[QUOTE="c0wfunk, post: 7583006, member: 6989857"] So I went with this, and in fact we had a pretty good scene, my bbeg convinced them to help him open the portal. Once open, the party got antsy and a fight broke out wherein they defeated the bad guy but the portal remained open. Our hexblade, eager to meet his patron, dove into the portal enthusiastically while the rest of the party looked on with a “uhhh nope” and there we left it. One roll came out of the scene and it was on whether the cleric, onlooking skeptically, saw through the doppelgänger’s act, and she did not. Nevertheless she remained skeptical. I never did have to roll persuasion or use mass suggestion or kidnap the players and yet the portal is open and now I have to figure how to get the warlock back or the party in ;) It feels like with 3/4 not wanting to go I should honor that, give the warlock a quick scene with his patron -they also leveled up to 5 so I may do some training or challenge with him - then get him back to the material plane. Rather than somehow forcing the rest of the party into the portal they made it clear they did not want to enter. They’re all creeped out by the warlock enough that they aren’t going to go just to help him. Thanks for the tips, this thread was really helpful in my navigation of this scene. [/QUOTE]
