Uther was seeing red until Saerirra put her hand on his chest to stop him. He slowly started seeing her face. He was able to hear and even hear himself think rather the shrill ringing pulsed through him. He nods to her.
Saerirra found some chairs they sat and started discussing their options. He found himself pacing. He walked back and forth, shaking his head everytime they mentioned leaving one of them behind.
"Im with peshley. we must all go together. It is not safe to leave someone behind or go with less than our full strength. We can try to bring the horses in if not then we can leave them in the dwarve cottage that seems to be the most solid structure. It will provide shelter from the elements and beasts. That is if they cannot follow us into the tree."
He then walks towards the tree and starts looking at it from all angles.
So, we are at the tree side (all 5 of us for now, plan "D" by Saerirra's classification) looking at what supposed to be an entrance.
(I suppose yes. We've hidden the horses as best we could inside the one remaining building, with a prayer for their safety, and made our way to the tree and looking through it, gonna roll an investigation check in case it's needed since it seems that's what we're doing.)
As all of you stand by the tree, you peer through the hole, (which is roughly 6feet tall, and 5 feet wide) all you see is the other side....
Saerirra carefully steps through...and to the rest of the party, seems to disappear...Peshley's poney glows even more...and Cade is staring at the Satyr figurine, fascinated. He starts hearing voices in his head..."Let go of your fears...REVEL in life!"
As Saerrira steps through the other side of the Tree, she suddenly emerges into a different world. Like the other side of a mirror...Everything is the same, but slightly distorted, bathed in twilight and greenish reflections. The fireflies produce a strange kind of humming, like a mysterious melody in this "Tim Burton-cartoon-like" scenery...

"W-what? What is this place? Guys! Come see--" Saerirra just notices nobody else among the group with her. She sticks her hand back through the portal and motions her hand to signal the others to enter. She immediately takes stock of the surroundings.

(Turns out we could have easily brought the mounts in with us after all.)
(It's not too late - one can go back and bring them all. And judging by the presence of Peshley's pony, we can safely assume, we took animal with us - it was suggested in a couple of posts anyway)
First thing Laievis did after initial shock of Saerrira's disappearance, relieve to see at least her hand back and attempt to go through the portal - is making sure he could go back the same way. If it was possible, then horses were carefully lead through the portal as well (Laievis used all his elven charm to calm them down).
- I have a feeling, Peshley, you horse is can detect magic. Or may be evil? Too bad there is no druid among us.

Laievis would try to remember anything about that kind of portals and he studies surroundings
Laeivis is 100% sure this is a Fey Crossing, aka a portal to the Fey Wild, another plane of existence, parallel to the Material Plane where the Fey have their Domains and Kingdoms, ruled by the various ArchFeys. He gently pulls his horse through, and his suspicions reveal true, as he disappears from the Material Plane and enters a strange new landscape...
Passing through the Tree almost feels like walking through warm water. The different atmosphere immediately hits you: it is warmer, but darker, yet full of dancing lights, and Tree sized glowing mushrooms...

(Needless to say, Taranonn is with the group as well as Peshley's pony and Cade's Canine. Also, Saerirra might know this is the Feywild as well. Not an expert by any means, but according to her College description, her magic came from the Feywild possibly. Just a thought. Also, another of my characters would be flipping out in joy right now. lol)
"This place.....is beautiful!" is all Saerirra could say when experiencing the unique beauty of this plane. Completely forgetting the mission for several moments to take in everything. Shaking her head a bit to gather her wits, she begins looking towards the ground for Gnoll footprints.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
After Saerrira enters the tree portal, her hand reemerges and signals for them to follow. Uther enters right away guiding Taranonn by the stirrup. Laeivis, Peshley and Saerrira seem to notice things he doesnt. As they converse he learns that this is a portal to the Fey world. "How would gnolls know of this portal ? " he asks thinking their might be more to these attacks than they assume, given the portals and daemon possessed heyenas.
As he moves forward, He tries to look around to see if he notices anything else.
Peshley, fascinated by the portal takes a moment to study it. It would be so amazing to be able to create something like this. It must have taken considerable magic.

Trying to take in all the details, she suddenly realises that she should be moving on. She takes Pony's bridle and leads her through the gateway. As she emerges on the other side, she immediately feels unnerved. She couldn't put her finger on it, but things were not right. It wasn't the lights or the giant fungi. They were clearly different. This was more a sense of unease, deep in her belly. The surroundings disturbed her so much that she barely noticed the Pony was glowing again. At this rate she would need to buy a cover for her so they wouldn't get spotted easily.
Dumbstruck, Peshley surveys the area, looking for signs of where the gnolls may have gone, and any immediate threats.
Cade - Having heard a voice looks around trying to see where it had come from, but then looks back down at what he thought previously was a toy and hears it again, "Let go of your fears...REVEL IN LIFE!", to which he reaches his hand out and grasps the figurine in order to pick it up.

"Beautiful?" Laievis looked at the giant mushroom right in front of the group "May be. But this is also very ... alien. Fey creatures think and feel differently. They don't even have to be evil to be cruel."He lookd at the ground - it was difficult to get any readings in flickering light of fireflies, but he tried.
(Adding my rolls to others to see tracks heading away from the portal)
Uther is not sure how to track the gnolls in this realm but he decides to take the widest path forward. As the dwarves are not safe with the Gnolls and they must make haste. Taking a few steps he motions to his friends " let us go forth , if they are alive they won't be for long"
"Forth where, Uthar?" Calmly asked Laievis continuing his search for any clues indicating where gnolls went. "I would rather get at least a general idea about direction than end up in the part of this world opposite the one where gnolls hold our prisoners".
"Cade, does your talking toy say anything useful here on this side of the portal or still mumbling about personal freedom?"
(since we all crossed the portal - and several times already back and forth with all the horses - I assume we learned that satire was talking to Cade)

"Right, we need to move as quickly and carefully as we can."
Saerirra mounts Taranonn, carefully riding side saddle as she has Taranonn follow Uther's path forward slowly behind him. She is constantly looking out for anything, dangerous or otherwise.

Also, Peshley's poney might be somehow connected to this plane. And earlier, you realize it used the Cantrip Resistance on her....
Peshley's poney is most likely some variation of Unicorn! After all, they are native to the Fey Wild (Nat 20 on ARCANA...you figure it out)
OOC Lets just hope it doesn't end up like this one lol
