[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 9259456, member: 11"] If I am understanding this correctly, each PC now has two versions of themselves, so finding doubles to replace the two who may die makes sense to me, but I am confused by the order of events. So if we have four PCs, (let's call them A1, B1, C1, & D1), all four go back in time a week to before they originally left Waterdeep. PCs A1 & B1 go back through the portal to the original timeline. PCs C1 & D2 follow their younger selves (let's call them A2, B2, C2, D2) to the island. Now you said that C1 & D1 meet up again with A1 & B1, but my question is, what happened to A2, B2, C2, and D2? Did they go through the portal becoming Team 1 in the process? It makes more sense if C1 & D2 end up with A2 and B2 somehow, and if the latter two die then A1 & B1 could be found as prisoners since they were the ones tackling things on their own for. . . how long? See, I am also confused about the amount of time it takes to get to the island, because it makes it seem like A1 & B1 along with Team 2 instantaneously get there from your description. In other words, does Team 2 and C1 and D1 arrive at the island at the same time as A1 and B2 do through the portal, or do they [I]leave[/I] from Waterdeep after a Ten-Day and thus A1 and B2 are on the island by themselves for the amount of time it takes to travel there (in addition to the ten-day distance already between them)?
