Ba'al surveyed the new group, the raucous blond man in armor who was apparently drunk or just insane, the lady with the tail (that was interesting), and then the skeleton man that was on ire (Ba'al's gaze slid rapidly over that one. For some reason, it hurt intensely when their eyes met, and he didn't know why). And then...things happened. Many things, at once. The tower outside burst into life as visible waves of power rolled through the city, and Ba'al moved to the window to watch. There, he was able to see buildings hoisted into the sky like matchsticks as the environment rearranged itself in a display that would probably impress even the Ancients. Lightning flared, thunder peeled, then time seemed to stand still, like he was going through the Gate.

Wh3en consciousness returned, he found himself standing in a green valley, picturesque mountains in the distance, and not a cloud in the sky. It seemed some representation of paradise at least, if it weren't for the dinosaurs wandering about. Before he could muse further, words appeared in front of him, like some holographic message, detailing their task. So, hunt the Legendary Dragon eh? It sounded like something he'd have done searching for the Sangraal. Well, it couldn't be too bad, right? Though he had his doubts given that it was a 'Legendary' dragon and all.

He then went into the quick explanation for the new arrivals. "Well then, it seems we have our first mission. As I said, I am Ba'al. You new folks", he gestured to the fox type lady, the skeleton man, and the drunken warrior, "have been summoned here by a near omnipotent entity known as the Viewer, who has charged us with 21 challenges to determine who is worthy to receive a single wish, for whatever you want, as well as returning everyone home. Losing will leave you trapped here, dying is not advised. And this is the first challenge."

He then stepped forward. "I suggest we actually find the dragon before we think about how to kill it. After all, information is something usually worth having, especially when dealing with a legendary creature." He pointed to the mountains in the distance then. "Given that I don't see any big, flying reptiles above us, I would suggest we head in that direction, where it probably has a nest." Yes, Ba'al was somewhat genre savvy when it came to fantasy literature.
