Is there anywhere specific you want to look or a method to try and determine where the goods may have been transported?

The potion is in your hand (tentacle) as you cross the barrier, but not when you get to the other side. You return and report the news.

Oh! I got another idea! I ask for a potion that does something obvious, like make me start glowing, down it, and pass through the portal.

"Perhaps you have surmised that I am a better shapeshifter than I have this far let on... but this could be interesting. Care to do that again with the first portal Halcyone?"

And with that, Vassarious shapeshifts into a sword.

I carry Vassarious into through the other portal too (the portal that moves weapons)

Vassarious vanishes from Halcyone's hand as she walks through the portal.

Vassarious arrives in a space with a glowing floor. The floor is the same size and shape as the portal Halcyone walked through. By the light of the glow you can see you're in a rather large chest, full of various items. You see Arlon's staff, Haley's sword and some alchemical flasks, Halcyone's guns, and the potion that vanished.

You also see some sort gem-studded silver Holy emblem and a staff with a large crystal on the end of it.


I'm assuming that either the sword can see, or you turned into an air elemental or something to inspect what was going on.

So the objects are resting on the portal without passing back through?

As an air elemental, can Vassarious open or leave the chest?

Vassarious seeps out of the unlocked chest into the room where everyone else is standing around wondering where their comrade could have went to.

Vagarious returns to their previous humanoid form and opens the chest.

However did we miss that, lol.

Shall we explore the path of no magic? I'm a little curious on how that's going to turn out...

I stop V before they open the chest. "Let's avoid opening chests without making sure it's safe first. Was there anything unusual inside?"

I assume Haley and Arlon could figure out whether that holy emblem has some effect.
