We noticed that the ritual to put the PCs' consciousnesses into the Obscurati members requires them to wear gold-dipped wreaths on their wrists, and if the wreaths are off for three rounds, the ritual ends and the PC is ejected. If they're not on the same plane as their body, their soul gets shunted off to Nem.
Traversing the painting-portals to see the demonstrations first-hand is impossible while wearing gold. My party just distracted the Ob tour guides long enough to slip their wreaths off, cross the threshold and slip them back on. One thing they noticed (which I had not) was that the Watchmakers' exhibit was a certain death sentence. They could not be sure that they'd have time to put the wreath back on before the scripting took over, and since the script runs for 60 seconds, they'd be dead and the body would be back in control of its original owner.
Just something to keep your eyes out for if you're running the game.
