[QUOTE="Whisper72, post: 5185568, member: 17339"] Several thoughts on the portal angle: - the portal may malfunction or be 'jammed' by the authorities. either the portal fails to function, and now the PC's must find a new way to escape, or the portal sends them to a different spot then they expected. Another variant could be that the portal malfunctions in the sense that not everything gets through. Random items of the PC's get left behind, maybe even not all PC's get through or an important NPC gets left behind and the PC's must go back for a rescue... - the authorities know / learn of the portal, they come through after the PC's. Maybe there has been contact long before and a sizeable detachment of guards escorting a dimplomatic mission is in the venetian like city already in place. Even if the PC's manage to wreck the portal after escaping through it, the authorities known about the end-destination and they send assassins or a strike team after the PC's. They have to be on their guard at all times... - the portal is a 'fake'. It does not lead to read safety but to the underground shelter of some thieves guild. The portal has an added effect of stripping the PC's of all weapons and armor, the PC's now face a welcoming committee of bandits who aim to strip the PC's of all valuables and sell them as slaves...
