Plot & Logistics: Transporting a certain artifact...

[Mark CMG]

I wonder if anyone would adjudicate that (since a failed attempt to move the sphere can result in the sphere moving ten feet toward the person making the attempt) once the hole is reopened in a new location the person who opened the hole needs to make a successful attempt? If the sphere is attuned to a static location based on its relation to the core of a planet (given a turning world seemingly does not require the sphere to cut swaths of land as it circumnavigates the globe), does its relationship to that static location become upset if moved via a portable hole? Does the Sphere sense it has been moved? Maybe no matter how far it has been moved, once the portable hole is opened the sphere snaps back to its original location. Then it could go straight through a chunk of the planet with blinding speed as per the post by ThirdWizard.

I threw a similar dilemma at my epic group a while back, but rather than work out a solution, they touched the sphere with a rod of cancellation...

I imagine it has something to do with having to touch the Sphere to teleport it.

Hope they took the "reach spell" metamagic feat. I wonder what the concentration check is to cast a spell while having a portion of your body disintigrated.

*reads spell describtion* D'OH!


...well, let's see how long it takes them to come up with the Portable Hole idea
