result:

The space open in the alcove is slowly shrinking. After staring for a while and taking some measurements, he can guess that the party has maybe ten minutes' time in which to make cross through. After that, it will be too late. The gap will be too small to pass, if it hasn't closed entirely.
That's assuming that the chair crammed in there does not prevent the portal--as in the magical operation that creates and sustains the connection between two distant points--from sealing/severing/going inactive. Maybe it can. But more likely, based on Klokulf's knowledge and his observations, the chair will be destroyed, ejected on one side of the other, or just become stuck in a reshaped stone wall.

Now... about this Darkbringer, does it ring any bells?

Can Raen tell where the portal leads to with his knowledge planes and\or spellcraft?

[ewancummins]

He's not sure about the Darkbringer.

As far as the portal destination...

Where is the city beyond the portal? Raen doesn't know. He could go through and just ask somebody or look around for a sign or posted proclamation or other clues.
If the city beyond the portal is not of the world in which Raen has found himself, it must be located on some world close to this one in certain respects, given that Katrin could understand the language and things didn't seem too strange.

The concept of a world beyond the Mists, much less several, has been a theory only to Raen until recently. He has studied the supposed elemental planes and other such things, but he hadn't read credible accounts of anyone actually going to such places, only calling beings from them through powerful magic.


It is quite possible, even probable, that the portal destination belongs to this world, though. It may well be a city some distance from Harrowdale. It is probably not short range, or else why bother with constructing what must have been a very difficult and expensive (not only in material terms) portal?

[alhoon]

Well, the thought of "path ways" that lead from "one realm of this world" to "another realm of this world" far away, certainly is foreign to Raen. He comes from a world that occasionally the "portal" (mists) comes and grabs you.

The portal might seem like a controlled 'mistway' to him.

Take as long as you like (real-time) to decide about the portal, guys. RP or metagame.

But it may help keep things organized if each of you would please let me know which of these options best fits your plans as of now:

1 Go through for a quick jaunt, hastening to return before the portal closes (this will give you less than ten minutes on the other side)

2 Go through for a longer trip

3 remain on the Halvan's Keep/Harrowdale end, even if the rest of the party goes through

4 further research, take it slow, not going through this opportunity

5 other: please elaborate

Klokulf would like to examine the other side to see if it can be opened from the destination. After, he would like to gather some more rotten flesh to make the portal prepared for re-opening.

zombi meeeeeattsssesss

[alhoon]

Raen would go to the other side to examine the portal, quickly, as long as at least someone else comes with. He also wants to see if the portal opens from the other side.

Nope, but that 19 was an excellent roll even without a bonus from help.
