mayfield_rpg | event: portal four

The fourth portal, as might be expected, can be found atop the hill known as Makeout Point. The other side of the portal isn't altogether that much different from the side you're entering from, save for the thicker trees and somewhat darker lighting.

The other side of the portal is significantly colder than the Mayfield side; frost covers the ground, and although it's not quite freezing, you'll want to bundle up. A glance at the sky reveals what you might have been dreading: glitch holes, in varying size, litter the skyline. The sun is hidden behind a set of thick clouds, creating a melancholy atmosphere.

The landscape around you is relatively flat, and you can't see too far beyond the forest ahead of you. It isn't until you turn around, facing the portal that you entered from, that you see the rising slope of the ground. The mountain rises high, higher than you can see from its base. There's a rough, primitive path heading up its slope, and for now simply hiking will be sufficient. As you get further, however, simply walking won't be enough: you're going to have to climb...

Somewhere, closer than you might prefer, a single wolf howls, and is shortly joined by more.

Better get moving.

[Suspicious indeed. He hesitated. Granted, drones never had inhuman features, so this baffled him slightly. Was she a non-drone from Mayfield, or was she native to this mountain?

For Mika's part, if she had the sense of smell that her animal parts indicated, she might notice his scent was different than that of a normal human. Almost... clinical, too perfect.]

[She paused, turning to sniff the air to be sure she was smelling what she thought she was smelling. If Tieria was looking carefully, he'd see her eyes flash yellow like any animal's.]

You going to just hide behind the flora or are you going up too?
