Help! I'm trapped on Castrovel and I want to go home!

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.


Use the rope trick to get to the first color of the rainbow and consult Woogie the freckeled camel!


Apparently the voices in my head are also on drugs, as well as demonic. Hm. A few tentacles came out of the ocean earlier, gave me quite a fright. Good thing I have no clothing to wet. Still no land in sight.

I'm afraid you've got the wrong number, there is no mongo here, just shouting. Also, I'm trying to fly, so I'm hoping not to be too distracted.


Anybody know a way to speed this up? I'm only going about 70 miles per overland flight, and I only have 1/day, so I dont think I'll get anywhere soon. It looked like quite a long distance when I fell from orbit.


Build a Dreamy Boom Boom...enough wood up there...


You should roll a Mime (trapped in invisible box) check; if you succeed, you can stick a GalEx shipping label on the outside and have yourself overnighted to elsewhere.


1d20 - 1 ⇒ (8) - 1 = 7
Well, that's my perform(mime) check. Damn that -1 CHA (not: I'm assuming I can do untrained)

Edit: unfortunately, no success. I guess I'll continue flying. Might take a few days. At least the tentacles havent shown up in a few hours.


Well, make sure you leave a light on, 'cause it'll be dark soon, and grues mostly come at night... mostly.

Good thing I'm flying 200 feet above a roiling sea, in bright sun, with no attics for miles around.

Although apparently, the voices in my head are getting crowded. Maybe the grue will clean them up a bit. Take care of Groovieinnerchild first, he's been distracting.


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.


Is this just a jokey thread, or do you need help? What spells do you got?

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).


You should've wrapped yourself in the contract, to avoid sunburn. The ocean will reflect it back and give you a sunburn on your Mr. Bo Dangles.


I got this variant rod of wonder I can give you. It might work for ya. It might not.


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.


No. NOOO. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! OH GOD WHY NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO


Should I insert a "Muhuhuhuahahahahahahahahah" in here somewhere?

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).

BLOODY TOURIST!


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;

beast shape for 9 more min;

ride the waves would be snazzy; another 9 hours of bopping along.


I could cast lesser planar binding to have an outsider help me, but I dont think I have to cha to pull it off (I do have magic circle though). Any ideas of what I could summon?

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


Every time you think you're out, do they drag you back in?


Make two rope tricks, one inside the other. Go to the astral instead.

Would that be any better? If I remember my cosmology properly, locations in the planes arent connected planet to planet (if I remember distant worlds properly).

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.

Try spinning while flying, so you at least get an even tan/sunburn. Or, in the immortal words of Slippy: "Do a barrel roll!"


Yeah, but burning the contract also means you are now out of toilet paper.

When you fly above the ocean, the whole world is your bidet.

I did do a few barrel rolls. It was fun.

Here. I got you another contract. Only, please don't sign this one; it's a Microsoft licensing agreement. It's only a couple million pages long, so you may have enough to fashion clothes and have fuel to burn for warmth.


Have you tried communicating with the owner of the tentacles? They may be friendly and can offer you directions.

See if they know sign language

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.


Looks like another day of lonely flying ahead. Hope I get to sovyarin sometime soon, this is just annoyingly long.

@Legion janus: unfortunately, I cannot burn the microsoft service agreement, it is in some unreadable format nobody can use.
