Day 187, Year 544 of the Ascendancy

The dark necromancer Tenebrion has been up to some mischief again, and
this time he’s created a two-way portal for us exiles to use. Tenebrion
claims that he created the portal to show us what we could get for
trading him six teleportation stones, and also so we can get a better
understanding of the ethereal plane. Tenebrion told us he would only be
keeping the portal open for a couple days, so a large party was
gathered outside of Tenebrion’s Keep, to explore the ethereal plane.
Scouting of the portal by the J’Team revealed that the portal was
indeed two-way. We quickly came up with a plan to have J’jh run the
undine, while the rest of the party formed a tight ring around the
portal, ready to retreat, and entered the portal.

At first, the plan seemed to work, and we were
able to bring down many of the powerful undine. However, soon after,
our party began to fall apart, and within minutes our entire party was
masacred. A few exiles did manage to make it out though, and after a
series of daring chain runs, our party was rescued. After that, we
decided that we did not have the fighter power necessary to take the
plane, so we ended our expedition. The portal remains open on
Tenebrion’s Isle though, waiting for another foolish party to make an
attempt. Currently we are discussing whether having a permanent two-way
portal would be beneficial, and whether such a portal would be worth
six teleportation stones. This is going to be a difficult decision for
exiles to make.
