Advice on making a traveling village

[BlingerBunny]

I'm playing a Psion 5/Thrallherd 8 and according to the class I've got a thrall and 73 believers. To effectively control my people, I need a way to easily keep track of them. I was thinking of a Caravan, but I don't know what it'd all cost to have portable domiciles for my believers. Nothing extravagant, just enough to keep them within a reasonable distance. Do you guys think 40,000g would be adequate enough for a Fortune-Teller's wagon, with a door to a demiplane that houses and protects my character's believers?

I'm also estimating 5,000g on a lunchbox of goblin cuisine that can be used 3 times a day, and feeds four small sized creatures. Does that sound right?

My character is a blue, with an oversized goblin thrall.

Is it an option for them to be a travelling circus? That way you will have a source of income and reason to travel. Sure it may be considered a cliche, but that doesn't mean you can't have one.

Sustaining Spoon
Cauldron of Plenty
These are your benchmarks for providing food. Food for small and medium characters costs the same, so the size won't make a difference. Making the food palatable only by goblins might save 10% or so on the cost.

A 1/day command-word activated mage's magnificent mansion wondrous item would be 7*13*1800/5 = 32760 gp. I think it would do the job required, and the price doesn't feel to me like it needs adjusting. You might need to put on a big, fancy hat once a day to activate it to avoid paying double for no item slot required.

Well, answering Boomerang; He's supposed to be styled off a mad hatter, so a traveling carnival wouldn't be hard to pull off. Plenty of games and unusual people, giving a whimsical feel of Alice in Wonderland.

The fortune teller's wagon would be where his people stay, and a second wagon would have all the needs to set up the carnival. His wagon would be a real mind bender. You open up the door and get the feeling that you've shrunk greatly. Like you've gone and eaten the shrinking cake. Everything scaled to be 16 times its size or more so you'll see a rather interesting shanty town built into furniture, and walls, a special garden and a long weirdly curving table for tea parties.

So two wagons into expansive planes, 200 10ft cubes for each, one with an ecology, and the second for storage of supplies for the traveling carnival. Permanency for Create Demiplane is 20,000g, so that should be 40,000g plus 10,000 for the ecology, and affixing the portals into the wagons.

So after that, it'd be 9,000g. I gave up a rod of wonder to expand the budget. 5,400g for a sustaining spoon, 1,000g for a tengu drinking jug, and 600g for a masterwork folding table and chairs, and a carved wooden dinnerware set for four goblins. That'd come to 7,000g which leaves 2,000 for pocket.

That sounds really cool, are the other PCs going to get in on the act?

Probably not, but I'm bringing in my Thrallherd to expedite the campaign. My GM isn't too happy with how running the campaign became work, so he wants us to break characters within RAW so that we can plow through this campaign. I'm doing it with a guy who can literally make people's heads explode.
