Ambit thoughts [Late in the intro liminal]
Hey, so, uh. I was here like a year ago or something. Some of you might remember me, name's Neeshka, with the horns and the tail and black gryphon. He's back, too, by the way, and kind of hard to miss.
But I wasn't in a dungeon or anything, I just kind of... went off and did my own thing. I was kind of thinking about that, because of something the Fool said when I got back, and something Thorne said a few days ago, and, uh. I kind of wanted to toss it out there for other people to gnaw on because I'm out of thoughts to think about it.
So I was 'out of ambit', right? That's what the Fool called it. But he said that maybe it was all in my head. Like the word he used was "yes" when I asked him if it was real or if it was in my head. So he was saying, I think, that it was both somehow? Only I have stuff in my hammerspace from the places I'd been, and Monkey is definitely bigger than he was when I left. And Thorne and I were talking about, you know, liminal goo and how we're kind of like little Trumps because making liminal rooms is like making a liminal space only in miniature, and I know that fits in somehow, but I don't think I can figure out how it fits.
So I'm tossing that out there. And you guys can maybe figure out how it fits, if it does.
Oh, and don't ask me to talk about where I was when I was gone. I kind of don't remember most of it.

[The portal snaps shut - it's not one of the longer lasting ones anyhow, and it's no great trick to cancel it early.]
No adventuring today.
The next step is where it starts to get complicated. You have to weave the sense of other spaces together with the twist of thought that allows you to apply Liminal tricks to alternate spaces - like dungeons - and use that to reach for a different aspect of Liminal Space than the one connected to the world of the Jaunt. It's a little like picking a lock blindfolded.

[That's what she's gathering from that, anyway, looking thoughtful. Monkey squawks at finding his path blocked by a wall, now, and looks over his shoulder at Sabetha accusingly. No fair, tricking him!]

[That to Monkey, and sounding more than a little amused. To Neeshka, she tips her head in a slight nod.]
A little like that. I'm not certain if how you envision it is actually critical - just the part where you reach beyond where you would typically be able to move.
