Here is my
question. I have two Asha'man in my group who saw a gateway
form and a figure dash through. THey want to be able to tell
were the gateway leads. They say that the destination should
be encoded in the weave. However I do not think this is so. I
told them that the gateway weave is just that. It opens a
gateway and it's up to the caster were it goes. I highly doubt
it would be encoded into the weave. THOUGHT????

I remember in the books that if the weave is just
allowed to close then it will give hints as to where it goes,
however if the weave is pulled apart rather than just being
aloud to die then it will not contain these hints (if in the
process of pulling apart the weave, the weave happens to slips
from the channelers grasp it becomes unstable and a big "boom"
ensues).

From what I
remember, Rand had no idea where the gateway that Sammeal used
went to. He just cast the same gateway and was able to follow
it. He altered it slightly to allow him to land in a place
near the original gateway. Then when he got there he
discovered that it was Shadar Logath. I made some rules for
the original netbook UtDB to allow a channeler to trace a
gateway.

When
Aviendah cast the travelling weave she said it was possible to
exactly duplicate the weave and therefore go to the same
place, but you would have to be very dextrous to do
it.
I would be considering weavesight check of DC
40-weave level perhaps. Then maybe some sort of concentration
check to recast the weave exactly.

In the
sequence with Rand following the Forsaken, there's a mental
note he makes, that if he were to recreate the weave as he saw
it, at the same location, it would open in the same place.
Altering the weave, even slightly, could mean a change of an
inch or of miles. The only way to tell where it goes is to
recreate it (at least that's how it appears). He changes it
slightly, hoping for the best, and hoping to avoid being
ambushed by his opponent (hint-hint).
It might be
possible to determine where it goes, without re-opening it,
but I'd put a high DC on it (over 30, probably
higher)
