Is there any reason we can't open a portal to some brain worms and flood the shop? I voted against it but yakity saxing a portal to the infinite crabberson breeding grounds would be hilarious right now.

Well, we do have the skull of the dead cleric in Mr. Lich's storage closet. Let's have it reanimated and put some bat wings on it or whatever amd have it dive bomb the enemy singing horribly off key showtunes. Freak people the gently caress out. Then use that as a distraction to cover for the portal to the Brain Sea Slug dimension opening up.

Are you looking at my octobutt? ”What?” Sarga cursed inwardly. Why was it always the stupid looking ones who saw through illusions. Think quick. ”Oh, you’ve noticed. Let us just say I am dealing with some side effects of interplaner travel. I’m seeking treatment, but I have a way to go.” ”Side effects?” the warrior asked. ”Lets just say, when you travel through the abyss, the abyss can travel back with you. Magic has a tendency to warp things a little. It’s nothing to worry about.” ”It looks like you have tentacles….” the warrior wasn’t sold, Sarga could see this. But then the wizard jumped in. ”Happens all the time my dear friend, why, I had a third ear after a battle with a cursed mutant.” ”Oh, he bit you?” Sarga replied, forcing a friendly tone into her voice. ”Yes. I ended up having surgery to fix it. The car ended up looking like a lightning bolt, look!” he lifted up his hood to show it. ”Oh. Okay.” The warrior wasn’t completely convinced, but he was mollified. ”So, you want me to breach the block on planer travel and teleport you to this other realm. Are you sure, you don’t know what’s on the other side.” ”Oh, but we do. It’s some monster pretending to be a god. We should deal with it easily.” ”Okay, I can do it, for a fee of two thousand gold. Playable up front, incase you are mistaken in your abilities, of course.” ”Pay the woman Sir Allister.” the mage said, and the warrior grumpily paid her the money. ”okay,come into my lab.” the followed into the back room, the beavers had the real owner of the shop tied up in the back, and they had quickly redressed it with a teleportation circle. Their work was good, and it looked like it had been here for years. The three heroes stood in the middle and Sarga raised her hands. ”And off you go!” We pulled that one back! And now we get to teleport the heroes to A - Our cells! B - Asherahs realm (with him waiting.) C - Some horrible location. D - Under the sea above our base. E - Somewhere else. quote:Mana = 90/450

Send the wizards into the careful prepared magic-resistant holding spells we definitely have. Send Sir Alistair several thousand feet into the air directly above whoever we're currently most annoyed at. e: we put the cells in raugh's room.

ABE The first one gets sent to Asherah's realm. Into the middle of a dozen crossbowmen. Under no circumstance is this hero to ever be anywhere within line of sight of Asherah, he might be carrying god slaying equipment. The second gets dropped into the volcano(or preferably, into a gas pocket deep inside the magma chamber). The last one will be teleported just a few meters to the next room over, into a cage. He will be immediately subdued and converted/killed.

These dudes are clearly trying to get there because they're equipped to deal with Asherah, we probably shouldn't put them there for any kind of theatrics on the off chance they get their mission complete on their way to dying. If our cells are adequately inescapable, drop them there. If not, lava.

They can have a wizard. I'm sure Raugh and some beavers would love someone to talk, she loves valiant knights. E: I mean, 'Getting visited by knights armed and prepared for something other than a dragon' is literally her MO and favourite thing in the whole world.

Clarification: Raugh's MO and favourite thing in the world is to spend long, long hours talking to valiant knights who come knocking with poorly thought out equipment choices. I'm sure the Fae have similar interests.

If we make it teleportation instean of a portal we should be just fine. They won't, but that's just a happy accident.

Depending on how you rig the portal you either send the planet rocketing off into space on its very own fusion rocket or you basically split the planet like a coconut.

I figure the heat almost instantly scrubs out the portal markings so it only lasts a split second. But I do like the 'planetary orion platform' idea.

If ships use a portal dropped into the sun to make nuclear exhaust for thrust, how does the sun not shrivel up and die, or do some kind of equalization between both sides of the portal?

If ships use a portal dropped into the sun to make nuclear exhaust for thrust, how does the sun not shrivel up and die, or do some kind of equalization between both sides of the portal? Without having read the book: Your thrust aperture, for not a planet at any rate, is measured in meters, perhaps dozens of meters, in two dimensions. The star is measured in hundreds of millions of meters, in three dimensions. This limits how much star you can use up and how rapidly the star can try to dump itself through the portal (assuming it doesn't shatter or expand the portal on its own, which admittedly isn't all that safe an assumption because it's a star). Assuming you manage to get the portals working and don't make a habit of putting the input right in the core you can run a great many ships off of it for a great while. And unless you've figured out high-acceleration and not pancaking your crew at the same time, you won't be putting your portal inputs anywhere near the core.
