The pair seemed to roll on the floor for an eternity, the portal closing slowly behind them. Landing on a bare path of grass, in the middle of a clearing. They had arrived holding each other, at the junction of some roads surrounded by a few old and decrepit buildings. Looking up, Delora said “I saw them die through the closing portal, I think they are dead. But we survived and were somewhere. I just have no idea where?”

Zeric stood, stunned for a moment while trying to make sense of the frenzied events that had led up to them being here...
He walked slowly around the gathering of ramshackle buildings, trying to gain clues as to their current location from anything, architecture, artifacts or the very geography of the place, knowing it was a long shot at best...

Shaking himself from the moments disorientation, Dace quickly began a circuit of the area, making sure they were as alone as they appeared. Everything else was pushed from his mind - what was the death of two strangers to him anyway? - apart from the group's current predicament.

Paul, Zeric's circuit includes things like the angle of the sun, the climate, apparent season, etc

Rumbleskin shook himself down with a shrug and a whistful look on his face:
"Well, it looks like I willnae be goin' home fer a while noo. T'was a shame to leave such a good scrap too... Now, if only I kin rememmer where yon portal plops us oot topside..."

Cathmhaol let the tip of his sword drop as he relaxed his guard. He looked around, but there was no sign of Bregl or Aribella.
"Damn!" he cursed softly and closed his eyes in tribute to fallen comrades, his lips moving silently as he bid their souls safe journey to their everlasting resting place. He put the Palidin's final words to the back of his mind for now, meaning to discuss them with Zeric later.
After a moment, he opened his eyes and looked around. He glanced at Rumbleskin, "Well," he said, "Where are we?"

OOC- the temperature is cold, you could say brisk. The sun appears to be in roughly in the same place as it always was - you reckon that you could be anywhere between a mile and about 700 miles away. Probably to the north, rather than the south.

Rumbleskin looked at Cathmahol, blinked and did a very good impression of a rabbit infront of headlights before slapping the side of his helm with his gaintleted fist, producing a muffled clang and a puff of rust...
"I don't rightly know. All I do ken is yon portal was to lob us oot t'a safe spot should tha' halls o' me kin be o'er run with yon nasties. I never thought ta see tha' day when it would be used..."

Zeric gestured to the paths and the 'village', "Well lads and lass, I'd say we have a number of choices... We rest up in Rumbleskin's 'safe place', or we go north, southeast or southwest..."
OOC: Time of day, Paul? Roughly? Assuming that, by the angle of the sun, we're at the same time of year more or less...

"It's still early, so I'm not ready t' rest just yet," said Cathmhaol. "But we're no' goin' anywhere til we know where we are an' which way t' civilisation".
He stooped and looked at the paths that met in the centre of the clearing, searching for signs of any recent passage.

OOC - Youve been up and fighting most of the night.....
But it would make sense to search the area first.
