Jump into the portal, beat the hell out of the first thing I see.
You leap into the portal, and see nothing, surprisingly. Ominous nothing... You are standing in front of an arch that apparently just held the portal you came through. You are facing a bridge leading to an island in a pond. The island has a gazebo on it. Behind you, through the arch, there is a long and winding track leading through majestic mountains. As you look further beyond the island, you see that this pond/island combo is at the top of a cliff. There are cherry trees in bloom all around you.
Ax stood in front of the portal, his arm crossed, as he thought about it. Eh... can't say I like the idea of running up on Kaethaul's home plane when he's not expecting me. Dad's kind of an asshole. I guess everyone else has already got to their portals, though. There's really no getting out of it. He sighed, looked around, then jumped through the portal.
You walk through the portal, and turn around to see an exact duplicate of yourself slam it shut. Guess there's no turning back now. You are standing by a sheer cliff that rises higher than you can see. It appears to surround the bowl of lava that you are standing on a bridge over. The bridge ends at this ominous flat cliff, that when you look closer appears to have a portal structure carved into it. The carvings glow, and a man in a suit with grey skin and two short horns steps through the portal that just opened in the wall. He says, "Excuse me," and brushes by you, walking down to the other end of the bridge. Where there is a city hanging above the lava. This must be the Earldom of the Hanging, the city of the Chain Demons, who spend their lives slaving away at large chain restaurants and huge megacorporations. Thankfully, not where your dad is from. So you won't be bumping into him. The city is held up by an unknown force embedded in the base of the floating island. That's probably where the Stone is.
"Ah! 'bout t'iem fo' dis! go trough da' Po'al!"
You say goodbye to the elemental and go through the portal. You are now floating in a pool of water that's a lot shallower than you would expect, since the water plane has no surface. You swim up, and find yourself in what appears to be the hold of some kind of submarine. Through a nearby porthole, you can see a whole lot of empty water. There are unmarked crates around you, and ladders going both down and up. You hear the normal drone of an engine, but no noises of any people. That's odd... Normally there would be a lot of noise on a ship like this...
Er ... Sorry about that. I need The Hobbit. It's to save the universe or something. I'm not quite sure anymore.
Torir, sensing that he will depart soon, grabs a light snack.
"No problem. The Hobbit is right over here, in our autobiography section. What edition were you looking for?" "
I was actually looking for that one Elven paladin's edition." "Ah! That's in our historic books section. Right over here." He leads you to some shelves with locked glass over them, and unlocks a shelf up high. You walk across the shelves and grab the book. The books near it start glowing, and levitate off the shelves to form a portal in the air. They all appear to be holy books, interestingly enough. The portal opens, and you see a few clouds and a glowing fortress.
Hmm... What to eat... (3) Might as well just have a hunk of bread. Can't command armies of zombies if you're too full!
See about getting more normal Cannonballs for Fredismo. Its Portal time.
(4) Who knew that a wizard would have cannonballs in his study? You give those you find to Fred. Now, to the portal! Wait, does Fred count as a person? You hold on to him to make sure. You and Fred are standing in a walled garden, outside a high tower. The top of the tower appears to be glowing with an unearthly light. That's where you'll want to go, probably. There are two exits from the garden, to the left and right, both going around the tower. There are some interesting topiary statues around you, and several beds full of magical herbs. And no twisted abominations. what kind of wizard does this guy think he is? Oh, right. A
good wizard. Your Chaotic Neutral sensibilities are offended by the altruism.
Enter portal. Shwoo!
To Mechanus! You leap into the portal. The first thing you notice is the sound of grinding gears. The second thing you notice is the fact that you appear to be standing on a small island. On a large gear. With other large gears nearby. You see a glow up and to the direction you have decided will be north, on the bottom of a gear with a mountain on it. It looks like you're going to have to do some pretty funky gear-crossing to get up there. The gear you're on now intersects with two others to the "east" and "west". And now north and south. And now back to east and west, but switched places. The gear you are on is spinning. Spinning at about 1RPM, but still pretty fast, considering it's about a quarter mile across. One of the gears has a forest on it, and the other has what looks like a small city. You see no lifeforms or golems. Anywhere.

Has no goals of his own besides survival, goes around helping people with various things for lack of a better purpose. Will do anything asked of him unless he has a reason not to (if it conflicts with an existing goal or his basic morality). Lawful Good (as in lawful as the opposite of chaotic). Extremely logical and unemotional. Dislikes entropic behavior. Is good with machines (clockwork and a bit of early steam power, I guess).
When he does talk, it sounds something like the above paragraph.

Profession: Paladin.
Background: His people believe themselves to be the only true guardians of the material plane; the best way to help the mortal inhabitants of said plane is by not touching anything. Obviously this is what The Creator had in mind, and any who meddle in the plane, and therefore blaspheme The Creator, are to be punished severely.
After three decades of military service (doing nothing), he has been sent out as a sort of test to determine the extent of the planer distortion, fix it if possible, find the perpetrators, deliver justice, then report back.
