I'm assuming, perhaps incorrectly, that the teleporter by the philosopher is the one I need to use to get to the fortress, but when I try to use it, it says it's inactive. I figured that was because I never got the password to the teleporters in Broken Valley, or because I needed to clear the depleated Mine first. I wasn't strong enough to clear the mine, so I've actually gone back and started the game again, because my character was too weak anyway, so the question doesn't apply so much now, although I'm curious as to what I did wrong.
