Where am I?

Darkness Followed By Madness

  Even as the party’s rogue reached out to pick up the strange-looking gem, Inell knew something was about to go seriously wrong. The tiny hairs on the nape of their neck started to stand up, but before Inell could even open their mouth to cry out a warning, everything went completely and utterly pitch black and they were falling, no, wait, now tumbling down a grassy hill? This may have been Inell’s first Official Dungeon Party outside their apprenticeship, but they were still pretty sure that wasn’t a feature to be found inside most dungeons, nor were the pine trees into which they and their companions had just rolled. They seem to have finally came to a stop, with pine straw in uncomfortable places inside their robes.   At least Inell could see again, finding themselves in full daylight, although they could have done without the sight of a large orc leaning over close to them.   "I thought I saw a portal flash!" the orc exclaimed in perfectly clear Common. "You took quite a tumble, are you alright?" he asked, offering a huge hand to help Inell up from the ground. Inell saw that the orc had been joined by two other beings, a human, and a … a dwarf?!?   A dwarf traveling with an orc? What kind of madness was this?

Everyone has a story of their arrival on Patchwork, but not quite everyone will talk about it, or at least they won't talk about from whence they came.
