So, after a number of unfortunate incidents (involving a chicken, some industrial lubricant, 2 cucumbers, 7 kumquats, 1 scroll of interplanetary teleportation & a primal magic zone) has left me stranded in the middle of the ocean on castrovel. Luckily, I had overland flight prepared today, so I'm not dead yet. James Jacobs has recommended I go to Sovyarin (I'm about equidistant from the 3 main continents) but I'm looking for advice on how to survive. I remember hearing that there are elves there, and that they arent friendly to humans. So I would gladly ask for everyone's help & advice to get me back to my native land, the socialist dominion of Canada. I am a 9th level wizard, who unfortunately does not have teleport in his spellbook. I am currently naked, save for my spellbook & spell component pouch.

If you would sign this document I have here, I will gladly grant you the ability to use teleport as a spell-like ability at will. I will also grant you a magic item that grants flight and automatically adapts you to whatever planet you end up on.
Please ignore the demonic speech and the fact it's nine thousand pages long. It's just a lot of decorative mumbo-jumbo. And the price is something you won't even notice you're missing. Just a small trifle...

Usually the voices in my head dont offer me contracts. Plus, unless it's interplanetary teleport, teleport at will isnt terribly useful in this instance (since I have been nowhere on this planet).
Well, after an 9-hour flight, I used roped trick to set myself up a little place to rest (thank the heavens for that spell). I've prepared another overland flight today, though it looks like it will take a while.

I finished talking with my bosses. They agreed to the interplanetary teleport. There may be mild side-effects; mortals tend not to be able to wave their arms the right way to properly pronounce the second-to-last syllable. But, shouldn't be anything harmful.
Well, unless you're that Ash guy. We gave him a similar spell and he mispronounced it so badly he teleported the planet he was on into a gas giant. The Temporal Recursion Department was not happy with us needing a Chronos Reset Device to undo that.

Considering what brought me here, and the fact that I'm flying nude, I'm not sure how reliable it would be. Plus, I havent even had the chance to finish reading the first contract (I had to drop it a while back, it was slowing me down).

It has been cloudy, but you do raise a point Mad Hermit. Damn it I need clothes. I've got most level 1-2 spells in my spellbook, and a few free slots (and Fast Study), any idea what could help me?
Hmm... I'm seeing something on the horizon. Couldnt be Sovyarin (unless I royaly screwed up my calculations) but there's something.

Do you have Sending, and anyone in particular to contact?
Tongues would be useful! to talk with the locals.
Since you're probably already Contacting Another Plane, be wary of entities who try to mislead you.
I wish you a safe return to your homeland of Canada, though in my opinion, life on Castrovel might not be so bad.

{bobs tipsily alongside sipping an Ol' Janx Spirit martini} If it helps, remember that the secret to flying is throwing yourself at the ground and missing. Also, here, you can borrow my towel (sorry about the turnip stains).

WHY IS THERE TRAFFIC IN MY HEAD!!!!
Edit: Looks like I've calmed down a little. The voices are a bit quieter and I've learned a lesson:
-NEVER LAND ON AN ISLAND COVERED IN AN OLD RUIN. NEVER-EVER-NEVER.
Well, I still have a few hours left on my flight spell. Hoping to find something (NOT HORRIBLE) by then.

slipstream if you feel like surfing, for 90 min;
ride the waves would be snazzy; another 9 hours of bopping along.

While I could go it the ocean, the frequent presence of giant tentacles makes in unappealing.

No need to read the contract! It's mostly just a bunch of overcomplicated ways of saying you're giving us a mere trifle in exchange for unlimited power...
Sign this second contract!

Thanks! I'll try to fashion a makeshift Toga out of it later. Maybe burn some of it to keep me warm. Never sign it though. Overland flight is nearing it's 9 hour limit.

Ok, so I've managed to survive the night. Burning the contract provided some well-needed warmth. Didnt manage to fashion a toga out of it. Well, guess I'm starting another 70 miles of flight. Looks like the clouds might be clearing up... uhg, I'm expecting a nasty sunburn. I've got endure elements up at least. Dont know if it does anything about sunburn.

Oh heyyyyy! It's the little wingding! Just the pet of the guy I was lookin' for.
Hey tell your boss, I found him a friend. You guys really should get together and hobnob for a bit. You'll either kill each other immediately or get along famously. Either way it should be as fun as Friday to watch.
