Through the Dragon Gate - With the Greater Heat Comes The Rains

You go forward through the eerie portal of this desolate fortress. You're immediately met by a disconcerting world. Lightning strikes close to you and then again and again. The sky roars as an eternal thunder storm dominates this realm. The light plays tricks on your eyes as shadows from a new landscape make your imagination go wild. Rain and more rain pelts your body.
Due to these dreadful surroundings you can't escape the feeling of dread that your life is in danger. This world is peaceful beyond a doubt, but with great risks come great rewards.
In the far-off distance you smell traces of creatures nobody could've ever imagined. Even though they seem good natured, you keep your distance just to be safe. There are traces of chunky creatures, huge creatures, and what you think might be lean creatures of some sort.
This world seems to offer plenty to replenish most supplies as you set upon a world beyond your imagination. But, with a good amount of courage, some scouting experience, and a little creative thinking, you know you can fulfill this opportunity with everything you have.
