I'm a bit confused- I know I'm supposed to get a paper from the portal but I (apparently) can't finish the portal until I get my garlic bread, and when I go inside the portal it spits me out again after a few minutes.
To paraphrase what Lady Anna says about the situation: That place is weird. Is there something around that might be what you're looking for in a weird form?
