You are traveling along a well-worn road when you notice what appears to be a hand sticking out of a shimmering magical portal embedded in an ancient waystone. The hand is waving rather frantically.

"Oh, thank the gods! A fellow traveler! I don't suppose you'd be willing to lend a hand? Quite literally, in this case. I seem to have gotten myself into a bit of a magical predicament - nothing too dangerous, mind you, just a minor miscalculation involving teleportation magic and... well, the specifics are rather technical."

"The short version is: I'm stuck halfway between here and there, and I could really use someone to give me a proper pull back into this plane of existence. Fair warning though - there might be a bit of magical feedback when I emerge. Nothing harmful! Just... energetic."
