When you step through the portal, the smell of fire and sulfur fills your nostrils, and a bright flash of light overwhelms you as you feel yourselves being hurled through a seemingly endless void...
...a moment later, your vision returns to you, and you find yourselves in a hellish landscape.
Literally.
The sky above you is filled with black clouds and lightning, the ground below your feet is barren ashes, and the only source of illumination here are the copious amounts of lava pools littering the landscape, giving everything an ominous red glow.
As you look around, you can make out various weird structures made out of flesh, bone, blood and sinew, from towers to makeshift bridges above the aforementioned lava pools. And occassionally, giant rib bones just standing upright in the landscape for no apparent reason.
Oh yeah, and there's about two dozen corpses of nazi elves and nazi nazis strewn about the location of your arrival. Wonder what's up with that.
Either way, welcome to...
OBLIVION: MEHRUNES DAGON'S DEADLANDS

-Charles looks around the blasted wastelands with a sweeping look and sighs very loudly-
Charles: ...I'm starting to actually miss being at home. At least the greenskins don't dabble in warp sorcerery on this kind of horrible level.
-She sighs and follows, not noticing the baby griffon sneaks in through the portal, having followed everyone for..."cleanup duty", which begins nibbling at some of the dead elf corpses-

We Are Our Avatars Forever (Now on Discord by invitation, PM)Walks-on-Ashes: (@Asche) Can't say you'll get used to it. But I can say you'll learn to hate it.
(@Six) Nah, it's cold as hell out there... Even though we're so damn close to the lava. Anyways...
-To everyone-
Alright, listen up! Welcome to Dagon's Deadlands, where everything is trying to kill you; The big roots sticking straight up out of the ground are aggressive. The yellow flowers emit poisonous gasses. Be prepared to face Dremoras, Atronachs, Clanfears and Daedroths; Treat anything out there as hostile until proven otherwise.
-Even with such a pretty angelic face...Ashes can see the complete lack of respect or inspiration emanating from the only visibly non-giant elfin warrior clad in light armor that's been buckled repeatedly to not slip off her dysphorically altered slim shoulders-
Charles: I don't even know what those words mean, lizard man.

We Are Our Avatars Forever (Now on Discord by invitation, PM)Ashes: Right, in order! Dremoras are basically demon knights; Dark skin, red eyes, horns, armor similar to mine, you get the idea. Atronachs are humanoid elementals, most likely made of out of fire, frost, or electricity, in ascending order of toughness. Clannfears are small-ish lizards, with an armored head, and Daedroths are bigger lizards with the strength of a couple men.
Ashes: -nods- Pretty much. Can't really expect a friendly face in there, but who knows.
Now, when it comes to closing this gate... -points his crescent-shaped blade towards the towers in the distance-
If it's just like the Oblivion Crisis, the gate is powered by a Sigil stone, hidden somewhere in one of these towers. We take it off its pedestal, the gate closes, and we're expelled back to Nirn.
Ashes: That's the short of it, yes. Now, we undoubtedly want to close this gate, but I still doubt the elves are working with Dagon; I'm willing to bet they want a Sigil Stone for their own purposes.
-points to the dead elves-
There's no telling how many of them will be waiting for us once we take that stone and get kicked back into the cave.
-Charles glances at Deathclaw, who's just staring at them as it is currently chewing on the arm of a dead nutzi elf-
Charles: ...I can assume substantially less than what it started out as.

Charles: So I assume this is someone else's work, masquerading as him.
...Also, we weren't planning on waiting for allies? Because the witch just went in ahead of us.
