Quincunx

I’m Nathan. I’m a paramedic. I woke up in a world that looks a lot like an old-school computer game, except minus most of the monsters. My new friends can only think of one way to get me home, but it means visiting five special sites in turn. I really didn’t expect the first one to give me a non-human form I can switch to and some neat healing abilities I can only use in that form, but, cliche as it is, it got weirder from there. Also, turns out that I’m not the first newcomer, and there are at least two other people from back home here with really powerful magic. For some reason they don’t want me to get through the entire Quincunx. My friends are great, and I love aspects of this world and the acceptance of off-the-rails diversity. I wish I could stay but I miss my family and my job is who I am. How do I help my friends with the poison from my world and get home?

Let’s just lean into it and thump the bad guys!
