The Lazy RPG Podcast - D&D and RPG News and GM Prep from Sly Flourish
The Red Portal Part 1 โ€“ Dragon Empire Prep Session 12

They tried to find secret entrances, but were unable to do so because there really isn't any other secret entrances into the ziggurat. Normally, I'd love to have a secret entrance, but there really wasn't a good opportunity to do so. They made it down to this first hall. They defeated a wisp, but then found out that the wisp was like a sister of the researchers of Thoth Hermes.

I think we are down to let's see who's not here. Cal is not here. Gaudenzia is not here. And I think all of the other five characters are. A couple players are playing remote and then three players are playing in person. So we've got that. And we can start off by thinking and putting our heads around the characters themselves. So Ammavan is a rogue. What kind of rogue, what rogue thing?

So I think Ammavan might be aware of the value of a red portal connection in the Empire, in the deeper Empire. One of the things I like to do... There's a lot of different things you can do when you are considering the characters. You can think about their abilities and magic items that they have and other things like that.

You can also kind of think about their context, the character's context in the story. And that's kind of what we're doing here. Mateo, Mateo aware, recognizes the ability to make duplicate red portal keys. So the Red Portal is not particularly useful for the money train if only the characters can use it.

But Mateo, who is a mechanist, which is kind of like an artificer, can look at the puzzle box and probably determine that they can make sort of, you know, limited use keys that they could then give to the other groups that they want to use the Red Portal to be able to bypass stuff. So I'm going to open that up.

I'll probably have to be ready to drop some limitations on it because it seems like it's too powerful otherwise. One other factor is that this red portal can actually open up to two other locations. So there's three. I think once they do it, they will sort of have a triangle of three different locations, and they'll probably have to clear out all three of them.
