Jennifer walked out of the Civic Fest Hall wondering where the companions she had recently met went off to. Well no matter she could easily find them again she was good in urban areas in fact her sense of direction was outstanding and had gotten her out of more than one jam. This city however may be the strangest thing she could possibly encounter even if she had lived a thousand lifetimes on her home world serving the empire.
Glancing around the cityscape she was amazed as Cat creatures, Demonic entities, Angels, humans, and other unexplainable creatures walked side by side. She always stood within any city of the empire because of her hair and incredibly clear and smooth skin. But here she didn’t draw a second glance which was certainly nice for a change. But how was she going to get home with all the wonders of this city she had almost forgotten.
Staring above her she let out a small scream as she noticed the city above her and crashed into something. Stumbling back a step she slipped in the mud falling flat to her back.
Jennifer was almost trampled by the masses as they pushed out of some nearly ruined building. She had barely reached her feet when she was knocked to the ground once again by a man carrying a large chair “Get out of the way you worthless Berk!” Glaring at the large man he realized there were 4 of them carrying some important looking figure on a Sedan Chair. Wiping the mud off from her face she continued to walk slowly down the street and then more briskly as the crowd began to grow and shove her.
Visiting the provisional capitals of the empire she was used to large cities but this was getting crazy never had she been literally dragged down the street by a mass of people. As the mob moved a few more blocks down the street it continued to increase at every intersection people seemed be heading towards a square of some sort. Suddenly the mob in front of her stopped cold while those behind her continued to press forward, she was being crushed! She couldn’t breath and suddenly the world began to spin and everything went black.

When She awoke she found herself in a small room it seemed very old and rundown but everything was spotless and cleaned very carefully. She bolted upward remembering that she had passed out in the street. The world seemed to tilt as she fell back to the bed cracking her skull against the headboard so hard her vision blurred for a moment. As she slowly regained her senses she realized she was naked except for a thin blanket and that was everything in the room except for the bed, a pillow, and her. Feeling a bump where she had just hit her head she realized there was second bigger one as well. Getting up more slowly this time she looked under the bed and discovered her clothing and personal belongings all in a neat pile minus a few coins.
As Jennifer began to get dressed she heard a knock at the door “you doing alright in their young lady” that sounded like an older man. Saw ya in a spat of trouble back on the street and thought you could use a helping hand. You had quite a bump on the head and a few scratches but the Lady Waller got you all cleaned up nice. May I come in?”
“Sure” she answered quickly before realizing she was still half naked. The man came walking in “Name’s jack what’s yo” stopping in mid sentence he backed out of the room and close the door. “I’m sorry missy I should have waited, though you are a fine lass to be certain but the fault is all mine”.
“Where the heck am I?” She almost screamed out before steadying her voice a little “I am sorry I just got into town and kind of having a bad day so far.”
“That’s alright we actually get a great number of new visitors to the City of Doors that are in a situation similar to yours. It’s a city of portals, gateways and roads that travel to every corner of the multiverse, thousands or worlds, planes, heavens, hells, and so many more interesting places. We run a guild of sorts here that employs Bashers from all over the known planes and enjoy adventuring among them to pass the time. We actually have just recently relocated here since the cursed faction racked was curtailed. But anyway once you are ready we’ll get you a little grub and see what we can do for you”
“Thanks I am really Grateful for your help what was the name of your group again? She asked “Oh we are the Plane walker’s guild the perfect place to find someone who can teach you the portals and ropes without sealing the shirt off your back before marooning you on the 10th layer of the Abyss!”
(OOC: Anyone could come in here easily if you want to associate with the Guild as a member or otherwise or just post something about your character and we can find a way plot wise to get them together.)
