(Not Midori)
To the Heroes of Travance
My name is Sylvia Fairchild. I’m a farmhand from Kaladonia. My daughter, April, went missing in February. She’s 23 years old, with long wavy red hair, and favors blue clothing. I’ve been told that a number of you witnessed her being taken by a group of mercenaries. I know that a single farm hand does not rank especially high on the priority list of people who save the world on a regular basis, but are there any among you who have information for me? I understand one among you is currently keeping her casting phokus? Perhaps you could use that to contact her patron? I don’t know. But any tracker, or investigator, or if someone can commune with nature or spirits, or contemplate divine will? Or anyone with a patron of their own to invoke? Contacts in Coast Haven? Scryers? Psions who can project their minds to other locations? I’m not expecting to trouble any more seasoned adventurers with this…but if anyone has information or the ability to get it, please, I’m begging you to get in contact with me. She’s my only child and she's everything to me. She’s been gone for almost two months, and her birthday is coming up. Please help.

Mina gave me a proper description of how things went down. From that description, it sounds like they used a portal ritual, cast at the location of departure. While yes, that's more advanced than your typical use of telemancy, that's not quite a 'magnitude of spellcraft'. It's just a portal ritual. You open it to a location, people go through willing or otherwise, and you close it behind you. Ritual done. Knowing how to get the portal to open to a specific location does lean more into green sorcery. But if the proper prep work is done beforehand, someone else can be given a sheet of parchment with most of the work done already and a list of instructions.
Someone with a deeper understanding of portals and green sorcery may be able to give you a more thorough explanation than what I've said above, but from my knowledge as an experienced user of telemancy, this is my conclusion of what happened.
