- Riding Disk: A larger version of Floating Disc that can support 2 (heavily laid down) or 3 people. The disc moves 15 feet a round.
- Absorb: -1 per die to all damage
- Infinite Image: Creates 3d4 Mirror Images
Steal Items: Takes 1d4 random items from the person it's cast on. The spell might affect items the victim is equipped with or carrying. The spell places the items in the wizard's backpack or bag.
The king tells you that there are going to be 4000 people and giving you a roster like that will take a lot of accounting. As to your group, you have 6 guards and are paying them 80 gp/week. I didn't write down how many bards you have or what you're paying them but i'd guess there are about 12. The royal jeweler makes you a very nice ring with an old time-stylized G. You meet the officials who will be taking charge of Threshold. All of them are men and relatives or friends of the king. They seem experienced in politics and don't give off any bad reservations.
Your exodus down the dark road is rather eventless for the amount of virgin forest trampled upon by the questing pilgrims. Most of the forest's wildlife scrambles away at the thundering sound of men, horses and carts as well as the hacking and slashing. The forest is particularly thick but the king has equipped the men with specially-made machettes and the tune of cut vegitation is constant. You are shocked when you are able to get behind the mass and see the crumpled branches and garbage litter the ground for miles. Few are the instances you have seen of man being so dangerous to the environment. But you know it lightens the load. There is a level of nervousness felt throughout the mass. They had all made this trip before and there was always talk of the ones that were lost on the immigration into Alfhiem. It is after a week of travel their fears are manifest and a catastrophe occurs. Rumor ripples through the crowd of giant bee attacks. When you get to the place where it happens, you see that a giant beehive has fallen on a group of people. You see people trapped under a large mound of wax that is spewing forth giant albino bees. Giant bees are flying all over the place. About 10 feet to your right is a screaming woman lying helpess on the ground while being stung in the face. 25 feet ahead of you the limp body of a little boy is being stung at by 2 angry bees. Another bee is chasing a group of 3 children about 60 feet ahead of you, behind the hive itself. To your left comes a bearded man running straught towards you with a bee behind him also.

I will ask the King to provide a complete list of everyone who is going to settle Threshold, along with their job/title. Also, I want to take a roster of everyone that is with me, so no one gets lost. Plus, I'd also like to know who my followers are.
Also, I want to design a signet ring for creating seals, and buy some official wax to make the seals with. The signet will be a stylized "G"
I have been talking to Josh about things that have gone on in the game, as Gandalf talking to Marcus. However, we'll have to assume this takes place when I see him when he gets back. The extent to which I was talking to him has to do with settling in Threshold. I may leave Marcus in Threshold to help take care of things. We have discussed it. Plus, I'm worried that something weird will happen in Threshold, and it may fall prey to power-hungry people (possibly from Glantri). I want to protect this investment. So, I want to meet the people who will be in charge of the new town. If I have any concerns with who they are, I will talk to the King.

I think any piece of paper will do. By the way, i'll send you some of the ideas I had for ki spells, but I still question myself whether they're a good idea.

I think that's a good idea. I mean it should be obvious that spell books cannot contain an unlimited number of spells. I don't know how big they are in your game, but I decided to go with the rulebook and make the standard book 200 cns. I'm guessing they're more akin to 50 cns in your game, and 50 - 10 = 40 makes sense. I think maybe for a 200 cn spell book I'd allow 180 spells. I was also thinking should spell books themselves be magically enchanted or would writing your spells on any piece of paper do?
Your old wagon is about a week away from Alfhiem, near Darokin. Are you planning on leaving the mass of people to travel there or are you going to risk teleporting there? Plus, the guys who were sent to risk their lives for a new wagon are going to feel a bit dumb....
I memorized the area back at the wagon, so I guess I'll teleport there using Teleport Any Object. I think it has no failure rating on myself.
D&D "I understand, now can I go?", says Erica. "You're not going to let her wander these woods by herself, are you?", asks one of your guards, "She looks ready to bring forth her fruit any day now."
"We'll not keep her against her will."

"Michael leave now or we will kill you. That is the best I can offer and the only scenario I am leaving you. I promise you noone will follow you." "Marcus, is that you?" "Yes." "Listen Michael, I met your wife during the the king's games. She's worried about you.", says one of the invisible. "Okay, i'm leaving, but Marcus is coming with me to assure my safety. Come here so I can feel you." Marcus starts walking over while telling Argyle, "We have to let him go. I know what his true motive is in Alfiem is. He is looking to capture a man named Victor for Sholderjfold. The same man I am looking for. The man who currently claims to Victor Charisma is an imposter. When he captures the fake Victor back and takes him back to Solderfjord, the real Victor will easier to find at least I hope he will. There is always the other possibility that the fake Victor is actually working for Solderfjord in order to help start a war between Alfiem and Specularum allowing Soderfjord to pick up the pieces. Allowing Michael to continue will allow us to find out. I am sorry if this hurts you chances for a promotion, but this mission has a higher status than you realize." He then tells everyone "I don't want anyone doing anything stupid. Let's try to make this a quick trip and get back as soon as possible." Michael takes hold of the invisible elf and starts walking off with him.
