[@shylarah] Wasn't D&D per say. A Homebrew system. we just say Dm does all rolls.

[quote]A question, by the way.  Those portals aren't always open, right?[/quote]

No, It's like the weather. They open and close depending on unknown reasons, some stay open all the time. Others don't.

[quote]Ooh, an idea~  [@TemplarKnight07], to avoid needing magic to get there, he could have gone to one of the most famous magical sites.  Or possibly several, on a trip across Europe.  And he gets to Stonehedge, and -- it's open!  Maybe the rulers just left, or at least it wasn't too many hours before, or maybe it's the right time of day.  The witching hour might work (think that's midnight?)  The reason he didn't go sooner could be because he's had to save to afford the trip, plus he wasn't old enough to travel overseas alone.  ...Might need to be a little older for that to work, actually, or perhaps he lives in England but didn't feel ready for a trip until recently.  It is a big step, and best to be fully prepared if you encounter unfriendly creatures.[/quote]

Is rolling eyes. Go to the Loch Ness, and drown.

Trust me. Those who 'drown' don't drown. There's a gate there that is open all the time and Nessy is essentially the Ferry Man. However, she's a bit dim.
