You've never seen any of the plants here before, and the dirt on the ground is grittier than you're used to. The air smells slightly different, and while there are quite a few obvious natural landmarks visible, you don't recognize any of them. Combined with the smaller sun and unfamiliar constellations, you're inclined to believe that the Dancing Hut has traveled to another planet. You're not sure which one, but it's definitely not Golarion.
Sigrun looks around amazed by the completely unfamiliar environment, before staring up at the distant...and oddly smaller sun. "Uhm.... does anyone have any idea where we are?" she asks turning to look at Hobbes noting him studying the surroundings intently. "And where's Percy?"
"Well, we ain't on Golarion no more. That's all I can say. Gorgeous is on my shoulder. See?" If one squints, they can see a tiny Percy.
Leaning over to look closer, Sigrun can't help smiling. "What did you do?" she asks shaking her head with a chuckle. "Well I guess we can throw everything we know right out the window." she muses looking around.
6" Percy holds up her rod of wonder. Chaos magic is the best!
He was about to question Percy but when he opened his mouth and naturely took a breathe his face scrunched up and his ears sort of stood up. Question forgotten he moved about the small area they stood in inhaling the scents of the place. His tail lashing about back and forth in excitement.... or agitation. They both sort of looked the same.
"We're not on Golarion? Whoa!" Zses says, watching the star-filled sky above him. "The Hut is sending farther and farther,apparently!"
"Looks like I'm not the only six inches woman around here anymore." Crow grins at Percy, holding her new wand.
"Should we look around for...help, directions or something? The ravens said we should look for some Dragon Legion and Howling Storm. I'm pretty sure that I can understand whoever we meet, by the way."
Neverhome wordlessly takes a few steps around, looking at the plants and the strange sky.
As you examine your surroundings, you hear the beat of approaching wings. Shortly thereafter, a red dragon flies overhead, turns, and begins to swoop toward your position. It's wearing armor and carrying a lance-wielding rider.
The first thing that passes Percy's mind is "armor for the Slaygon", then she had a moment's silence for the lost. That moment is punctuated with
A ray of potent magic.
The ray is simply absorbed by the rider's armor.
Seeing Percy launch a spell off his shoulder, Hobbes follows suit with a volley of arrows at the mount.
Neverhome snarls as he spots the dragon before he coughs, annoyingly he wasn't able to do what he done previously.
"foreign world foreign world what if its friendly?!"
The felinerai moved forward and to the left trying to make sure they were not all in the line of dragons fire.
"Eh?" Neverhome stops to look at the Samurai and then back to the dragon. "Silence, in your mounted area of expertise is... angry swooping or coming to say hello swooping?" he asks incredulously.
" could have been flying lower to see what we are!"
He quickly replied though by his tone of voice, he wasnt chastising anyone... just sort of throwing it out there, his sword arm did indeed hover close to the hilt pf his katana.
"... well we did just come out of Hut that was nyet there moment ago... on different... world? But dragon... but being ridden..." Neverhome mumbles to himself, obviously confused over the whole situation.
"HEY! Say something if you aren't going to try to kill us!" Crow shouts to the rider, hoping that most chances of peace weren't already thrown out of the window.
Percy glares accusingly at her rod. I was hoping for some cover, but noooooo, you had to go and attack the dragon, didn't you!
"That was my thought too, no guarantee that either the dragon or the rider are hostile. Though now that we just started shooting at them without provocation..." Sigrun says with a sigh.
Neverhome just scratches his head before waving up at the dragon and rider. It's not like there was anything he could do anyway until they landed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Hobbes' arrows narrowly miss the rider , as the dragon hastily aborts its descent. It withdraws to approximately 200ft from your position and remains hovering. Although the rider (a tall humanoid completely covered in fur) keeps her lance readied, its tip stays upright, so she doesn't seem aggressive - at least for the moment. Cautiously, she calls out to you.
Neverhome calls back
Other than that he really didn't know how to answer the Rider's questions.
Neverhome blinks and nods back to the rider before answering, pointing to himself and then to each of his companions in turn and saying their names. When he's called everyone he turns to the others. "Rider is Bescaylie and dragon is Efrixes... I think they are lovers... though I may have gotten word wrong."
Sigrun looks up at the pair hovering above them. "Then I'm really glad Hobbes missed."
Neverhome quickly nods in agreement.
"Any I think our world is called Golarion." Sigrun says quietly.
"Ah, spasibo." Neverhome says to Sigrun before he turns back to the duo.
Neverhome bows to the rider.
"Oh, um. Baba. Yaga?" he responds before turning to the others. "Have eagle, enemies have bearskin."
"Uh, okay. They need help?"
"Da. Enemies besieging home."
"So they're under attack from the people who ahve the bearskin needed to get the hut to it's next location?" Sigrun asks.
"Da." Neverhome says again while nodding.
"and we need something from them so it sounds like we have the basis for a deal yes yes?"
He added to the others tail lashing excitedly. Sometimes simple was good.
"Da."
Remember we need something from her foes to do don't get too deep in her side of things. We need to remain neutral.

"If we conquer their foes, I don't think we'll have a problem getting what we need." Sigrun replies.
Neverhome nods. "She says her commander has bird. Did nyet sound concerned with us needing."
"Well, if it's okay with them maybe we could ask." Zses nods, having managed to follow the discussion in Draconic "I mean, we could end up having to get involved in this, if this Howling Storm guys aren't as friendly."
