And then Phix asks:
"So, what could be done to portals to make them less vulnerable to small invisible monster spies?"
"How likely are you guys to need to be able to scry on us when you can't find us just from having met us?"
"I think being findable to help is more important than being slightly harder to find for people who probably won't even know how to find us in the first place."
"I'm inclined to agree, especially if we make whatever it is obscure and really specific. We can have certain locations warded, if that helps?"
Cam makes a whiteboard attached to an empty area of wall. "We can make Ice a to-do list."
These items appear on the whiteboard. "And I can microchip everybody once we have a design and the portals can be modified to make it worthwhile."
"There's the lady who killed you, who has to be able to guess now that you're a daeva, but I guess she's not likely actively out to get us."
"It'll take a while," says Prime, "since portals can't actually be tweaked. They're too fragile. Only destroyed and then remade. So, priority list, please?"
"...Medallion because dragon, Inferno because if somebody found it they could bring daeva, Chamomile because questionably okay mages are aware of the plane, Hex because spellbinders could be trouble and we have to be especially careful not to kill them if they show up since familiars, yours last?"
