Aisha see's that no one is moving towards the teleporter and much in the same fashion as before, she and T'savi make their way to the room they had been directed at to find their way to Galasir, before saying even as she went. Nyo. nyone of us are from here, rremember? The moon we met one was the first time we had even heard of teleporting to a moon. So It seems we'll be relying on you as a guide.
With that, moving to the teleporter and.. waiting to see what she would see on the other side.
Harmony hears Benedict as she nods before hearing Bir. "We definitely have never been to Galasir at all." she says back, agreeing with Aisha as she follows her and everyone else into the teleporter.
Abraxas CON Save: 7 Aisha CON Save: 15 Harmony CON Save (+3 w/ Garu's Aura of Protection): 20 Garu CON Save: 23 T'savi CON Save (+3 w/ Garu's Aura of Protection): 8
This teleportation circle does not require a command phrase, the party discovers as Abraxas lets out, "Telga--" and disappears with Aisha. Mro Jus Bir soon follows with Garu and Harmony, and in the blink of an eye, you no longer stand in Lyrikav, but on a moon that is quite different from the fiery hellscape of Vandyr.
"--lasirpres," Abraxas finishes. "Beg your pardon?" a deep and slow voice asks in reply. A panda-like humanoid guards the other side of the teleportation room, though his expression and the spear still tied to his belt suggest it is not you that he is guarding. "Welcome to Galasir," he mumbles.
The teleportation circle on this side of Galasir sits within a well-constructed guard tower, manned by at least a half-dozen of these panda creatures. The sight that greets you outside is magnificent; plains stretch for miles beneath a bright orange sky, disrupted straight ahead of you by an unending sea, the water colored white by the moon's strange atmosphere.
The air is strange on Galasir, causing you to feel lighter on your feet, but a thin atmosphere makes any exertion take a little more effort.
For Abraxas:
You find breathing to come a little harder on Galasir, and your balance is thrown slightly off. Your DEX and CON modifiers have both decreased by 1.
For Aisha:
You notice that T'savi seems to be a little more affected by the moon's thin air. Her breathing comes a little harder and her balance has been thrown just slightly off. Her DEX and CON modifiers have both decreased by 1.
Abraxas wobbles. He tries to inhale deeply, but coughs again instead. And then coughs some more. Once he catches his breath, Abraxas will look around thoughtfully. He will try to perceive what the Pandan guard is guarding: 21. "Hello, friend," he will say. "We were sent to solve a mystery involving nets. Would you happen to be from Wysto?" If it seems safe, he will step closer to the guard.
Undaunted by the atmospheric change but wonderfully enamored by the sight of these large furry guardians, Garu studies them in detail. “You are exquisitely in union with the light. My name is Garu. By what name may I address you?”

Harmony was surprised as they appeared and saw the panda-like humanoid on the other side of the room they're in. "Thank you!" she says back to them with a cheerful grin. It felt like she was lighter on her feet right now, the atmosphere change not affecting her really. Then she looked out, absolutely amazed and fascinated by the bright orange sky and the white unending sea. It's so pretty here!
From your perspective, it just looks like these folk are here guarding this specific teleportation circle. Galasir is quite temperate and appears very habitable, so it seems likely that Lyrikav would have a much more active interest in maintaining the portals than Ruskivek did with the portals to Vandyr.
"I am not Wysto. I am Varin," the guard answers Abraxas with a roll of his eyes. "The Wysto are that way." He points to the southeast, toward the large body of water. He seems equally bored with Garu's questioning, responding only, "Ondis, miss. Galasir Patrol."
"Well, what do you think? It is beautiful, no? I had forgotten how strange the lighter air is here. You get used to it after a couple of weeks but it can be jarring at first," Mro Jus Bir comments as Mro Jus Bur follows him out of the structure.
Aisha, initially admiring the strange beauty of the moon panics when she see's that Tsavi seems to not quite be used to something here, the atmosphere not effecting her. But she helps steady her panther, petting around her feline form. Initially she had been intending to relieve one of the panda guards of his beer money but Tsavi's condition shifted her focus away from that. She did keep paying attention however, to the conversation, and when the direction was pointed, Aisha would shuffle her hands across Tsavi's back and neck. If Aisha can take this, you will be fine in time sweet kitten. Endurre it forr now.... Aisha will keep her eyes on you.
Looking then to Mro while still petting along Tsavi's body who, despite her condition, purrs in that soft, rumbling purr, slightly dulled from her condition. Indeed Mro. But if we are to assist with these 'nets' let us be on the way. The sooner the better.
OOC: If we are ready to head to the Wysto village, let's establish a marching order for the party's travel. The front rank will be making the Survival check to try and find the village. The back rank will be using their passive perception to keep an eye out for any potential surprises. The middle rank can be foraging, mapping the route, or any other light activity. Mro Jus Bir will be in the middle rank, and Mro Jus Bur will be in the back rank.
Harmony had heard the guard and then the others, nodding as she followed everyone else outside. She will be in the middle of the group, happily playing some music and humming to boost everyone's spirit and morale while they walk.
Abraxas will cast Mage Armor and take the front or walk right behind Garu. He keeps his balance by going slowly and touching the surrounding plant life. One of his favorite sections of the library is the wilderness adventure section: 21.
OOC: I'll assume Garu is in the middle rank, then, so we can get moving.

