A new hill

[Anastasia]

The portal opens - a rippling, rainbow thing that constantly changes colors and shapes, but is nonetheless a portal.

[Ebiris]

Good enough, off they go through with Alicia in the lead!

[Anastasia]

You step through and immediately everything is a maelstrom around you. A maelstrom of chaos and elements, tearing at you, ripping at you.

You have the first chance, taking the lead and exposed to it as...

Chance to react.

[Ebiris]

Naturally Alicia asserts her will over the Chaos as easily as she would over Sylica. Nothing fancy, she simply creates a bubble of air about 100 feet in radius around herself.

[Anastasia]

Charisma check. Not normally required but this is obviously an unusual area of Limbo.

[Anastasia]

Limbo quiets to your command as Queen and Sulia join you. With their will it becomes utterly still, tamed for the moment.

[Ebiris]

"Limbo is quite violent here but this is controllable," Alicia says, spreading the air bubble out for a four mile radius around them just to clear things up and see if there's anything nearby.

[Anastasia]

Nothing nearby - but even amid Limbo? About 3 miles away it sits - the side of a mountain, which rises up high and out of sight. It seems solid, unchanging even amid the chaos of Limbo.

[Ebiris]

Anything distinctive about it enough to provoke a knowledge check?

[Anastasia]

Sure, go for it.

[Anastasia]

You recall old stories of great cliffs that overlook a river that approaches the Spawning Stone.

[Ebiris]

"I wonder if we're close? I heard something once about great cliffs overlooking a river that approaches it... though honestly I always just pictured it floating free in wild Limbo. I'm not even sure how big it is," Alicia admits to Sulia and Queen as they get their bearings.

Orienting herself so the mountainside slopes towards what she would now consider 'down' that still leaves two directions to potentially go in that would run parallel to that cliff. Unless they should go over it and it's on the other side? "Which direction feels best to you two?" They're better attuned to Chaos than she is after all.

[Anastasia]

"I've heard conflicting stories," Sulia admits as you two look about.

"Let's go to that cliff top," Queen points to the mountain you revealed, "High ground helps, even here."
