Portal to Arkaz

[Daemona]

Before this goes any further ICly.

The portal script was broken for a while and was fixed when characters started to show up on the ship. ICly no one ever entered from Skoria Bay on to the portal island.

Long story short. The opening of the portal to Skoria Bay happened years ago. Characters from Hala stepped aboard the ship and had no way home. The island was discovered during the event and the portal established the other way. ICly you should consider that you never entered Arkaz via the portal island because it was due to a broken script

If entering the water is an objection that is IC but please do not reference entering the portal island from the ship as that was OOC.

Did the ghost ship formerly sail safely all the way to Nuvar then? As I have said before, Soleis is a timid man, and would not have come to Nuvar a third time if he had been dumped in the ocean, risking drowning, on his first and second trips. As soon as this started happening (or I became aware OOC & IC that this was happening), he stopped coming; and he's been trying to fix whatever what went wrong so that he can start coming again to visit people of whom he's grown fond.

But I get the impression that people are getting annoyed with me OOC about this issue, so I will shut up now.

Nope, only when the script was broken. The original trip dropped the Hala folks right where you see. In fact it was that way when I fist started to play. There was no portal at that point and the Maker would pull people from other planes and they would end up in the water unless you had a character who was born locally and in Sonja’s case she was pushed out of the way by her father and ended in the sea to be rescued. Even since the script has been fixed I have ended up at the island on occasion. Originally the ship was on the Nuvar module but when we split modules months ago it was moved to the Isle if Iron server along with the port. This was done to avoid crashing of the Nuvar server during portals from Hala. Not nearly as many people play that server and so the load was lower and Nuvar would not crash if there was a portal problem.

I believe the ship in Skoria Bay says something like creaks and that you are not sure you will arrive at the destination. I truthfully just ignore it. If it is a ghost ship or some creaky old wreck I cannot say as it was developed by Hala. I guess the IC view is that it only really stays in one piece at the higher planes and then cannot stay manifested on the prime planes. You would need to speak to Arkon or the Hala team to get the back story on it in reality.
