As you jump into the pit, you stumble on the uneven surface, and hear it crunch under your feet. The ground around the portal is completely blanketed in ancient bones, and their dust leaves a bitter taste in your mouth as they crumble under your feet. The last thing many of you think as you leap through the portal is that this trip might not have been such a good idea...
Inside the portal, though disembodied, you get the sensation of traveling at ever-increasing speeds, till finally you're catapulted through the other side, and tumble onto the ground.
As you roll to your feet, the bad news is... you notice that your magic and items are still not functioning. You see the portal behind you, but its surface on this side is dull, like murky water. As expected, it looks like a one-way trip. What was nothing but a pile of rubble in the "future" now towers over you as a massive domed structure. There are dead and dying bodies of many types of creatures literally covering the floor, and you can hear screams and see various creatures running around swatting themselves and waving their arms as if they've gone completely mad.
Then just as you notice a loud humming sound around you, you see the even worse news... and the source of the "craziness" of those unfortunate souls around you, as swarms of hellish looking wasps head toward you and being stinging you all over, and trying to climb into every exposed orifice...
[spoiler]You're in a domed room 100 feet across and 50 feet high. There are hellwasp swarms everywhere, and you're still in a dead magic zone. You all take
3d6=12 damage and need to make two DC 18 Fort saves (one vs. poison, the other nausea). There are several other still living creatures here, mostly humanoids with a couple of mounts, but they're all looking pretty busy trying to beat the wasps off of them. There are also
what looks like at least 100 hundreds or maybe even thousands of corpses... (edit: decided that 100 wasn't nearly enough
) What do you do? [/spoiler]
