[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 9195192, member: 6801845"] If you know where exactly you are going or the location does not prevent teleportation. There are many reasons the PCs have to go through the gauntlet. The goal is on a hidden plane that can only be accessed via a specific portal*. They don't know where the McGuffin is and the only way to find it is through exploration. They don't know who they're really after, the face for the BBEG is a fake. The goal is to solve a mystery and they have to find clues and bread crumbs. There are multiple goals, the McGuffin was broken into pieces and all the pieces need to be retrieved. *[I]Another aspect people seem to ignore about plane shift is the material component "a forked, metal rod worth at least 250 gp, attuned to a particular plane of existence." How easy it is to get that attuned metal rod is up to the DM.[/I] [/QUOTE]
