As you eat the fortune cookie, you feel a strange tingling sensation pass over your body, your
vision blurs, and as you shake your head to clear your mind you suddenly hear a loud crash from
the front of the restaurant. You look to your companions around the table, but they are all gone.
In their place you see a different gathering. An elf with pale skin and silver hair, a gnome with a
red pointy hat, and a human dressed in shining plate mail with the holy symbol of Peliron
emblazoned across her breastplate.
Looking toward the sound you see that some sort of winged beast has burst through the doors of the restaurant. You hear it bellow, “I have come. Now, bow down before your Gargoyle King!”
The elf starts choking on his dinner, but the gnome and the human spring into action. In a flash of light, fire, and sound the creature is blown back out of the Jade Palace’s doors with a host of patrons (now all brandishing weapons) following after him.
As your vision starts to clear you look over to the elf and see that he’s still choking. One of the waitresses has started slapping him on the back and asking him “Are you okay? Are you okay?”
Then you realize it’s your back being slapped and you who are choking. Fortunately, a final slap on the back clears your throat and you’re back in the Jade Palace looking across the table at your companions who all have an odd look on their face.
