The pieces of the device float in midair, connected by beams of energy. Through the space between the beams, you can see into a hallway, the walls of which are made of the same weird carved stone as the device itself. From this fact (and if not this fact, this exposition) you conclude that the device is some kind of portal, leading to the underground parts of El Vibrato island.

Step through the portal (1)

A primary stat of 365 is suggested. If your main stat isn't high enough, you'll see the following message:

The mysteries of El Vibrato Island are wondrous and multitudinous, but they're also murderous and merciless. Which leaves you a bit unsure whether you want to go in there.

(It is recommended that you have at least 365 <mainstat> to adventure here.)

Non-combat Adventures

Machinations

---

• After N uses:

The pieces of the El Vibrato portal lay strewn on the ground. Looks like the thing has run out of juice.

There is a round depression in the base of the portal -- it looks about the same size as those strange stone spheres from the waters surrounding El Vibrato Island.

---

Stick a sphere in it.

• If the portal is already charged:

You insert the sphere into the base of the portal. There is a crackle of energy as it sinks into the device and vanishes. The beams surrounding the portal glow more brightly.

• If the portal was deactivated:

You insert the sphere into the base of the portal. The pieces of the device rise from the ground and energy arcs between them as the El Vibrato portal is reopened.

---

Stick an overcharged sphere in it.

• If the portal is already charged:

You insert the supercharged sphere into the base of the portal. There is a deafening crackle of energy as it sinks into the device and vanishes. The beams surrounding the portal glow more brightly.

• If the portal was deactivated:

You insert the supercharged sphere into the base of the portal. The pieces of the device rise energetically from the ground and energy arcs between them as the El Vibrato portal is reopened.

Notes

• Installed in your campsite by using an El Vibrato trapezoid.
• Upon initial installation, the portal has 20 charges, allowing 20 adventures in the zone.
• Rollover does not recharge A Shimmering Portal. Only El Vibrato power spheres and overcharged El Vibrato power spheres do that.
  • El Vibrato power spheres add 5 charges to the portal.
  • overcharged El Vibrato power spheres add 10 charges to the portal.
• Machinations is not encountered without increasing the rate of non-combat adventures.
• A Shimmering Portal is removed from your campground after ascending. However, an El Vibrato trapezoid can be obtained again in the new ascension.
• Each of the combat encounters here have special responses when El Vibrato punchcards are used on them. See their individual pages for details.
• The text shown under the Last Adventure bar states the zone's name as El Vibrato Island.
• Exiting combat without losing an adventure (through the use of the navel ring of navel gazing, divine champagne poppers, tattered scraps of paper or other like combat items and skills) still consumes a charge from the portal.
