You're standing on a large, cobblestone plaza, overlooking miles of … interesting … not to mention varied, terrain. It's Pretty Damn Huge and could easily take a whole day to traverse. You can see a dank, overgrown swamp, wreathed with patches of fog; a leafy green woodland with flashes of colourful flowers; a jagged desert canyon shimmering in a heat haze; an icy miniature mountain range above which a snow storm is brewing; and a cluster of cute, quaint houses far, far in the distance. A river winds throughout, occasionally intersecting with the path you're supposed to follow. The path is winding, and even from here you can see that it's divided into "squares" with faintly glowing borders. The squares are sized to be proportional to the course, which is to say, they're also Big.

There's plenty of space to mingle up here, with benches to sit on and old, battered-looking vending machines you can kick if you want some soda or candy to snack on. You don't have any money, though, so … good luck.

At the northern end of the plaza is a huge inflatable arch with the word "START" written in comic sans. Nobody can move beyond this point without first rolling their die, but you can see that you've got two choices: walk down what must be at least 500 steps to reach the first square, or take the equally long but infinitely more fun bouncy inflatable slide.

...I wonder which member of the faculty dragged us on a field trip to be hunted for sport this time.

[wait you don't go to my school]

Usually the teachers save it for weekends so they don't interrupt lesson time, but non-staff members pull this sh- nonsense, any day of the week. Must be one of those if someone from outside Night Raven College is here. Who are you?

[what about getting kidnapped to alternate dimensions is not a normal high school thing]

Alternate dimensions are real pains, but there's gotta be a way out, right? Oh, I'm Epel.

[let's out a cheer, picking up some apple juice carefully from all the glass]

Yeah, it sounds like Yuu has similar circumstances to you. They're stuck in Twisted Wonderland, but they're from somewhere called Earth. It's honestly kind of surprising they're not here too, they always get wrapped up in this stuff. I bet they'd love to learn from your god/cult fighting ways.

-Wait, a whole bunch of earth's? Dagnabbit, we were having enough trouble trying to find a way back when we thought there was just one!

Whoa, multiple Yuu's...

Er, yeah, that'd be really helpful if you could. Yuu really wants to get home so the more input we have on this the better, thank you Korone.

[rolls a 5!!]

Holy shit! Um, er, ggg....

[fuck no that's wrong I know so little crocodile, we've been focusing on mammals in animal languages! But, Sebek yells a lot, he vaguely remembers the accent and some very basic phrases. Jumping back from the crocodile and with a 5 on adaptability remembers just enough to get out in crocodile:]

Hello sir, sorry if bother you.

[to korone tho it sounds like this crocodile jumped out and he started growling at it]

[korone is so fucking cool- oh shit the crocodile is coming! Epel has his magipen at the ready, pulling it out and attempting his signature spell]

Your eyes will close, your breath will still. Crimson Kiss.

[nothing happens. That crocodile is still coming at him. Epel curses and rolls to the side with a 7, so thankfully he only takes 2 points of damage but getting sideswiped still fucking hurts! He jerks his elbow down into the croc's back with a stunning 3 points of damage, all the while cursing in crocodile.

Except his crocodile friends are really old fashioned fae with delicate sensibilities taught by fae who have lived hundreds of years so what he actually says in crocodile is]

Zooterkins, ya gorram bastard!

[It's a 6 to dodge, that fucker manages to snap the tip of a finger off before Epel can fully pull back and he SCREAMS

And instead of backing away he's going to TACKLE THE CROCODILE WITH A 3 STRENGTH, Epel knows the bite strength of a crocodile is absolutely insane, but comparatively the muscles to open their jaws are weak and if you get them down you can just hold their mouths shut. So that's what he's trying to do. The only problem is the rest of the crocodile can still move.]

Stab it through the eye STAB IT NOW!

[oh thank fucking god

Let's go of the crocodile's head and just lays in the swamp where he falls, clutching his injured hand, absolutely bawling]

Take that you scaly bloody shit.
