Why didn't Durkon Plane Shift to Celestia to talk to Roy?

[littlebum2002]

You have to specify a place. A person doesn't count as a destination for magical transportation spells.

That's why the scry is the first part of "scry and die". The first step is to find your target. But it doesn't work across other planes.

So how did he know where to find V?

FTFY. Roy could have given the gang some major spoilers if he was allowed to talk with anyone while he was dead.

Exactly

Wow, that sure is a lot of meta-knowledge your "fix" relies on. If Durkon can both time Plane Shifting to be when Roy's body is a bone golem, and know that Roy will have that much more relevant to say than just "I've been in Celestia this whole time," I wonder why he didn't skip the spell and just tell the others the plot of the rest of the book.

I mean if my party is clearly suffering without the help of our leader and I had a spell that would let me talk to our leader and ask for advice with only a couple days of travel time, i don't see why i wouldn't try it at least once to see if he can help.
