"Necessary Evil" IC

Gemini

Gemini grits his teeth in annoyance, but focuses and chants, trying to teleport 'blindly' into the building, hoping for the best..... He tries to aim for somewhere inside near the end of the warehouse opposite the main entrance.

The other Gemini, wearing the replica Heracles Armor, says "Be ready....."

Magic_Gemini is lucky, re-materializing behind some crates inside the warehouse. The air smells old and fishy and he hears something moving around. The light is very dim but he sees some shadows pass along...

Gemini

Gemini breathes a sigh of relief, but isn't ready to turn on his flashlight and potentially draw attention to himself yet. He takes a look around from where he stands, trying to get some bearings.

A half dozen shapes are moving around. At least two move with the metallic steps of drones. But some shapes are bigger and move more fluid: K'tharen!

Gemini frowns and starts chanting and gesturing again, fully aware that this is going to draw some attention to him. But he casts the spell anyway and Teleports himself out of there, back outside and this time on the roof of the warehouse. Then he chants some more to open the portal to the group, and he steps through the portal.

After emerging in front of the group, he says "There's at least a couple of drones and multiple K'tharen inside there, and they were too close for me to open a portal inside. Would've taken too long. So I've opened a portal on the roof instead. They probably heard me chanting the blasted spell, so it's unlikely we'll have a stealthy entrance now, but that plan went out the blackened window when it turned out that the whole place is probably crawling with drones and K'tharen. So if we're going to go through with this, we may as well portal over to the roof, smash our way in from up there, drop in with guns, or I guess spells and fists and lawn darts, blazing, then book it once we grab some supplies."

Ben cracks his knuckles.

"Let's do this, then. Might be best to do a little dividing. Some of us can try to hold off and distract the drones while the rest get busy shuttling supplies through to the underground. Assuming we can keep the drones busy long enough, when we're done, those of us tussling can follow through and Sorceress can snap the portal shut."

"Just point me where destruction shall be brought to!" Proclaims the greek titan, eager to claim lives of whatever stands against him.

Gemini steps back through the portal, followed by his 'brother' as he says "Follow me. You'll have to break in through the roof."

[sblock=ooc]Pocket Ultimate Power describes the Portal extra as "You open a portal or gateway between two points as a free action. The portal is 5 feet-by-5 feet in size. Anyone stepping through (a move action) is transported. The portal remains open as long as you concentrate. You can apply Progression feats to increase the size of your portal."

By my reading at least, it's two-way and Gemini can step through his own portal. He attuned himself to the area near the group first for a few minutes, then left, and once he regular-teleported up to the roof, he then switched to the Teleport (Portal) alternate power and used that to open the portal between that rooftop and the attuned location (the party's location). Then stepped through. He's still concentrating on maintaining it (concentration is normally a standard action, so it still gives him a move action to step through the portal).

The portal is open between the rooftop of the warehouse, and the ground near where the party exited the sewer system or whatever, since that's where Gemini attuned himself. Couldn't risk waiting long enough inside to attune himself to the interior of the warehouse, so he hasn't bothered with that.

I figured the incantations for Sorceress' spells would expose Gemini's position to the enemies, and he isn't willing to stand there in the dark warehouse jabbering out mumbo jumbo for several seconds while enemies close in and take pot shots at him. Now, Gemini isn't intricately familiar with the abilities of drones and K'tharen, so he isn't willing to risk his life on the off-chance that they're deaf enough and blind enough not to notice him standing there jabbering for so long. Gemini is neither that reckless nor that selfless nor that naive.[/sblock]
