (and at times, sleep-inducing) speeches so while I feel a bit cautious about other-worldy dragons, I've no real fear in this instance. Never-the-less, there is that damn bird and the women to look out for, so I proceed carefully keeping some distance between us.
I also remove the blue cloth and carefully tuck it into an inner-pocket in my cloak, making sure it's completely hidden. The jug I can explain away if need be, considering it's just a jug. The jug and blue material together tell a story.

Onwards to the blue dragon.
My lowered persuasion probably isn't going to help me convince the lizards they're in danger, though I may be jumping to conclusions about the moving dirt. I'll get somewhere safe and observe, but where I can still rush to the rescue if need be.

Looking at the Light-blue dragon fly by, you disregard the danger it may bring, and speed along through the swamp thanks to your levitation. You start to see some holes, and there's webbing near these holes. Luckily for you, you're floating and don't trigger them! What's unluck though, is when you see the dragon circling overhead a Fint Tree and an odd man in uninteresting clothing eating the leaves of the tree.....
The Dragon takes notice of you, and breathes out a small blizzard! You cannot dodge, and are frozen solid! That Odd Man and the rainbow light you saw is your only hope now. (You don't need to submit an action, the other's roles have decided your fate)

You take a chomp of the leaf, and instantly feel a chill! Your skin quickly turns light-blue and your breath solidifies after exiting your mouth. The leaf in fact gave you ice breath and an ice resistance at the cost of your fire magic.
You hear a roar and howling winds as you look out into the swamp and see a freaky-ass brain in a glass jar floating! It is randomly engulfed in a blizzard and is now on the ground frozen solid! The dragon lands, and spots you under the tree, it dowses you in a blizzard, but you practically are warmed by it! You then are whacked by it's smooth tail into the tree! You exhale a furious blizzard in respones, and the dragon is blinded. Unfortunately for you, you can't take advantage of it thanks to your cracked ribs and the fact your sword was knocked out of your hand. The Rainbow light finally flashes, and you see a rainbow tail-feathered bird slam straight into the dragon! It's stunned, and the bird is biting it's wings. A group of blue clothed people arrive, two of the five come over to help you and ask "Are you alright!?" One of them takes out some weird blue cloth and asks "Where's the pain, and where do you come from?"

As the ladies follow the bird, you take the blue cloth from your wrist and stuff it in your pocket. After they've gone a ways you start to run to not lose them but stay away from them. A little bit of ways and you see the dragon on the ground with it's eye's frozen shut! The Rainbow bird slams into it, and started tearing at it's wings! There's a frozen Container of something to your right, and an injured man in some rather uninteresting clothing being tended to by two of the five ladies to your left under a Fint tree. The other three Start drawing a glyph in the air, it's blue and almost dripping with water!
Soon the bird backs off the dragon, and the dragon has it's wings cloaking itself in defense, suggesting surrender. You are compelled to walk forward, and the three ladies quit making the glyph. One walks over towards the frozen object, one to the bird, and the other towards the dragon.
You are forced to speak to the dragon (What shall you say?)

You Step lightly and quickly off behind a mound of dirt a lizard-man is sleeping by. The Moving Dirt edges closer to the mine-carts. One of the Lizard folk Let out a cry, and all of them scurry towards the smoke. The Dirt does not give chase, it instead moves towards the sleeping lizard-man! As the maulipede pops out, You dive in and protect the lizard-man with your Steel Cape, then Jab your brass feathers through the head of the maulipede and kill it. The Sleeping lizard man wakes up to the sight of an eagle many stabbing a maulipede, and jumps up as his heart rate practically doubles.
"What is your Name, and where's everyone else!?" asks the Lizard
"I am Gourdy, Gourdy The Great! The others ran off at the sight of moving dirt. I believe I just saved your life, lizard man." you reply.
"Well, that's all fine and dandy, but not we've got a maulipede problem on our hands! I'm going to get the other's, you stay here and kill any more that come!"
Then the Lizard-man runs off, not even waiting for your approval in the matter.
After a few moments he's out of sight, and you see four moving dirt piles coming from far out of the desert. You look around, fearing that you're out-numbered.
You see a crate of rocks by the mine entrance and a shaky wooden tower by the dirt pile. There might be something in this watch-tower you can use!
Better hurry, the three maulipedes are closing in fast!

Ice resistance and ice breath? Cool! Injured? Not cool. Floating brains? Weird.
I might as well explain to these ladies that my ribs are cracked (ow) and hey, why not tell 'em about popping out of that dimensional portal thingy too. If I have the time in between being questioned by blue-robed ladies and fending off dragons, I'll also go check out that frozen floating brain thing.
Oh, hurry you say? I'm going to use my special move Wing Burst and hurry on over to the wooden tower.
Despite my cautious nature I feel compelled to talk to the dragon. I walk up to it and say thus:
"Greetings, Sky Ruler. Please, stay your anger and talk with me. I have much to ask one so full of wisdom, an it please thee. Before that, please, taste of this water and allow me to tend your pain."

