The Travelling Block House
This is the Talisman of a Jerbiton Magus. It’s a model of a windowless Block House, carved from only 5 blocks of magically created perfect wood, about one pace by two paces and half a pace high, ornately carved with a master bed room (2 bed cots), a common room with 4 cots and a roofed stable with two boxes. Circles that can be used for warding spells have been carved into the floor. One of the circles in the floor is actually a hole, creating a place for a fire. A friend has enchanted this ring with the spell Be rid of the Tell Tale Smoke, and she has added Circular Ward against heat and flames to keep the fire inside the circle. The carving, done by highly skilled craft magic by the Magus himself, is so excellent that it gives +3 to rolls to impress, charm etc. (cf. City&Guild).
It can be commanded to grow to real house size and to shrink to comfortably fit into a little leather bag worn at the belt.
The magus has a wooden key that serves as an arcane connection to the House, and has a spell to call it to him at whim (ReHe30).
