  I woke up early again, knowing that I would need to get going again on getting my armor done faster, especially after the beating I took from the Supervillain. I meditated quickly after getting up and getting my first meal. I quickly cast my series of Unseen Crafter spells, focusing on adding more workforce to my project, to get it done faster, so I can start on the enchantment part of enhancing this armor.

  After spending the time to get eight of the Crafting Spells going, I got the crafting of the second to last Field Provision Boxes done for the Shelter. By this point, I have it pretty much down pat, so I spent the required time and materials on the fourth carved dark wood box, and then got ready to deliver it. Knowing that this day is usually associated with “rest” here in this world, I decided that I’d go spend a shift with the EMT’s again. Maybe I can get some more training on the differences between my medical skills and what they have here, that is to be tested here for the certification.

  I spent a full eight hours with the Ambulance Crew, who are now treating my visits with less than surprise or shock, and more of a welcome addition. Sarah was the EMT on staff that knew me the best, and she congratulated me on the taking down of Franscis Noche, and the saving of the deputies at the Norfolk Sheriff Station. I had not realized that it was Noche, as he looked VASTLY different than when I had Scried him with Clint, so I had not put it down to him being the super-powered villain, and just figured it was someone else entirely. I thanked her for the congratulations and told her that I guessed that I was the main point of contact now for needed supervillain response in the area. Sarah told me that she was glad to just have some help on tending to those who are wounded.

  I asked her to keep it a secret, and when she said that she would, I told her that I was offering up some enchanted items to the city to disperse to the EMT’s, that were a lesser version of what I could do, but would constantly do it, specifically the gloves that stabilize a person on touch. Sarah said that these could easily help them in their tasks, and I told her that I would look to see if there wasn’t anything that I could to make sure the deal goes through, and that this ambulance gets picked for a set after the trials are done. Sarah gave me a questioning look and I told her that I didn’t think that the City Council would weigh the results as fairly if they thought that a supporter of mine was in the trials, or that since I was spending a lot of time with this ambulance, if it wouldn’t be better to spread the capability, so to speak. I promised her that I would get her a set even if the City Council doesn’t agree to the deal. Sarah thanked me for everything, and I figured that I had made a good decision.

  I worked through the shift, helping out with my Cure Light Wounds spells as I could, and my skill based knowledge when that wouldn’t help and after I was tapped out on those spells. Sarah was more than happy for the assistance that I had provided, including the lunch that I had gotten for the crew. I was happy to help and help take away some of the suffering for the people of this town. There was a bit of a hiccup during the day, where one of the calls was for someone who had overdosed on some drugs, for which my spells could do nothing, but my medical skills were sufficient for the task. We got pulled aside and told to tell no one about it by a family member who I found out was a member of the City Council.

  I agreed, thinking that if I needed to, I could use this little secret later, but that I would do my best to not. It isn’t necessarily the person’s fault that their child was using drugs. If they were dealing drugs, that would be a different thing however. It certainly didn’t help the general mood of the crew, and I wasn’t the happiest that it happened just before I was set to leave. I apologized to Sarah that she was caught up in this, and she shrugged, saying that this was the likely result no matter what.

  With that note, I left and headed back to the Storage unit, to take a nap with the enchanted bedroll. Rex was out fishing or flying around, so I got ready for a good nap. I let my equipment set aside to get cleaned and repaired while I rested. I knew that I would need to get more ready for everything and my armor was the first part of that.

  I woke up after an hour of rest, and immediately went to focus meditating to get ready to cast the Unseen Crafter spells. I quickly cast the eight spells in succession, and as I cast the last one, I got a text notice from Clint that I was going to get some visitors tomorrow, one of which was the magical representative of this world. I balked a bit, but decided to not immediately start with my enchanting of the last Field Provision Box until I get the clearance from the magical representative, in case this is a point of contention. I decided that preparedness was better than shaving a day off of one component of my armor, so I cast Page-Bound Epiphany to get a hand on this Magical Representative. What I got back, regarding the Sorcerer Supreme (as this world’s highest user of magic is called) was a large amount of information.

  I learned that they are the “designated protector of Earth from mystical, interdimensional, and extra-dimensional threats, and are charged with defending against incursions and that the title is passed down through succession. I learned that the Title has gone back centuries, if not millennia, with quite a few different individuals holding the title. The most recent prior Sorcerer Supreme was apparently a person known only as “The Ancient One” and that they had held the title for centuries, and that they had created the three global sanctums (one of which was in New York, a place close to where I had went to go heal Tony Stark). I learned that the current Sorcerer Supreme is one Doctor Stephen Strange, and that he had a meteoric rise through the ranks upon starting his training. I also learned that he had previously been a gifted neurosurgeon, but due to an accident, he lost some ability with his hands, causing him to seek out schooling at a place called Kamar-Taj.

  This was all useful information for me, so I left it at the one casting, and as many spells into quickening the armor fabrication as I could. I had the feeling that I would be called upon to do more here in the upcoming future, and I needed to make sure that I was ready. Rex had gotten home by the time my spell wasa done (and transcribed into another book), so we caught up on each other’s daily events, planned for tomorrow, and decided to hit the sack a little early, to make sure that we are ready for anything, tomorrow morning.
