TIME FOR TRAVEL
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wandering Elanthians should be please to hear of an agreement, signed this week, between representatives of the mysterious Chronomages and Town Magistrates. This accord provides an opportunity for swift and carefree travel between towns.
For a mere 100,000 silvers Chronomage travel clients will receive an orb good for a single trip to the town of their choice. Citizens purchasing a orb in their home city will receive a discounted price.
Travel will occur within ninety minutes of booking the trip, and if you decide to leave at another time, no problem. READ your orb to see when the next transport leaves. GAZE at your orb to see your destination. Simply stand in the transport area at the appropriate time and the trip, once begun, will be over before you know it.
If you log off in the Transport Area, with the orb in your hand, and log back on after the designated travel time, you will awaken at your destination.
As part of the agreement with the town magistrates, travelers will need to wait 48 hours before using the Chronomage Transport again. Whispers have been heard that the Chronomages are willing to bend these travel time restrictions, but the cost is steep and citizens will not receive any discount for participating in dubious transactions.
Although town officials seem confident that these arrangements will "help facilitate travel and commerce between the far flung towns of our land," one Icemule halfling remains unconvinced. Cymballina Stackenhay, of Barley Lane, queries, "What do we really know about these Chronomages? We know they misplace gold rings at an alarming rate. What if they are equally careless with their clients?" The worried halfling also characterized the Chronomages as "shakedown artists and chronic petty theives" and declares she intends to "use my hairy feet" when moving from one town to another.
GM Akaydar gets credit for brokering the deal between the Chronomages and the town magistrates. Way to go, Akaydar!
