Day Four, afternoon, inside the residence of Herr Borne
The Steward looks slightly non-plussed.
"I don't know. I wasn't attacked ... um, yes attacked until I was some way in. I don't really remember much of my escape. I couldn't tell you if they ... it ... whatever it was followed me back to the portal.
"The portal itself is actually behind the door," the Steward adds. "The door itself is just to keep it hidden. You can open the door if you wish."
Doing so reveals a portal behind the door itself. The portal structure is constructed of some form of pale stone and is circular, although the door in front of it is a standard shape. Behind the portal is a wall, the rear wall of the building, meaning that to pass through the portal one has to walk straight at the brick wall visible behind it.
[sblock=Those who have experienced the Netherworld]To all intentional purposes, portals appear to be just an open door, or arch or whatever. You can see whatever is on the other side right through them. If you walk around to the other side, you could see where you were just standing. However, if you push your arm through the portal, it will disappear as it passes through the plane of the door. There is no sensation when passing through the plane of the door from one side to the other.[/sblock]
