"Thank you. Where should I put items to be Prestidigitated - the dishes, clothes overnight, that kind of thing -"

She shows him a dumbwaiter in a wall, and a bell he can ring to have it taken. 

Permalink

"Oh, how clever - thank you."

He eats his dinner and sends the dishes down and when it is bedtime he sends his clothes down too and he - waits to see if he'll be roused with the dawn -

Permalink

He is.

...there's definitely something weird going on, there, though. He gives Her a sitrep about where he is and why it might be weird. He reaches to swap out a cantrip, drop Spark which is only useful if he's camping and replace it with Read Magic in case it makes sense for him to dip into someone's reserve of divine scrolls here in this situation of scarcity - and it happens, sluggishly, and - that's it.

He ballparks an hour of prayer anyway, it's good for him and She can presumably still hear him even if he can't replenish his spells this way.

Are his clothes back yet?

His clothes are back!

Then he will get dressed for the morning and sit on the balcony with a chess set awaiting breakfast.

After a little while, Seshka alights on the balcony holding a basket. 

"Hi! There are some things here that seem to be the same as things I remember from Golarion, which are almost certainly safe, and there's some other stuff if you want to experiment."

"I don't have Detect Poison, I was able to exchange one cantrip and then couldn't reach any more spells."

Permalink

"That is a weird amount of spells to be able to get but okay."

Permalink

"It's possible She could have extended herself for more but it didn't seem necessary? I still have most of yesterday's and this isn't a particularly dire situation."

Permalink

"That's fair. Maybe if I understood more about how the god-disruption worked it would be perfectly logical. I'm glad she can get you here at all, though."

Permalink

"So am I."

Permalink

"You're third circle, right? I don't have any Pearls of Power available to loan out right now, but I know how to make them."

Permalink

"That's right. I'm not sure how much the situation calls for such unless there's a healing shortage or something."

Permalink

"It's not that bad. Clerics still mostly get their channels, and witches can heal, and we're a lot commoner on Cynorroden than Golarion." 

Permalink

"Is there anything useful to be doing?"

Permalink

"I'm much certainer that there is than what--aside from learning the local language, I don't anticipate needing the amulet back immediately but it is a good idea to try to get to the point of not needing it and I...don't actually know how long it takes a normal person to learn a language." As opposed to a person with enough cunning to properly cast from. 

Permalink

"It'll be my fourth, but two of those are closely related and the other I learned in a school setting. The amulet will probably help if I have people to talk to, only I'm not sure whose best use of their time is talking to me."

Permalink

"I can find somebody. I have money and you're my best shot at getting home, at some point. Is there anything in particular that would help?"

Permalink

"...I'm not coming up with anything much more sophisticated than chatting about our respective planets and clarifying points of grammar over whatever number of chess games the other party will tolerate, I'm sure there are better ways to learn languages with an amulet of Tongues to hand but I don't know them."

Permalink

"Well, finding someone who will tolerate more chess games is a relevant consideration." 

Permalink

"It's not an essential feature."

Permalink

"Well, no, but I don't expect finding someone who likes chess to be hard."

Permalink

"Then I will be delighted to entertain them."

Permalink

"Excellent. Conveniently, chess is the same here as in Avistan, which--is not the weirdest similarity but it's noticeable."
