I'm sure this is a really simple issue but unfortunately, I'm new to Divinity Original Sin series and I have no idea how to resolve the problem and am hoping someone in the forum can provide some much needed guidance.

I met with Gawin and initiated the Teleporter Quest. I killed the crocodiles and acquired the Gloves of Teleportation. I have equipped them the hand slot of my character. The issue is that I can't seem to get them to work. The gloves are in my hot bar and when I click, nothing happens. No special effects, just a click sound. After I click and try to click one of my squad to transport, all that happens is a conversation is initiated. In short, I can't use the gloves to teleport anyone. Given that the Gloves of Teleportation are useful in completing Fort Joy Quests, I'd like to be able to use them. My guess is that I've done something incorrectly but I'm not sure what that might be.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

There shouldn't be anything wrong with the gloves, it's just a small misunderstanding.
Equipping them unlocks the Teleportation ability which can be found in your list of skills. If you drag that ability to your hotbar you should be able to use it as long as you have the gloves equipped.

Thanks so much for the quick feedback. Still learning the mechanics of the game and this was very helpful.

Greatly Appreciated!