Abraxas seems to be a little off balance, but the wizard remembers his directions well. After a few miles, the ocean juts inland. Up close, it is even more stunning; the reflection of white off of the water makes it seem as if a layer of snow lies atop, but the temperate climate denies that possibility. Further out, the reflection turns to a dark shade of orange the deeper the water gets.
It only takes a few hours to reach the next sign of civilization, but the difference in time between Rikirta and Galasir means night falls more quickly. The light of the sky is fading when the small village comes into view - a collection of twenty or thirty houses, only a few of them are on land. Humanoids with bony armor and hooked heads like seahorses swim in the midst of the rest of the housing in the ocean near the shore.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Hmm," Abraxas says. "Fascinating! Ocean splits the town." Abraxas squints. "Does anyone see beings we are likely to be able to speak with? I could try my rusty Primordial . . . " He continues moving toward the village, hoping to perceive someone they can talk to: 14. "If we've been hired to repair the nets of the seahorse creatures and have to spend days underwater, I'm going to take every book Benedict has been abusing from him," he says.
Aisha would look to Abraxus and say This one is sure Mro can speak with them, since he has been here before. But likely they speak our language already. she would say, simply following the group, and keeping an eye on the two Kitsune, while occasionally peeking out around them and towards where they were going. She did find it all beautiful, the world was .. unique, and definitely more colorful than Abeir... but she wasn't happy with this detour, and her face made that plain as day.
Harmony was really amazed as the white on the water makes it looks like there is snow on top even though the climate is not cold, noticing that the reflection turns to orange the deeper the water is. This place is so pretty, now glad that they accepted the quest to help with the net. They finally got to the village, surprised to see that most of the houses are on water along with humanoids with bony armor and hooked heads like seahorses swimming. Oh, she did not expect that the village would be literally on the water as well. She then heard Abraxas question if anyone can see beings that they could speak with, thinking. "Oh, I've got my spell to make communication easier!" she happily said back before hearing Aisha, sighing. "Alright, that works too. Certainly wasn't expecting to be doing a lot of swimming when we planned to come to Lyrikav, but luckily I've got outfits I can swim in without trouble at least." Harmony had said back, smiling and thinking of what to wear that won't get ruined or be a hassle swimming around in.
Taking in the details, Garu observes the creatures of the town. She tries to assess how anything evil could surface in a place as pretty as this. She asks the rest of the group, “These are the Wysto?”

"I fear you may be overcomplicating the situation," Mro Jus Bir says. "The Wysto, or at least most of them, speak Common as the rest of us do. I fear you may insult them if you assume otherwise. They are humanoid, you see, and as intelligent or more intelligent than you or I." The bard retrieves his quill and book and begins to write, taking in the scene before you.
For Abraxas:
Mro Jus Bir's words seem to be true. The humanoids that you see in the water move with an intelligence, and though you can't hear the words, they are speaking with one another.
The nearest Wysto are a pair that seem to be repairing part of a house that sits near the shore.
