Tal is in the process of unseating his pack when both he and Marduke glance behind them to see where Arweil is going -- and find out that coming would be more accurate: he's running straight towards you.Arweil is still at least a hundred feet from you, and he's reaching into his belt pouch with one hand. His attention seems completely focused on the portal.OOC: Xen, does the fact that Arweil isn't running away change Tal's mind about sticking his head through the portal? (This seemed like a good case to pause the action while asking for clarification.)glincaelin, I answered your queston about rolling dice over the OOC thread. I made this one: Knowledge (the planes) 26 ([16]+10). Here's the skinny, for Marduke only: [spoiler]The portal is either very old, or damaged in some way -- it's manifesting partly underground, which also means it probably hasn't been used in ages. The milky translucence and the darts of energy along the edges suggest a malfunction, and it might have been activated randomly by some sort of magical surge. You've heard of that happening, but never actually seen it before -- and it's likely that the surge is happening on the other side. Without the aid of a spell, you can't tell any of its properties.[/spoiler]</blockquote>
