You exit the portal in an allyway in a late Renaissance/Early Industrial Revolution like city.

Doom Slayer
The Slayer did the closest thing he was willing to manage to a polite social interaction; namely, not holding a weapon at the ready in his hands as he stepped into the city to have a look around. 5 in Intelligence to have a look around.

You both go wandering through the city to the surprise and wonder of many... many onlookers.

(OOC: Do my stones in Intelligence to examine our surroundings help? Do I see any thing noteworthy? What kind of society is it? How do people look like? ...Mostly, I'm trying to figure out what kind of world I'm in.)

(It's a city filled with mostly humans. Standard fantasy fare as far as looks go... It's a very big city so nothing of note yet.)

(OOC: Fantasy, huh? ...Interesting. So then I guess Doomguy probably looks like some knight/warrior in a strange sort of green full plate armor. That's kind of funny. I need to get more melee weapons, lol. Thanks.)
Doom Slayer
The Slayer used VEGA to access medieval databases - the closest thing he could think of to the world he was now in - for information on where he could potentially go to purchase property in these lands. PA 5 in AI plus 5 from VEGA Link, +5 from the Fortress to access historical databases about the medieval era when it comes to purchasing land/properties back then, as there's a chance something similar is how it works here.
Essentially trying to figure out whom I should speak to or where I should go to get myself a home in or around the city.

You find some relevant information as a figure clad in a gold cloak and red robes with a spiky horned mask comes towards you.
"It seems my alternate self was right to inform me of you coming here." The figure said. "Welcome Slayer... My name is Balthasar Gelt, and you are in the Imperial City of Altdorf in the Empire of Man... I have come to help educate you on some of the nuances of this world before any tragedies as a result of some... misunderstandings happen here." The figure in Gold says.

"Hmmmrrh", he grunted lowly, glancing at his rabbit companion, before looking back at the man in gold, and nodding.
"My owner gratefully accepts your offer", VEGA stated.

"Excellent... Follow me." He said leading you to a massive series of buildings.
"These are the Colleges of Magic... as the current Patriarch, I have been tasked with overseeing the magical education of this Empire. It was during one such experiement I was told of your arrival by my self from another world." He said taking off his mask once inside his office.
revealing a large chunk of his flesh and even the scalera of one eye, and the iris of the other were all literal gold. "Balthasar Gelt was the name I took immigrating to this empire, but I was born under a different name. I won't tell you what it is yet, but it seems that it's fairly important in trans-dimensional lore. However that's neither here nor there."
"I'll be honest... You arrived in our world in trying times. The Empire is surrounded by enemies from all sides. Many threats are ready to crush us... We need all the help we can get, and that is where I think you and I can come to a deal. I can arrange you a home, a safe place within Imperial lands for yourself and your companion to live in relative confort, and in turn you provide what aid you can in beating back our enemies. If not directly in battle than perhaps in technology or tactics?" He asked. "Is this starting to sound fair?"

"...Rip... and tear", the Slayer responded, nodding.
"My owner is more than willing to fight for humankind against its enemies. He is, however, a bit more reluctant to share his technology, for he has seen what it can do in the wrong hands. He does not mind sharing tactics, however, although in my personal, honest opinion, his tactics are fairly straightforward. Usually, he is sent in, and the enemy gets killed. Of course, there may be variables", VEGA explained.

"Understood. I won't force the issue then." He said. "I'll start with the most pressing threat at the moment. Right now we are trying to retake the former Province of Slyvania from the Vampire Counts and their undead slaves." He said pointing to a spot on a map.

"Mmmhh", the Slayer mumbled.
"Should we meet up with your forces first? Will they know we are their allies?" VEGA asked.

"Perhaps." He said pulling out a piece of what looked like a paper-thin sheet of gold. "Take this. It's a letter of recomendation from myself. The General will know you can be trusted."

The Slayer grabbed the sheet, just nodding in response.
"Anything else we need to know before we go?" VEGA asked. "Where can we find you?"

"I will remain here in the college for now doing more research." He said putting his mask back on.
