You are going about your business when you are suddenly surrounded by an impenetrable mist.
The mist dissipates and you find yourself on a lonely road in a misty forest as the sun sets over the mountains you can see in one direction. The other direction on the road is obscured by the impenetrable mist. There are 5 others on the road with you.
What do you do?

"That was a fine trick! Does anyone care to explain what just happened? There's a fine lady waiting for me at The Nightsong."
You see a finely dressed human with black hair of medium length, well kempt, and smiling light green eyes. He wears an immaculate white shirt and a short black jacket with a discreet floral pattern. A panflute peeks from under his jacket as it's slung over the shoulder on a golden thread. His stance is slightly crouched at the moment, rapier drawn in right hand, but pointing down. He's smiling, one eyebrow raised in question.
You see a young man, black hair, goatee. He wears leather armor, made from reptile skin and a shield that looks like the shell of a giant turtel. On his belt hangs a nasty looking club, made from gnarled wood covered in thorns, but also two beautiful little red flowers.
Sudenly one of the flowers wilts and falls to the ground.
I cast detect magic.
"Anyone of you been to Castigliar or Mezro recently?" He asks absentmindly no one in particular.
A tall, thin half-elf with long silver-blonde hair and soft blue eyes appears from the mist. He wears fine chainmail, a shield on his back, and a rapier at his hip. He scans about, taking in the figures around him and looking somewhat dismayed.
He calls out to the others in a strong baritone: "What is the meaning of this? Who are you all?"
A middle-aged half-elf, faint silver speckling his beard, wearing black vestments blinks and looks around. He's holding a prayer book in one hand and appears to have been in prayer.
"This is unusual. None of you appear near death. My name is Beren. Are you in need of services from my lady, the Raven Queen?"
Seeing that others share his confusion, Hansi relaxes and straightens his posture. Looking at the two who have not yet spoken: "What about you? Is this your doing?"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
“This fog seams to be charged with magic, maybe some kind of barrier. But what is more strange, there is diffuse magic all around us. I have never seen anything like it. I can only speculate, but maybe some different plane, one full of magic energy, or maybe everything is an illusion magic?”
DM:
Do i have any idea what may cause this diffuse magic or what it may be? Arcane: 6
"Well, you could try your luck with a magic fog of necrotic energy that pulled 5 strangers over long distances and possibly time here and hope you end up where you came from, or we could try to find out who is behind this."
"I don't know as much about magic as I'd like, but that sounds like a fairly risky move. Are you suggesting there is someone or something in the area that is responsible for this necrotic mist? I should like to know why it brought us here."

With an audible sigh, Hansi sheaths his rapier and says: "Since we all seem equally confused about what is happening here, I'm going to choose to believe our answer lies somewhere else. I'm for finding some sign of civilisation before the night falls, and I want nothing to do with any necrotic fog. West seems to be our option here and I'd prefer we stuck together for the time being. What do you say, shall we head towards those peaks?"
As you head towards the mountains, you notice the mists seem to follow you at a distance. You can see a village is the distance.
The gravel road leads to a village, its tall houses dark as tombstones. Nestled among these solemn dwellings are a handful of closed-up shops. Even the tavern is shut tight.
A soft whimpering draws your eye toward a pair of children standing in the middle of an otherwise lifeless street.

for DM
Can i do a survival check to see if i know anything about our location? 9, also does my detect magic spell show anything?

Detect magic shows strong magic from the impenetrable mist, and diffuse magic all around.

It's almost like a faint aura of necromancy. It's hard to describe.

The sun is slowly sinking behind the peaks to the west.
