I actually have access to all the spells I need right now - I can study my spellbook for 15 minutes to call in Scrying x2 (into my open L4 and L5 slots), Prying Eyes comes from my Runestaff of Divination (I'd sacrifice Greater Dimension Door), and Locate Object is one of my (spontaneous) beguiler spells. I don't see any particular reason to delay, right? I'm fine with resting if it suits the rest of the party, but I haven't really tapped deeply into my resources yet, and if we're going to rest anyway I might as well cast my spells first
Re familiars, one of my characters once had a pseudonatural penguin
