Harvestmere Rifter Arrival

WHO: New rifters & their rescuers
WHAT: People fall out of a rift and get attacked by stuff… in the desert!
WHEN: Harvestmere 10
WHERE: The Western Approach
NOTES: The arrival log is open to all. Solas was able to alert the Inquisition to the general area where the new rifters would be arriving so people could be sent to pick them up.


You were asleep--deeply or fitfully, for the last time or just resting your eyes for a moment-- and then you were not. And wherever you were was not, anymore, replaced by nothing but the sensation of falling, tumbling into endless, bottomless nothing. If this were still a dream, you would wake before you hit the ground. You can't die in a dream, they say. In some worlds.

In this world, you wake with a jolt when you hit rock or sand or wooden planks--you've been dropped into a narrow canyon, into the rocky orange sand at the floor or onto the rickety scaffolding along the steep wall. Judging by the heat, somewhere above is a bright and unforgiving sun, but view of the sky overhead is blocked by a flaring green rip in reality. There's a narrow splinter of light in the same sickly green as whatever brought you here, now glowing out of the palm of your left hand. It aches, a bone-deep pain that gnaws even through all the distractions.

The way ahead is blocked, too, by a monstrous, horned beast with too many eyes and electricity rippling down its arms: a pride demon with a very off-putting laugh. The only quick way out is up. The ladders and scaffolding and narrow bridges across the gorge have demons, too, but only smaller shades and wraiths. Your chances are better up there--you and the people you arrived with, four altogether, collectively less dangerous-looking than the demon.

Along the way, the planks are littered with debris: crustaceans, skateboards, crustaceans on skateboards, a cyvasse piece, a dagger, a set of bloody and very sharp canine teeth. And an enormous, moving, roaring tiger made of something green, translucent, slightly bouncy, and fruity smelling. The tiger has a rider, at least briefly, clad in a crinkly white suit and rounded helmet. It also has saddle bags, which are full of donuts if anyone is able to get close enough to check without getting swiped by a giant paw, claws sticking out through the ends of pink bunny slippers.

And at the top of the canyon walls, there's help--armed, armored help--already making its way down to meet you.

"You know, I think you may be right. On all counts." He hefted the strange board with wheels, as he hobbled as quickly as he could to the ladders. This wasn't going to be easy. and he eyed the big demon, then the boy. "You first. I don't want to slow you down."

Harry shakes his head. There was no way he was going to let that sort of talk pass. He didn't care about being slowed down if it meant leaving someone behind. Tyrion may be a stranger, but Harry isn't the type to look out for himself first. "I have a way to fight them," he says. He can't trust his wand completely with the state it's in, but it will do better than the skateboard. "You go first. I'll make sure you get up safely and then follow."


[ooc; I'm thinking once Tyrion starts to make his way up, that's when Harry disappears to go help Sansa? Then they meet up again at the top?]

Tyrion frowned but he nodded once, tucking the skateboard under his arm as he climbed with one arm. It was unwieldly, and it certainly did not help that he was not the best climber with his legs. However, surviving did happen to be one of his most valued qualities, so he pulled himself up, and over, heading to the next ladder, smacking another waspish creature with the board in his hands.

[Sounds good to me!]
