"Scrying it seems fine, so...either Dead Zone's cleared up or we found a loop hole," Avis replied with a shrug. "And sure, you can nap. But we've gotta have the radio or TV on or something. Gotta disguise the chant."

But, whatever their decision, Avis knew what she had to do. It was simple. She had to do exactly what she'd done to the room. Like string on a need, she'd tie Threads to the arrow's of her will and let them fly. Sink them deep into the creaking timbers of the house. Deep in the moldy carpet. Through the couch and plasterboard, plunged into the stove and linoleum, the porcelain idol and the bathtub. Like she'd done with the motel room, she'd make it as close to her mind as her Home.

Then, once the fetters were secure, Avis opened up her mind. Brought the House to the Room, and tore a rift between them, opening a Portal upon the wall.

3 success on New Threads

3 successes to open a Portal to the House, paradox 1 :C

Once in the motel room again (sorry) Avis will spend 3.5 hours casting New Threads on the Banisher House. Then she casts Portal with prolonged duration (cause Space 5), -2 Mana (one to reduce paradox) and will take 1 bashing from Paradox containment.

After getting back to the motel July did as Avis asked and turned the TV on. Star could adjust the volume if it became a problem for his nap. "I'll get us some snacks." Instead of sitting around July quickly drove over to the nearest gas station and bought back some sodas, chips and beef jerky for the three of them to munch on. He wasn't sure how long they'd be waiting in the room for the ritual to be completed.

As Avis chanted July sat back in a chair and watched the TV passively eating jerkys and drinking a soda. He hadn't gotten any beer, which was unusual for him. He didn't want to deaden his senses for the coming search. He also didn't want to drink in front of Avis. Instead he tried to enjoy the stagnant, calm moment they were in, for any moment in the house could liven up quickly.

Everything back at the Hotel is just as the group has left it. There's a strung-out junkie at the mid 90s ice-machine but other than that, the doors are closed. Keeping out the outside world as much as whatever is happening within the rooms that line the out-doors corredors.

If only they knew that Space and Location are illusions limited and enforced by maps and thoughts of distance.

The Adamant Will of the woman weaves a door, to revealing the illusion of space and distance as a lie. But something goes wrong, the Imago takes on a mind of its own like the sparks of a wire arcing dangerously ready to snap like a snake that wants to bite.

Paradox Rolls Must be rolled before the mage rolls the spell noted via TimeStamps. Furthermore, you must make any Paradox Mitigation declarations within the dice roll Action Lines. As such, Avis does not have the option of containing it via backlash and the Portal is declared as a gone into Havoc. Avis must roll her Wisdom to determine what happens to the spell.

3 successes on the Havoc Roll

After hours of chanting, hours of staring not at a wall but at the image painstakingly woven by her Will, Avis fell quiet for several seconds, weaving another, faster spell. A spell she should have taken greater care to cast, she realized, as it was ripped from her.

"Fucking shit," the Warlock swore, jerking up from the seat she'd taken on her heels. "Star, July, quick! The Portal's full of oil!"

Only by the strength of Avis' wisdom is the Portal not inverted. Instead of connecting distances the hotel room and the Drug House are not severed irrevocably. That is the very-good. The Portal, still appears and opens up a doorway between locations. Distance only defined by the mind and perception. This is, perhaps, the very good thing. However, the portal opens a view into a darkened cellar with a single lonely light shining like a tiny flame on a vfar wall.

Where, however, the Portal decided to open, however, is the question.

With the Wis Roll Success, the Spell is unaltered but the location has been changed per Havoc pg 268.

"Whaaaaaaa-!"

A bounce up and a too-quick turn cartwheeled the angel over the side of a bed in a splay of skinny legs and whipped mop.

"Dang, Gina, what happened." Gopher up. Now stand up. That was a legit Yell, not just ~~the usual~~ random profanity. Holy Portals, Space Woman.

"Uh. Is that where we're going?"

You can lean, right? For a better look? Without falling in.

"No, dispel the fucker!" Avis called back, panic lacing her voice.

For a moment July was unsure. Paradox had taken hold, at least that's what July took from Avis' reaction. He wondered briefly if maybe this new location may have a clue to what they wanted. Fate did that sometimes, took a mistake and turned it into gold. Before he could even spend time wondering though Avis' reaction grew stronger and July's hands were on his guns. Fear and panic laced her voice and July was going to be prepared for whatever may come through the portal she opened.

"Do we even know where it opened?"

Spaces intermingle and mix...

With a Successful Perception Roll recognize the following:

...with sharp senses of smell pick up dank, musty scents wafting into the motel room.
