Okay, to clarify things: the scrying pool isn't an actual one or two-way portal that can be used at will. Just like it let you guys use your magic ability in unusual ways, it supercharges the devil's teleport ability so he can essentially<em> plane shift</em>from and to here.<br/><br/>Rafael can take the girls one by one, but he'd prefer to take all of them together, as plane shift lets him take 8 people.<br/><br/>In hindsight Aleria couldn't have summoned this thing by herself. Maybe an imp at most, but this thing is clearly way out of her league. So how was it possible that she did manage to call it here anyway? Perhaps something's going on that even she doesn't know about? Dun-dun-duuhn!? Just something for Miroque to contemplate. ;)
