Okay, if there's a big climb-the-mountain fest going on, I have a very important question, before we split the party and possibly end up scattered across a country again.

How many folks can do remote portals, and can someone explain the trick to me? Last thing we need's another Bando where there's only two people who can do the thing and we need to regroup in a hurry.

I can do them.

[claudiometer]

How's it work? I can do a lot of the work by way of teleporting, but that's just me, not 'oh crap we need sudden transport.'

And given the way Tower's last jaunt went, I think 'oh crap we need sudden transport' is likely enough to do the prep work now.

[seestheworld]

The way it was explained to me was that you can't just create a portal blindly - you have to either have a visual, or someone you can use as a focal point.

[claudiometer]

Makes sense. God only knows where you might end up otherwise.

[seestheworld]

Yeah - and even "portal to wherever this person is" has its risks if you don't know what the conditions are like where they are.

[claudiometer]

I can imagine.

[seestheworld]

At least the network makes it easier to get a good look at wherever you're portalling people to, provided someone's actually there to give you visuals.

[claudiometer]

This is a very true thing.

Thanks. I think that'll help me get a handle on 'em. The more people can get us to wherever shit starts getting real the better.

[seestheworld]

Or away from it, depending on what it is.

[claudiometer]

Or that.

Going off Bando, though, none of us like leaving people in the lurch if we can help it.

[seestheworld]

I figured something like that would be a last resort.

[claudiometer]

One would hope, yeah.

[seestheworld]

Yeah.

With that in mind, is there somewhere we can talk in person? I could use some advice on something.

Sure thing. My room's always open in Liminal, these days - if the pavilion thingy's still there, the door should be there. Go ahead in if you beat me to it, just watch out for Raidou's cat. I don't think she's very happy that he's not on hand.

Thanks - I'll see you there.
