surely it's not hard to build a door to another realm of existence?

Who: The Entire Grove
What: Portal Shenanigans
When: Throughout the entire month and beyond if needed?
Where: The Grove
Warnings: portal crimes?? possible snake attacks. possible snack attacks.

Clive has never actually made a portal to some demi-realm before, so he has no idea where to start. Except he guesses if it's going to be a door, he can craft a doorframe? It's... well, it sure is! And it's right in the middle of the Grove the best he can, so everyone can access it who needs to access it. It just needs a door or a portal or whatever, he doesn't know.

He does know that he's not a carpenter, and that the benefits of having a stone hand is you don't feel it when you inevitably knock your borrowed hammer into said hand. But he does his best to get it started so those with the experience for these things have some sort of framework for which to build on.

And other than that, he's mostly on patrol with Torgal for any snakes that may be trying to sneak in to interrupt things.

Welcome to a Mingle, Investigation, Joint Build-a-Thon? This will run for however long it needs to run for until everyone either blows themselves up, or we succeed! Collab with your fellow nerds, watch others, sabotage.

"I can work with any material, it's only a matter of having the right tools." Cutting stone takes more strength, while metal requires heat, but one isn't inherently more difficult than the other. Craft is flexible, after all.

"Perfect!"

Ford snatches up his journal, flipping to one of the pages already ear-marked for portal-related notes.

"What sort of tools would you need to work with copper?"

She raises her eyebrows, intrigued.

"The same tools as anyone else would use. What would I be making? Not bricks, I imagine."

Same tools, she says so... probably a heat source and a crucible of some sort. Easy enough.

"If we can find enough material for it, I'd like make the the ritual circle entirely out of copper. But barring that, embedding some runes directly into the stone doorway would be beneficial, I imagine."

She hums thoughtfully. To work it into stone she would need to carve into the stone, then melt wire into the space. The full circle might actually be easier, if only because it would be all the same material.

"I'll have to do some research. I don't have much experience with metalworking. Do you think Stanley's powers might be of use?"
