Theran - Not from me. If everyone else is ready, i assume the painting is still in that room? Theran looks in the direction of the room.

Not receiving any further queries, Sir Sepi headed to the other room gesturing for everyone to follow. Once inside the room the others notice it is basically barren aside from the far wall. On the wall they see a rather large painting. In the painting they see a scene that is both fantastical and impossible. They see a tundric landscape surrounding a rather large mountain. The mountain is most noticeable for the fact that wrapped helicly around the outside of the mountain going from just below the top all the way to the ground are three different large swathes of disparate landscapes. One is a forest, one is a river, and the last is a lava flow. Between the stripes are tall grass lands. The only break they could see was towards the bottom a small point where all they can see at present is a dark smudge.
Sir Sepi: "As far as I know, as soon as you approach you will be drawn inside. I wish you good luck, and good haste."
He stepped back to the entrance as he made room for the group to make their way inside.
Illu boldly stepped froward with head held high. As he approached, he said, "I will send up a flare once inside. Assuming this thing does what he says it does, you should see it out here. That will show you I made in safely." When he got close enough, he was drawn inside. It looked as though the paint itself began to form around him and then was drawn inside almost instantly. Once inside, those outside could see a tiny spot of paint that looked like him. Then they saw a spot of pure white light where he was. That was probably the flare he spoke of.
Theran takes note of where the dark smudge is in relation to Illu's speck, then strides up to the painting.

Upon entering, everybody sees the image from the painting in full effect. The painting could only barely do it justice. It was a truly magnificent view. Around them they see a thick forest with a single path towards the mountain. The area was very bright, not only from Illu's lightss but also from the light given off by the mountain itself.
Theran- Well, the exit, and the girls smock, are both at the glowing mountain, so I would guess we head there.

The feel of the bark is both real and wrong. After closer inspection Carter gets the confusing feeling that what he is feeling is more of the idea of bark than anything. The longer he examines it the more he feels a texture of canvas under the bark.
Illu was visibly excited. Once everyone was inside, he dismissed his beacon and started heading towards the mountain. The temperature in this tundric area caused him to shiver a bit.
When everyone was following, they were making good time towards the mountain. The observant in the group would notice there were other sets of prints in the snow. And from the look of the clouds, another storm would be on its way soon.
Theran looks disgusted at the snow, shivering under his apron. Theran - I'll take paint rain over this snow any day.

As the group discussed the various benefits of paint snow versus regular snow, they advanced closer to the mountain. Surprisingly, the temperature wasn't as unbearable as they would have thought. They could feel the warmth from the lava flows as the drew closer. Once they were a few hundred feet from the mountain, they could see that the smudge they had seen earlier was actually a large door. It had some inscriptions on it, but they couldn't make them out from this distance. Then they heard sounds of animals off in the distance to their left, and the sounds were getting louder. They couldn't yet see anything over there.
Carter picked up his pace a little, trying to get closer to the door as quickly as possible. Inscriptions probably meant puzzles or passwords, he'd do better with that than whatever beasts were making that noise.
Illu pulled out his Justice Lamp and activated the light from it pointing at the door.
As everyone got close enough to read the writing on the door with the help of the light, two things happened simultaneously. First they read the words "If you seek to enter, be prepared to stay. For if you can't fix what is wrong, your lives shall be claimed." Second they saw a humanoid shaped snow storm cresting the horizon making its way towards the group. They heard another howl from the direction of the snow beast.
He summons...some adorably small elephants. They are about knee high. They seem like they still want to be ferocious though. It seems as though magic within this place doesn't work as normal.
Illu says, "Ha, no I didn't think we would be able leave either. Let's head in!" He moves closer to the door and tries to open it. "Ah, it's too heavy, come on, help me!" He is pushing on the door.
Cassie - “I think you should summon the big ones, Papa.”
Yack – “Magic. Different here.”
**Realization dawns upon the child’s face as she watches Yack command one adorbaphant to charge the snow-wind person and the other to help push the door (Yack and Adjack help push the door as well.)**
Theran helps with the door. Theran- All at the same time! One, two, three PUSH!

Carter- Which means we have to pass through three distinct biomes with no preparation between. I'm sure that will be interesting.

He made an effort to get closer to the center of the group as they hurried towards the door. He glanced with a haunted look towards the animal sounds.

When Theran got to two Sly was beside him and added his meager strength to the concerted effort to open the door.
