  • @Memoryhead @kandra127 You two arrived *just* in time. Get cracking on the first challenge!
    I’m accepting 3 more tourists, and then the bus has left permanently.
  • ok! thanks!

    As a chinchilla, Markus was drawn to the mountains of Shiv. Even though it was hot he decided to watch some wizards do their thing.

    After a near death experience with the heat in Shiv and a slight necromancy lesson in Urborg, Markus finished his day by watching the Avens fly around in Benalia.

    Cool! I was making a trip plan for Shane in my head, and his plan for Dominaria was to go check out the Forest of Yavimaya! So here goes!

    Shane got off the Planar Bus and looked around. He had been dropped off in the Forest of Yavimaya. He set off, looking for anything cool. A few hours later, he got hungry, and began eating a taco, which he had stashed in his bag for just this sort of occasion. Inevitably, as happens with all tacos, some of the filling fell on the ground. Suddenly, what looked like a large tree lumbered out from the other trees. It looked at the taco filling, and looked at Shane. Shane stayed very still, as not to give the elemental any reason to attack him. The elemental began walking towards him, and he backed away slowly. The elemental managed to get his wooden fingers around the taco filling on the ground, gave Shane what was probably supposed to be a menacing stare, and went on it's way. Shane put away his taco.

    As Shane continued on his way, he came across a dinosaur. An allosaurus. Shane began to speak with the beast. "Hello. My name is Shane. Can you show me around a bit?" The allosaurus seemed decidedly not happy about the fact that Shane could talk to him. "Ugh. I'm tired of stupid Beast-Speakers trying to get me to tell Yavimaya's secrets or whatever. I'm pretty sure that you know more about that than me." Shane was confused. "What are Beast-Speakers? I'm from a different plane of existence, and I just have the ability to talk to dinosaurs." "Oh thank Multani! Beast-Speakers are elves who can talk to beasts. They're really annoying. Anyways, you seem cool. I can show you around."

    Long story short: The allosaurus showed Shane around, and they saw all kind of things. At one point, the Mother of All Wurms herself slithered past. Luckily, she didn't see them, or they would be wurm food by now.

    Question: Is it against the planar tourism rules to take an adolescent allosaurus with me?
  • @Aggroman15

    I would think the rules were similar to stuff like state parks (Where you can't even take sticks or rocks) but I don't know what type of stuff we take. (Spooky dino)

    Rocket flies into the air, straight toward Tolaria, in the hopes of finding more artificers or constructs.

    He flies towards a castle, but bounces off of an arcane shield, falling towards a shed. Inside, he finds a wizened dwarf attaching a ridiculous amount of devices onto a lump of metal. The lump begins to move and run away. It doesn't get far, though, before the dwarf stops it with a large net.

    Feeling satisfied, Rocket flies back.
  • @Aggroman15 As long as your allosaurus is properly trained, it’s fine.

    I’m just sitting here, chilling on a Benalian castle. Dominaria is a nice plane...
  • @TezzeretofCarmot21 So basically tell it not to eat anyone or crap on the bus floor, and it's fine. Cool.
  • @TezzeretofCarmot21 Where can I get the best history lessons? I've got to learn some stuff
  • @pjbear2005 Check out Tolaria West. I got a really good lecture there on the history of goblins on Dominaria. It even included a lesson in how to communicate with them!
  • watch out for the forcefield

  • When we go to Innistrad I want to find and steal Nahiri's sword because it's cool but also because she's a meanie.

    A history lesson!
  • I have learned history too much!
    My ears are dead
  • You offend me with your claim of too much history, that is impossible! (I like history)
  • If you’re finished with this challenge, here’s what I recommend:
    1. Enjoy a beautiful Benalian sunset. Buy some cheap glaze armor too - it’s a great souvenir!
    2. Learn all sorts of magic at Tolaria West. Seriously, they teach everything from metallurgy to necromancy.
    3. Buy something on the black market in Urborg. You can buy the guns that all the characters had in Portal 2 - powerful weapons!
    4. Walk around Shiv. You can meet Keldons and Ghitu nomads, and the scenery is to die for.
    5. Meet some Llanowar Elves. The most famous creature in the Multiverse is waiting for you... along with some super beautiful forest lands.

    Rocket is going to carefully walk through the front door, watching out for force fields, and attend a lecture on advaned artifice. he wants to better understand how he was made.
  • I already got my souvenir, and made sure to tell him not to eat anyone.
  • the allosaurus
  • I died for the scenery.
  • Can someone reanimate me?
  • @TezzeretofCarmot21

    In Shiv Markus would literally die for the scenery, chinchillas have no way to cool their body down. He barely made it out of there alive the first time
