Our heroes stepped through a portal into a new world and found themselves in a city on the edge of an active volcano. Smoke filled the air, and people were screaming in terror. As they made their way towards the city, they encountered a bridge over a boiling, smouldering river.
As our heroes stepped onto the bridge, they were met with the sight of four undead soldiers blocking their path. These skeletal soldiers looked to be reanimated corpses, their eyes glowing a sinister red. The heroes knew they had to act quickly if they wanted to make it across the bridge and into the city beyond.
Praxis, with a flick of his wrist, unleashed the spell Asha's Hidious Laughter. The spell caused the first undead soldier to collapse into hysterical laughter, unable to move or defend itself. Diajen saw this as the perfect opportunity and, with a swift strike, sliced through the ribcage of the second undead soldier, sending bone fragments flying in all directions.
Trenton, not one to be left out of the action, saw the laughing undead soldier and took advantage of its state. With a wave of his hand, he used his powers to coax the soldier towards the edge of the bridge. The undead soldier, still laughing uncontrollably, walked right into Trenton's trap and tumbled over the edge, disappearing into the boiling, smouldering river below.
Drogan, the last of our heroes, was faced with the final undead soldier. With a mighty swing of his axe, he cleaved the soldier in half at the waist. The two halves fell to the ground with a sickening thud, the red glow in the soldier's eyes fading into darkness.
As the dust settled and the sounds of battle subsided, our heroes knew that they had successfully navigated their first challenge in this strange new realm. They looked at each other, silently acknowledging their success, before continuing on their journey into the city beyond.
They made their way towards the arena, where they encountered a minotaur fighting a gladiator, completely unaware of the chaos happening around them. Magical energy seemed to be funneling down below the arena, so the heroes went underground to investigate.
As they approached a large set of double doors, Drogan leaned in to listen. But before he could hear anything, the doors opened, and they were confronted with a mechanized crystal whirling with what looked like another planar verse inside it. The crystal was protected by four large golems, and the heroes knew they had to act fast.
While Diajen, Drogan and Trenton fought to distract the golems, Praxis attempted to rewrite the sigils on the crystal to shut it down. But instead of stopping the crystal, the inside of the device swallowed up Praxis, and one by one, the heroes were pulled into the swirling vortex.
