4. Valos will investigate the northern island with the reef.

After some deliberation, I believe I have a fair arrangement for our deal.

Does that sound agreeable to you?

So how many actions would it take to set up a teleportation circle at a destination? How many to activate the teleportation spell?

Could I mark off some symbols on a ship and then teleport to it after it moves?

I ask all this because I've got a bunch of different people asking for my time, and moving between them all normally is going to cut heavily into my available actions. If I can set up a teleportation network, even if it takes me a turn or two to do it. It would help a lot.

What school do communication spells fall under?

Lady Mayor,

I am not an admiral. The Fleet follows the strongest Ship, of which I am the captain. My command is through personal respect, rather than official authority. You could say I am the first among equals and limits of my power are set by the tolerance of my fellow brothers.

I’ve heard rumors that your position is elective, and by masses rather than nobility. If that’s true, I am surprised - ship democracy is practiced among the free spirited crews, but for people of land to pursue such practices is rare. The sea naturally entices men to freedom, while land chains men to plow and machine. To see it reversed is unusual.

There's also a lot of silver mining in the mountains around Shackleton's Passage, which gives Buron's Silver District its name.

Trade and Market Predictions

With the war looming, the knightly orders of Merdallan are looking to refresh and improve the enchantments on their armor. As such, cunning speculators are anticipating a spike in the price of magical reagents in Merdallan, and also iron, as the forges that produce the legendary Merdal steel expand their operations.

The Whitestone Dock's practice of sheathing the undersides of their hulls in copper has attracted the attention of other shipwrights in the Tybish area, who are purchasing more of the metal for their own experiments. The price of copper in the city isn't exactly spiking, but it may rise for a short time as demand in this small market segment increases.

Demand for furs in warmer areas such as Tyb is expected to take its usual seasonal dive as the calendar moves fully into summer.

One action to build a basic teleportation circle, though you'd also need to acquire the resources to do so (Rare Wood or Rare Stone is usually what is used, though you don't have enough Trade and Markets Lore for me to tell you how to get either of those). Once built, it takes just a single action to teleport to that area, though you'd still have to spend the usual actions to move back to the place you teleported from.

You can certainly set up a circle on a ship and teleport to it after it moves, but that sort of thing has been known to cause weird side-effects--nausea and the like--that may provide penalties to any actions taken immediately afterwards.

"Communication spells" is kind of a broad category. Like, you could use Ego to imprint what you want onto the mind of a bird and have it carry messages for you, or you could summon an imp to do the same, or you could reach into your visions and talk to people with Divination, or you could carry messages through the spirit world with Necromancy...what exactly did you have in mind?
