From the Dreaming

Post by **GM-Mike** » Mon Jul 13, 2009 8:48 am

After a while of fighting flying frogs and ballerina elephants, after seeing money dropping from the sky but always just out of reach, long after everyone had a chance to join the river otters for some fun, Far Reach can be seen in the distance with a certain shimmering about it. At first, not one thinks it is real but rather another dream simply taunting them, but still desperate to be back where things make sense, where dreams remain obtainable and nightmares remain deep within, people cannot help getting a closer look.

To some, the shimmer, the glow, the look is familiar, and it becomes clear to them that what they are looking at IS a dream, a dream caught at the river by the fisherman. Someone had wished to go home and this was their ride and they would sleep in relative safety tonight while the rest had to seek their own way home. To those who knew the fisherman, they had to wonder what this seemingly simple dream had cost, and was it far less than they themselves had offered the fisherman for their own respective dreams, dreams that may not have yet come to fruition?

But then, when everyone was suddenly consumed by the dream, when the ride was not for one, but for all, when eyes were opened and everything once again looked familiar, it became clear that the cost had been great...

Ark looks around, he cuts himself to make sure that he bleeds and then begins to cry a little.

*sniff* "Im so happy to be back."

(OOG: Quick question....were you all transported to the Inn, the House of Chance....where??)

(I was wondering the same thing. Since I was asleep in Avangard before I awoke in the dreaming, does that mean that I am now back in Avangard?)

(im thinking here, and i could be wrong, i often am, that because we were looking at far reach, that we wake up outside the buildings, but i could be wrong, but Ark is outside)

Ark looks around and kisses the ground, he had been trapped in there for too long, and was starting to go crazy, he picks up his sword and gives it a swing, smiling, he looks around for anybody around.

(well if that's the case...)
Charlesk begins charging his sword.

Charlesk walks up to an ordinary building and tries to disenchant it... just to make sure it is real.

(Paer' An' sits up and slowly looks around, as if wondering if this is just another dream. He carefully watches Ark cut himself and Charlesk try to disenchant the building)

Does anyone know where we are? I don't think I've ever seen this place... Is everyone else alright?

Ark streches, and heads off in the direction of the portal

Drake looks around, pinches himself, thinks about pink elephants tapdancing, and when nothing happens he knows that hes back. "Its so good to be back!" He pulls three gold and five silver from his pocket, looks around, and then laughs to himself as he walks into town flipping a sliver piece in the air with his thumb.

"Well, I am so relieved that we all made it out of that alive. I'm heading back home to Avangard, because they need me there. Good luck to you all."
Charlesk heads to the portal.

The silent surface of the river near the bend where the fisherman was dreaming is suddenly disturbed as furious bubbles roll to the surface. Starting further out then making haste to the shore as a hand afixed with a strange gem breaks through and claws at the grassy bank trying to gain purchase whilst slipping back in the water until finally the form of a half drown dwarf pulls itself atop the bank coughing water feverishly before passing out on the grass and his legs still floating in the soft current.

While walking into town drake runs into golden, "Hello golden, how are you doing? You havent been here before have you?"

I can't say that I have Drake... Perhaps you could guide me to the House of Chance? I'm eager to catch up to my new employer, the Elder Abaddon... Maybe you've heard of him?

Paer' An' makes sure that he still has all of his items and then waits patiently for Drake to point him in the right direction

"Yeah i have, i work for him now as well, at least i think i do. Im actually kind of glad that i am working with a warrior such as yourself. You defended yourself quite well in the dreaming and i was very impressed. I think that in the future we could make quite the pair, i can use you, and i think that you could use someone like me as well."
