CyMage -

As you stumble forward, the rumbles continue...The next few runes you see are in the same schools as the others. Time/Space and Alteration.

[Anastasia]

Carthrat - There is so much raw magical energy in the air that your filtering attempt is not fully successful.

Your scan's initial results show that the plane's integrity is fine. It's is in no danger at all.

You turn to make it to a window, but the worst shaking yet sends you to your knees.

[Anastasia]

At this point, a low pitched ripping sound can be heard...soft, yet audible and somehow disturbing.

CyMage - The sound reminds you of the hmm that a Dimension Door spell makes in the caster's ears.

[Carthrat]

With few options left open, Carthrat braces himself against whatever's handy..

"RICHTER! I hope to all the hells you can get this thing under control!"

[CyMage]

Cy's eyes got wide as an inkling of what was happening finaly came to him.  Grabbing onto the nearest bolted piece of furniture, he held on.

[Anastasia]

Both -

The rumbling continues for a few more second, the discordant sound reaching a fever pitch. The air starts to shimmer and stretch...and a vortex quickly forms in the middle of the room. As you stare at it...It twists and swirls...

Just as this sight sinks in, something that will haunt your dreams for years to come happens. A floating sword appears above the vortex and slices straight down...Is it Render? It can't be...The air cuts apart...hole...falling, floating, rushing...

CyMage -

You slowly return to awareness by the smell of moss and the sound of a rushing brook. Your body feels worn and tired, and as you try to sit up you notice many a new bruise and bump.  

To your left, Carthrat is laying face up. He seems to be unconcious. All around you is light forest, tall trees blotting out the sky, except for the small ribbon a river cuts to your left.

[CyMage]

Shaking his head to clear it a bit, CM wondered outloud.  "Didn't we just do this recently?"

Moving towards Carthrat, he checked if his partner was alive.

[Anastasia]

Cy -

Carthrat is breathing and his pulse is fine.

[CyMage]

Cy reached into his pocket and rooted for the smelling salts again.

[Anastasia]

Cy -

You find and use the salts on Carthrat...He stirs, coughs and wakes up.

[CyMage]

"Morning, Sleeping Beauty.  Having fun?"

[Anastasia]

Carthrat -

The attention grabbing scent of smelling salts drag you from the abyss. Groaning, you open yours eyes to see CyMage and those damned smelling salts.

You shift automatically, and promptly notice a few new briuses. Joy. You are in a forest of some sort by the looks of things.

[Carthrat]

"At least I'm- no, I won't say it."

Carthrat sits up and gingerly rubs a few bruises.

"This.. is.. deja vu, no?"

Carthrat checks the trees around them, the sky, and the general area, trying to discern what time it is, and perhaps where they are. After that, he does a spot-check on all his equipment.

[Anastasia]

Carthrat - It's hard to get a lay on the exact time, as the trees block out a good deal of the sun. You'd guess it's afternoonish, but beyond that, you can't tell.

You are in a forest. You have no clue other than that.

All your equipment is present, barring any prevoius losses, of course.
