Dear Dana

There are 32 possible portals in DB2ACK. For example all pentagrams
that lead to New Treleon are one portal (lets call it 0) and all
pentagrams that lead to the Centaur Frontier are another portal (lets
call it 1). If you cast OPEN PORTAL on a pentagram for portal 0, all
pentagrams for portal 0 become activated. However, except in
playtesting, you never see three pentagrams for portal 0 all next to
each other. As soon as you move, the OPEN PORTAL spell goes away.
If you cast OPEN GATEWAY on a pentagram for portal 0, the pentagram
stays activated until you use it. If you pass any pentagram for
portal 0 while the spell is still in effect, it is an active
pentagram. The pentagrams can be on different maps even, as long as
the original OPEN GATEWAY spell is not used. Since most pentagrams
before the Centaur Frontier lead to New Treleon, portal 0, casting
OPEN GATEWAY opens all pentagrams in a dungeon, and previous
dungeons, until one is used by the party. If you cast OPEN GATEWAY
in Crypt 3 and walked back to Sewer 1, you would find the pentagrams
in Sewer 1 were activated.

Sincerely yours,
NEFTF