Thus saying I take out the blue cloth, tip a little of the liquid from the jug on it and place it over one of the more painful looking areas. I also hold out the jug for the dragon to drink from, if it so wishes.
Then I wait to hear what it will say in return, if anything; ignoring the rest of the people around me.

"My Ribs..." you wheeze as the lady on the right quickly and tactfully wraps the blue cloth around you. It's quite soothing, and you can feel your breathing get easier.
"My name is Wes, and I have no idea where I am!" You reply "I went to sleep and then woke up falling near a volcano!"

"Well, what town do you come from?" the lady on the left asks as she offers you a sip of a jug.

"I don't think I come from any town in this world. That lake and volcano don't exist on any maps I've seen."

Just before they can ask you another question, the two ladies are called to the dragon, and you rest there. You take a sip of the jug you were handing and feel warmed instantly! You feel magic course through your veins as you can now cast firebolt again! You have lost your ice breath and ice resistance. (Refer to Tiska's Section For descision)

142857-----------------------------

You are soaked, your levitation device is soaked and unoperational, but you are not dead. Two ladies jump back in horror at your sight, while the multi-colored feather bird simply spreads it's wings in an intimidating posture. You release steam as your systems evaporate all the water that had soaked you and you float again. Through your voice-box you utter in a drone-like soundwave:
"I bring no harm"
The blue-robed women with unique tattoos on their foreheads seem to relax, if only slightly. One is about to ask something when a weird elf-like creature begins speaking to the dragon that had frozen you.
(Refer to Tiska's Section For descision)

Tiska---------------------------------
You begin your advance on the dragon, it looks at you like you're the ninth demon of Dengale before it looks into your mind's eye and sees your intentions. It feels your lack of fear and allows you to place the blue cloth on the largest of the lacerations.
You speak:
"Greetings, Sky Ruler. Please, stay your anger and talk with me. I have much to ask of one so full of wisdom, an it please thee. Before that, please, taste of this water and allow me to tend your pain."
you ignore the blue-robed lady's orders to back away and tend the wound while offering the jug to the dragon.
To Everyone-------------
<Calm yourselves, I no longer mean harm> the fire mage, the Welf and the brain-case hear. Only, they don't "Hear" it as in sound, the words and meanings reverberate throughout your minds.
<The fire mage had attacked a fellow dragon, however I see now it was merely out of fear. I regret my course of action and ask of you all forgiveness. Priestesses of Tsumi, stay your Cockatrice. I'd like to be able to fly afterwards>
The blue robed ladies addressed as "Priestesses of Tsumi" back off, and constrain the cockatrice.
<You three, you anger me through no fault of your own. Your existence is despised by this very world, only through the method of which you've entered. Through the Dimensional portals that lacerate space-time. I'm afraid this world's less intelligent creatures will reject your existence out of instinct. This is only because Mother Earth demands it.>
"Mother Earth?" Says the floating brain, "I saw a shrine with runes that emitted energies similar to mother earth."
The weird elf states "Why would mother earth attempt to destroy us! She is a passionate being!"
<Calm. This is what worries me. Mother Earth is desperate to be rid of you. Something must be festering her mind for her to take such actions. I request you find out this reason. You three should work together to meet this goal. Attempt to find the reason for your teleportation to this realm and find a way back. I fear the other dragons will not be so quick to let you go easy. As 142857 mentioned, there is a shrine to Mother Earth in Zygogo woods. Do not go there unless you're sure you know what to do.
I'll be off>
With the speech over with, the three rejected observe each other.

What is their reaction?

Gourdy the Great------------------------------
With a single flap of both winds, in seconds wind bursts from behind you propelling you to the top of the tower. the centipedes had popped out and rammed into each other, and remain above ground, dumbfounded. In the tower is a massive automatic crossbow, however there is no ammo around. There is also a few wooden planks that are ajar.
Time to improvise, the centipedes have located you and are gnawing the foundations of the tower, soon it will topple!

Jesus, took you long enough to get back to this. I thought it had pretty much been abandoned...

Anyway, "So uh, hi, elf girl, floating brain guy. Um... I guess we should do what that dragon said, yeah? I'm not the best at decision making, so I guess I'll let you two figure out what to do? Yeah, you two figure out what to do and I'll just go along with whatever y'all decide."

It's certainly been a really long time! Let's get back to business!

"When I passed by the Earth Shrine on the way here, the runes on the door repelled me and barred my entrance. I think our first objective is to find out how to open the door to the shrine. We should also try to ascertain whether we are the only three beings to have been teleported to this world."
