A richly appointed sitting room in an inn of no small reputation sits in the north-eastern corner of the stone structure. The deep rose color paint on the plaster smoothed walls are decorated with fine paintings in oils and polished silver standlamps that provide a warm, pleasantly scented light to the comfortable looking chairs grouped around a massive stone fireplace; currently filled with a riot of flowering plants that add to he luxury of the spacious common area.<br/><br/>Along two walls are a series of doors leading to individual sleeping chambers and a corridor that leads back down to the lower levels of the fine hostel you find yourselves in. On the outer walls are two framed glass doors; the diamond shaped panes opened to the cool breezes off of the bay; a balcony curls around the corner beyond.<br/><br/>On a table in a corner sits an excellent repast of foods both known and unformiliar with bottles of excellent wines and liquors. All in all, it is a wonderful place to find oneself and companions for a day of relaxation and leasure... except for the shadow no one sees. ;)<br/><br/>Welcome to the third attempt of The Portal Between Worlds. This is the OOC thread, a place to enjoy yourself, discuss and chatter and just have fun.<br/><br/>Your first task, upon completion of characters, will be to devise a group background; an event with a little detail, inwhich everyone participated in. Your humble DM will be happy to help out as things move, and the adventure will be added in the next post... so, be creative and have fun with it!
