>Examine gap using mirror.

>You have a closer look at the mirror. It is a silver hand mirror covered in intricate but hardy filigree. With this, you can open a gap to an unfamiliar place safely, and eliminates the possibility of opening a gap somewhere that would be dangerous.

Huh, I thought the mirror would let us see what's on the other side of a gap.

I believe we got something like a C-clamp which Purvis insists on calling vise grips.

>You make your way back, warning Maribel about the peculiar air pressure within the field of fronds. Leaving the temple is easy enough, and the most time consuming part of the trip. From there, it is easy enough to open a gap to the island that leads to the forest, and from there, another into the field of fronds.
>Stepping through that gap, you enter the field and glance around. Nothing seems to have changed; the fronds wave to and fro, the warm air presses down upon you, and the void silently yawns overhead. Maribel opens and closes her mouth, working her jaw around to try and dispel the ringing from her ears. After she comments on the bleakness, it's easy enough to gap to the doorway leading to the Crystal Palace.
>Upon arriving, Maribel approaches the doorway, frowning. "This isn't a proper gap, is it?" she says. "They don't stay open like this normally, right?"

>"Was that something you've also stopped worrying about, too?" Maribel says, as she glances where the fronds have been sliced off by the results of the palace shattering.
>Heading inside, you find the shattered outer portions of the crystal palace still float in the darkness, and the distant shimmers of light are still there. Looking around the edge of the doorframe, the main mass of the palace is still there.
>"I can't see anything," Maribel says, as she follows you inside. "You're still here, right?"
