[QUOTE="Arkhandus, post: 5656926, member: 13966"] Gemini steps back through the portal, followed by his 'brother' as he says [COLOR="Silver"]"Follow me. You'll have to break in through the roof."[/COLOR] [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] [/QUOTE]
