Imari Orvir, a half-elf in the mental inpatient ward of St. Caslow's Hospital, had planned on reading her fun facts book until she fell asleep.
Thad, a tiefling and administrative assistant to the head of the complaints dept. at the docks, Blavius Anando, was planning to try to make it to the Freida Gelsey concert after his shift ended.
Rika Arabella, a half-elf and award-winning musician, was planning to play in aforementioned Freida Gelsey concert.
Quo Rhizel, a dragonborn and artificer, was looking forward to a quiet night inside, and maybe rethinking his career choices, as the glowsitck sales today were few and far between.
Spickle Durf Bigteef and Komi Confidant, a goblin, and human, respectively, were planning to stay in a local AirDnD before resuming their scientific research traveling.
Arden Elliott was planning to only abduct one person that night.
A citywide power outage took everyone by surprise. Even St. Caslow's Hospital on Reddon Lane was affected in part, with their field repelling outside magic being tampered with, leaving them running on minimum power. After about 20 minutes, the half-elf Imari was taken by surpirise by her best friend, the dragonborn Elliott, apperaring at her window, and opening what she thought was just a glass pane fixed into the wall.
“No time to explain!" he told her. "Grab whatever you need. We need to go, right now.”
Spickle and Komi, having finished their travels for the night, are on Reddon Lane, searching their pockets for the code they need to access their Airdnd.
After 25 minutes and the power hasn’t been restored, the Freida Gelsey concert has been canceled. Rika gathers her things and heads toward her Airdnd, which, incidentally, is in the same building as Spickle and Komi's.
Elliott and Imari successfully make it out into the street, and begin heading out of town, unaware that their path down Reddon Lane is getting a little crowded.
Thad is still trying to make it to the concert in time, unaware that the power outage has reached the venue. He meets his neighbor Rhizel who is closing up his modest artificery stand, and they walk together and turn onto Reddon Lane---unknowingly blocking Elliott and Imari in.
Elliott, realizing they are trapped, loses his cool completely, and instead of trying to walk by casually, launches an attack by throwing spell-filled vials at the ground, which completely miss the range of his aim. Naturally, the others retaliate, causing both Elliott and Imari to drop to zero hit points. Elliott was taken down in a single srike.
Imari has an interesting experience while unconscious.
Elliott is revived with smelling salts, and in close range of the others, attempts a second time to smash a second vial. This time, he is successful, and everything goes black.

7:15 am
All awaken to the sound of a loud zipper, feel the sensation of falling, and then inflating. They come to their senses in a dog-pile with each other, and stand to see that they're in a medieval themed room. Out the second-floor window, there are colorful ipe trees as far as the eye can see, and a bustling village with a large gnome population below.
Elliott apologizes for overreacting, and tells them that they're in Boarwood Village on the island of Terun. The group is unaware of how he was able to transport them, and transport them so quickly---it's only been about ten hours, and the train ride would have taken nearly a day.
Elliott further explains that he only meant to bring Imari here, telling her that he had moved here from his farm in Galena because he met someone named Denali who was going to save the world from their shady government, and he informed the entire group that they are now in The Fold---which is not a cult---and apologized for not asking their permission before their induction.
He’s a genius. He basically saved my life, he taught me everything I know. Like, Imari, we always knew the government was UP TO SOMETHING, RIGHT???? Well he thinks so too, no, he KNOWS so!! This guy is literally a GENIUS, Imari, I've never met anyone like him. Well, except you."
Still having trouble being on the group's good side, he invited them to the local Mallorie's Mystical Meals for breakfast.
The newly inducted members of The Fold were still more than apprehensive, and insisted on meeting Denali right away. Elliott told them that they would go there as soon as he finished running his errands in the village.
Privately at the table, Thad was contacted via Sending by Lucian Marius, who asked him why he wasn't at work that day. When Thad explained briefly what happened and where they were, Marius told him to stay where he is.
