The air is warm and smells of earth, bark, decaying plants and other woodland odours.  The ground slopes down away from you, as if you were looking down a large hill.A veritable army of orcs, all staring at you among the trees from their side of the portal, confronts you. One of the orcs roars a one-word command, and a dozen orcs rush towards you, weapons raised and screaming war cries.  They appear to have been expecting you.InitiativeVardrin 19Glandred 16Cressyl 16Thodan 14Jack 12Tharlock 10Chik 9Nira 7Leonara & Stalker 5Orcs 1OOC:[Sblock]There are approx 200 orcs on the other side of the portal  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> they all bear the crossed lightning bolt symbol of Thunderpeak orcs.Portal OperationAfter the command phrase is spoken it takes one round for the portal to connect to it's counterpart, during this time the back of the portal glows purple (as does it's counterpart).  Once the connection has been made the two portals are connected and it appears that the back of the portal has disappeared, the distance between the portals is reduced to zero, so travel from one portal to the other is instantaneous. (The space between the two portals has been warped or folded until they are joined)When the command phrase to close the portal is spoken the portal immediately (as of that initiative count) becomes unstable, and for one round (up to the same initiative count) anything which tries to travel thru it, has a percentage chance of making it thru or failing.If the command phrase is spoken to activate the portal, while the portal is unstable, the portal continues to remain unstable but after one round (as of the new initiative count) the portal will re-establish a <s>wormhole</s> connection. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />[/sblock]<a href="http://img143.imageshack.us/my.php?image=portal4rnd13ik.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/6330/portal4rnd13ik.th.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></a><a href="http://img208.imageshack.us/my.php?image=netherilportalroomrnd11hz.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/8641/netherilportalroomrnd11hz.th.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></a></blockquote>
