Is the travel included in this story? Or is it more walk through a door and now in a much different place? I am not sure this one works for 20.7. I have it recorded as 20.1 with 2 combos. Looking forward to your reply.

Unfortunately, I still don't think this one qualifies for 20.7

While this doesn't work for a combo with 10.1 (no combos for that one), it does work for 20.1
