Alright, I think we have a plan then. I’m going to channel an anti-healing spell through the stone. You take the opportunity to break us through, while Lily augments either of our magic to account for any unforeseen protection mechanisms.

@Fractured

This plan is sound. I'll cast on your mark.

*Removes a metallic, obsidian-black dagger from my pack*
Imbue this blade by order of darkness—impart endless suffering to my opponents.
*Black bolts arc along the length of the dagger as I plunge it into the stone, as the same runic bands begin to craw along its length*

*Outstretches my hand towards the stone and a golden magic circle appears*

Let stone move and flow like water. Erode by my hand.

*The stone begins to crumble and turn to dust*

*Red magic circles spin on top of my irises once more*
Unraveling counteroffensive magic... successful.
*The bands of magic disperse into nothingness*

@Nimda

*The glow of my magic circle begins to intensify and rapidly breaks open the stone*

Quickly. We should get on through before any other unforseen consequences arrive.

*Nods*
You go first. I’m going to keep the hole open and follow behind.

*I run through and look back at you and Lily*

Lily, you next!

@Vacare

Don’t worry!
*Jumps down the hole, grabbing my dagger as I decent, while Lily goes down at the same time, phasing through my body*

*looks around*

We're getting somewhere I think. Have you been here before?

@Vacare

First time!

@Nimda

Good, that means this area is new... But that also means, new danger. Thankfully I'm not seeing any hostile aura here, at least not yet.

*Looks back and forth, scanning for traps*
Seems safe so far to me!

@Nimda

Let's keep heading down a direction then.

*walks down a hallway*

While we're here, you know a little about me, where are you two from and how long have you been here in this world?

@Vacare

We’re adventurers from a world that sounds very similar to your own. We haven’t been here for more than a few days at most.

@Fractured

And how did you end up here? Can't have been like me.

@Vacare

We can travel freely between worlds. It’s kind of like an advanced type of gate spell.

@Nimda

We were always aware in my world that there was a way to do something like that. However, it was prohibited due to its inherent dangers. Gods forbid we open a gate and we find a world of horrors waiting for us. Though, I doubt that's anything surprising to you two.

@Vacare

We’re no strangers to that idea. But in the end, everywhere has its own horrors.

For now.

@Source

For good. I'm not sure what sort of anomaly this is, but once my shattered core restabilizes, it's over.
*My arms fall limp to my sides, as though exhausted*
The struggle.
