Nobody can see anything but pure white, at first. But as their vision clears, they become aware of a deluge to their other senses. They feel a chill mountain breeze and can hear the chirping of birds. They can feel the warmth of the sun on their skin. Once their vision returns fully, they can see then confirm with their eyes what all of their other senses have already told them--they are no longer in the subterranean cave beneath Castle Naerytar. Rather, they seem to be in a heavily forested mountainous area, standing about a bowshot away from a cozy and rustic looking hunting lodge. The lodge is several stories, with stone on the ground floor and timbers above. Pine branches shift and sway in a gusting, fitful wind. A squirrel chitters and then falls silent. The Teleportation Circle surrounding them has grown dull. Looking around, they do not see any sign of any people just yet. They see two ancient stones standing to either side of the party. Within sight are more standing stones.

Chantilly stretches her arms, closes her eyes, and fully enjoys the light of the sun on her skin: "Oh finally, fresh air!" - she says, as she inhales deeply, her mood already improving.
"What do you think is this nice place? It doesn't seem like a cultist hideout. Maybe we should go knock on that cute little door." - she says to the others.

"It looks nice, but really it would be the perfect hideout for the cult," Eliana says.

Henry - HP: 52\52 - Conditions: None - Active Effects: None
---------------
Henry has crossed the teleportation circle with his sword drawn, ready to fight whoever and whatever may expect the party; so when he looks at the cozy lodge in the distance, he blinks quite suprised to be welcomed by such a bucolic sight. He then nods at Eliana's word, agreeing with her assessment "Castle and these stones look way older than that cottage. Makes sense that when the Children discovered the circle, they built a hideout on the other end of it." that said, he points towards the lodge "We need rest. Before going there we should try to regain some strength - we have no one now to vouch for us, so we should be ready if they don't believe we're with them."

Chantilly looks around at the forest: "Hmm... Well, it shouldn't be too hard to find a nice place where to hide and rest. And I think I could easily find something to make a nice meal as we recover our strenght!"

"Alright, let's find a place to rest, and then we can move forward after," Eliana says. She was tired.

Chantilly enters the forest, looking for a place that seems safe enough to rest, possibly not to close to the building.

Chantilly leads the party into the dark forest. The canopy is so thick that even during broad daylight, it's fairly dim in there. Almost immediately, Chantilly's sharp senses pick up sound and movement up ahead. Something large and clumsy is stomping around in the forest nearby.

Chantilly quickly turns to the others: "Shhhh! Something's coming, let's hide!" - she whispers, before hiding in a bush and observing whatever is getting close.

Henry follows Chantilly, sword drawn and eyes peeled. When the half-kender seesm to have spotted something - the squire assumes is going to be an enemy most probably - he tries to find a tree or a bush big enough to offer him some cover, the half-elf keenly aware he's certainly not great at playing the former part of hide-and-seek.

The party tries their best to hide, helping each other if they can. After doing so, they wait a few moments and something emerges from the brush. Two trolls lumber forth, followed by three green drakes. They appear to be patrolling the forest, possibly in search of trespassers. The two trolls speak casually to each other in their own tongue as they allow the drakes to sniff around for a bit.
