Carting all of our equipment up and out of the bridge hatch proved to be a nightmare. 'We could call for help.'

Fortunately, Rac answered before I had to. 'We don't know what other effects their warding magic will have on a portal, and we're clamped, so Dauntless won't be going anywhere without having chunks of metal ripped out of the hull.'

'Whoah!' Rac yelled, floating out of his seat.
'Damn, I'm sorry. That was meant for the musical instruments, not you.' I shut off the spell, this time casting it upon each separate piece of equipment before guiding them out the bridge access door.
