    "Joe!" Shouts the head goblin. "You might best turn away boss."

    Joe begins to make grunting noises.

    Ferah

    Unsure of what exactly was going on, Ferah turned around, watching for any more agents.

    "We're ready to go boss. We've got enough C4 to blow our way straight to the surface."

    By this time Chris has finished with the agents and is sniffing the air for more targets... then he suddenly desperatly clutches his nose and buckles over.

    "OH... GOD! What the hell!?"

    "Uh..." Chris looks up, looking around, no recognition shows on his face as he looks about. "I think... it's right..."

    Chris presses his hand against a wall. Then, his eyes still red, pulls back and strikes the surface as hard as he can.

    The surface ripples like a pond, as though it were made of liquid, but does not give.

    "Well that's... weird..."

    Then, you hear a set of footprints coming down the hall from where you came.

    Turning around, you're just in time to see the familiar form of Agent Erickson round a corner. For a moment you're glad, glad to see Slip again, then the Agent raises his weapon, a much larger one than he had before, and points it at your group. With a strange rippling static noise a burst of energy explodes from the tip of the gun and detonates in the face of a goblin, who burns away in the tiny white burst to ash.

    "RUN BOSS RUUUUN!!!"

    Seeing the effect the gun had on the unlucky goblin, Ferah agrees with the surviving goblins, and picks a likely direction to run in.

    "Dunno Boss!" answers the head goblin in a blunt manner.

    You round a corner, and come face to face with Agent Marcus. The Agent who took YOUR Marcus away to the brainwashing chamber.

    "Oh look! There it is!" Says Chris.

    Agent Marcus reveals another weapon of the same make as Erickson.

    "CLEAAAARR!" Shouts the head goblin and Joe flings a wad of the C4 onto the roof, and ignites the detonator.

    There is no explosion, instead, the force seems to cause the ripples effect seen before when Chris struck the wall, but this time, it's like waves.

    "Hurry Boss! We gotta look for a seam to escape through!"

    Marcus's double is dead. The lead goblin scoops up his weapon and turns to face Erickson. With pull of the trigger, the air before it detonates, and the projectile meets an unlikely object as the walls seem to peel away, revealing blackness.

    "THAT!" Shouts the Goblin, and all three remaining goblins leap through.

    (Assuming our dear Marcus isn't readily visible) Ferah turns to Chris.
    "We need to hurry and find Marcus, we have no way of knowing how long that seam is going to stay open!"


    "Slip, if you do not want to be vaporized by a pack of trigger-happy goblins, change your appearance, the real Erickson got loose. The agent that looked like Marcus should work, he is not likely to turn up any time soon."

    ((Also, when did Amrien show up? You mean Erickson?))

    The world distorts more, and the door to the brainwashing room seems to widen, and within you see nothing. It is empty.

    "Let's GOOO!" Screams the head goblin, latching on to your leg and dragging you through the seam.

    You tumble through blackness.. then land with a hard thump in a clearing near the walmart. There's a commotion in the distance, but somehow, beside you lies a familiar figurine.

    "We did our part boss. It's your turn." says the lead goblin as you notice a fourth goblin step out from behind a tree, a smirk on his face.

    Ferah stoops to pick up the figurine.
    "We need to get to where the figurine deposited us in this world, that is apparently the only place where it will work."

    Assuming the figurine doesn't activate on the word work, Ferah thinks back, trying to remember where in this town they had appeared, and starts moving towards that location.

    As Ferah finishes speaking, a curious smell seems to emanate from her for a few moments, and her body and equipment suddenly changes colors, blending in with her surroundings.

    "I was kinda planning on going berzerk before hand."

    With a nod, Chris rockets out of the bushes and charges forward, waving and yelling random things in attempts to gain the attention of the agents. It seems to work as all at once an army of suits charge towards him, and he begins to run away, towards the wal-mart.

    The Portal opens. The goblins jump through. Chris turns around and begins running towards the portal, signaling you to go through yourself.

    Then he gets hit by a car.

    But he's okay. He's still waving.

    Ooooh Now he's getting tazered. Don't worry, he's still waving.

    Chris flies through, riding the momentum of a third car, and then tumbles to the ground, landing quietly on the soft grass.

    Standing up, the five of you find yourself standing in an immense expanse of open grass land. The sky is beautiful, the setting sun turning it gorgeous shades of orange and purple.

    A long ways in the distance, at least two of you catch a familiar sight...

    Somehow, despite all that has happened, it's still welcoming.

    Ferah takes in the familiar sights for a moment, then turns to her companions.
    "Welcome to Alamora."

    She then thinks hard, trying to remember everyone on their side that had a sliver. Now that she was back on this world, maybe she could contact someone and figure out what happened in her absence.
    "Is anyone out there? This is Ferah. I have been stuck on another world for a time, and was unable to communicate. The rest of my group is missing, and I appear to be near The Academy. I managed to pick up a human from the other world who seems to possess an eerie amount of knowledge regarding the situation with Amrien, which is presented as some kind of game in their world. How should I proceed?"

    Recruits, reply to the situation as is.

    You have all been for whatever reason, fighting the Maacain, and Amrien's minions, and finally found yourselves holed up in the academy.

    You all should have slivers, so you hear Ptwecht-Kwe's (Ferah's) telepathic broadcast.

    React accordingly.

    It may be hard to see at first but if anyone had been looking at the sunset a small incoherency would be seen. Off to the right of the glare from the sun stood a strange plant like shape.

    At its feet was what looked to be spilled water, it did not move yet had a feminine figure seeming garbed in a what looked to be a grayish hide, it looked to be hide armor but the next moment it’d change to clothing an simple clothing not armor to be sure, with what looked like purple petals for hair and the typical green plant color.

    Suddenly the head turned towards the group as it seemed a rather large light crossbow was at her side. As a leopard stirred beside her seeming ready. She made no threatening movements merely stood observing remaining cautious. Perhaps none had seen her yet.

    She normally would have hidden and learned of them but in this open field and as the sun set she had little chance to hide. She watched the people a random entrance they had come through.

    The message was sent, now it was time to wait for a reply. Dismissing her Chameleon effect, she takes another, longer look around. They should move, an open field was no place to stay when you have no clue of the general situation.
    "We should head for the Academy, we might be able to get an idea of what has happened while on your world."
    With that, Ferah begins to move towards the Academy, keeping an eye on a strange outcropping of some kind she had noticed. She wasn't sure what it was, but it seemed rather out of place in the middle of this field.

    "Right." says Chris. Who begins to follow you. The goblins look around somewhat perplexedly, then all shrug in unison and begin to follow as well.

    So, things weren't going as they were in the game, perhaps that means that the other parts wouldn't be the same either, that Amrien wouldn't utterly destroy most of those sent to kill him...
