And that's not dangerous if it does work?

...not sure. Different worlds obviously have different magic, it seems possible that some of them could have magic or things that would make it dangerous just to be there or something. Might be worth it anyway, though, depending on what the situation is like in your world.

Having a place to evacuate people to would be very valuable. But maybe teach others the magic first, just in case.

Mmhmm.

Is there anything else they might be in need of?

Weapons for fighting the Enemy. Magic matters there too.

I can't help with the actual weapon part of that - kobolds don't have metalworking at all - but I can enspell things if they can do that part. The most obvious application is weapons that teleport whoever they hit off a cliff or something - that'll work even if they're armored, I'm pretty sure - but there's probably other things, too.

That does sound astoundingly useful, if requiring of caution so we don't hit our own people. Arrowheads, maybe. Things shot through one-way portals. I expect my brothers will know their needs better than I can guess them.

I can do arrows. I can definitely do portals that you can shoot things through. For hitting your own people... reaction time might be a problem, but depending on how many fighters you have I might be able to enspell them all to be able to teleport back at will.

...I can probably do spells that bring people back automatically when they're badly hurt, too. Exactly what 'badly' should mean will take some work, but... yeah, that should definitely be possible.

That'd make a tremendous difference. Perhaps we shouldn't wait the week to speak to my brothers.

Maybe, yeah.

Lake Mithrim's between two mountain ranges, it looked like this - he sends an image.

All right, let me see...

Fifteen minutes and two failed attempts later, the viewing rock holds a portal showing the lake.

Lake. Sun in the sky. Pretty, if slapdash, barricades and walls and sprawling Elven city.

That looks right. Thank you. Can you do one that opens over there? People will stumble on it eventually...

Not from here, but yeah. I'd kind of like to have more of a plan, first, though, in case they find it quickly or notice me before I have it cast.

Right. They might attack, that's a real problem. Let's put it farther away; they might not notice for a month but you won't be in danger.

Or I can just enspell myself to come back here if anything hits me hard enough to injure me. Might be alarming but I don't think we lose much that way.

Oh, good idea, yes.

Mmhmm. She grins.

I'm more thinking, though, what am I going to say to them? I think I should warn them before I let them see you, I'm kind of thinking something like 'Hi, I'm from a different world and I have teleportation magic, I had an accident with it a couple days ago and ended up rescuing an Elda from Angband, they're still in pretty bad shape but we were talking about how my magic could be used to help here and we came up with an idea that was too good to wait any longer for me to come find you', or something like that.

How are you planning to do that? They'll react really badly to someone showing up claiming to have information on me, they'll expect a ploy of the Enemy.

Okay, that's why I'm planning it out ahead of time. The part where I wouldn't actually be asking them to do anything but listen and not attack me seems like it should help, though.

I'm not sure. The Enemy can do a lot of damage with just words, and you do want them to come and look at something, right?

I wouldn't ask them to go anywhere. I'm planning to look for a good rock to put a portal in and hang out there until they find me, and if they find me while I'm looking I'll just put a portal in a tree or something.

That might work. And if you have something to bring you back if it doesn't, that's fine.

Mmhmm. I still only get one chance at a first impression, though. If it's not a disaster I can try again, but that starts looking suspicious pretty quickly, I think.

How does 'I'm from another world and I have teleportation magic that I want to share and also important news, but you should do what you need to do to figure out if I'm safe first' sound?

I think they'll appreciate that a lot.
