Foot in the Void; When certain stars align, you can open a temporary hole into the void, through which something will be dragged out. This hole can only appear within unobstructed line of sight and no more than 2 feet away from you.
You come to in a Smoldering Crater, glowing with green and unnatural energy, a ring around the crater lies dead and tainted, though plant life seems to flourish further out, within your sight are several Species of Weed and grass, Dotted with small bushes and saplings, further along to your right, you see the makings of a forest, and to your left, more grasslands, to your front, it slowly dips off into the aforementioned forest, and behind you you see a small trail, though whether made by man or beast you cannot say.
It is night time, and the full moon lies above you and far to the left.
You feel weak, harmed in a deep and substantial sense. This place is wrong, in almost every way you can imagine it. The scent, a scent, it seems so strange, detecting any scents at all, the air moves uneasily around you, and you twist in disgust.

You slide out of the building, slipping on your side in the process, scuffing it up and run away from the flames that not moments ago you yourself created, a wizard in the town had apparently been at least adequately prepared for you, and managed to cast a powerful polymorph spell on you before being refined into a fine ash.
People are screaming left and right, mothers, Children, farmers and others let loose their baleful screech at the roaring fire that blazes over their homes, once or twice you are nearly Trodden over by panicking townspeople, and are forcefully shoved aside as they Grab water in buckets to foolishly try to douse your unending flames, the cinders you estimate will continue to burn long after their grandchildren die of old age.
The panic flowing through your veins is unnatural, not only your livelihood, but possibly your very life could be in danger in a much more immediate fashion than simply dealing with the logistics of being turned into a pig, a common farm animal.

You are forced to take a break, and think back to the Tales you have heard of this legendary place, a building with every imaginable book held within.
You also heard tales of it's guardians, Wizards and Scholars alike who sought knowledge from this tomb of tombs, and died within it's walls, becoming chained by the ancient magic within this place, and forced to serve it mindlessly.

Such a place holds within your Deepest desire, to sate your hunger for knowledge once and for all. all you need to do now is find a way to open the utterly massive doors that lead within the inner sanctum...
