[IC] New Crobuzon & the World Beyond

[Selina Parcellus]

[OoC: With this money, you can now do some shopping for magic items and other equipment.  Just give me a list of what you would like and I will let you know if it's available.  Most will be available but I reserve the right to veto anything to crazy.  Custom items will take time to not only create but to find someone willing to create the item.  This may seem like a high magic world but it's no Forgotten Realms.  And many spell casters in this world follow different magical traditions that may not be able to even cast the spell needed to create the item.  But in some cases items may be even cheaper to create if you find someone with a tradition that compliments what type of item you wish to create.  A wand of tongues would be a great item for a Communicatrix to create but not so much for an Elementarii who specialize in creating Elementals from any type of material.]

[OoC2: I do have some prestige classes too for some of these wizards.]

((How long do we have to wait before we gain our third level?  I've already decided on her class and everything except her feat.  Her choice of items will depend on getting her level, though.))

[OoC: I believe Jonath originally took the Mage Hand.  I can't recall if it was as part of his treasure or he was just using it until it found a home.  But since he's not around he's not going to object to you taking the Hand.  ]

Jonath looks around at all the objects in Simon's shop and seems particularly interested in the Janitor Construct.  He had always been interested in clockwork automatons but this technology far surpassed anything from his own world.  "I would be interested in helping," Jonath replies.  "In fact, I might want to stay and apprentice with you.  If I could learn how to create constructs like these and then take that knowledge back to my own world, it would be a game changer."

Tomeal replies, "Until we return home, I feel I am still in all of your debt for saving my life.  So I will go along with whatever the group decides."

Piper replies, "I want to get home to find out what happened to my people.  Whatever way will get me home the fastest is the way I want to go."  The two other kobolds nod and yip in agreement.

Selina closes her eyes and breathes.  Yes, it was good to, generally, have a consensus about that.  But she wasn't surprised about it.  She was mildly surprised about Jonath's request, but she supposed his general silence up until this point had been awe or interest.  Regardless of this, she knew that staying was his choice, and tells him this specifically.  "Master Jonath, I pray you find all that you are searching for here.  There is no way we can compel you to join us back home, and we all know that.  But for the rest of us, I believe it is high-time we went back to where we belong."

Betimi merely shrugs, looks at Selina , Nacesh, and Jonath.

"We began this journey together. I shall see you both safely home, as is our agreement as a company"

Looking a Gilley, Tomreal, Forge, Piper, and the two kobolds each in turn.  

"Likewise, I will endeavour to see you back where you belong. It seems a horrible thing to die far from family and loved ones"

She pauses and gets that odd faraway look again. Yes, yes, I know the masters may already have found their world.
Let them cling to hope...

Selina immediately feels a sharp pang when Betimi mentions 'family'.  She guards it well, but it is there for the briefest of instants.  No, she did have a home.  The Sisters of Selune would always welcome her home if...When she ever returned.
