>> I am currently running a fantasy game and have had the party of delvers find an underground circular room that gives a lovely panoramic view of the world outside above ground, just beyond this informational illusion is a wall with corridors leading off at cardinal points.
>> What one sneaky delver is currently seeing in the panorama from a hidden vantage point is a Lich pointing an amulet into the room from outside allowing his minions to enter the room to head to the barracks.
>> This amulet only works one way, allowing the lich to point the way for his minions to go ahead of him to ensure his safety.
>> What one of the players wants to do is use apportation from inside the room to snatch the amulet from the Lich who is outside.
>> Technically, the Lich is actually about 1,000 yards higher and a good 2 miles further north.  From the delvers point of view, the Lich is about 7 yards away.
>> Q1. Would apportation work the wrong way through a one way portal.
>> Q2. What range penalties should I be using.
