293 - Gateway to Apartment 3A

Artifact: Gateway to Apartment 3A

Power: Significant.

Description: A battered, four-panel external doorway with a corroded brass-plated doorknocker, peeled white paint, a mailslot and a peephole. Unattached and in a state of disrepair it was plainly better left on the scrap heap it was salvaged from.

Effect: The gateway maintains a connection to the renovated apartment building from which it was discarded, the result of its previous resident - a high powered pilgrim avatar - habitually using it for jaunts.

Looking through the peephole from either side gives an appropriate view into or out of the apartment. If someone were to hold open the mailslot at the right time they could also steal the current occupant's mail.

If the doorway is mounted in a frame and a pilgrim avatar attempts to use it to connect two spaces the output instead deposits anyone passing through into apartment 3A. The two premed college students currently living there are likely to be bemused by the intrusion.
