He steps on board and looks around, making a quick count of the other adventurers and pausing in surprise as he notices Jude. He makes his way over to the farmer and clasps his mail-covered shoulder. "You have reconsidered, I see. It is good to have you along." After exchanging additional pleasantries with anyone interested in conversation with him, Pier finds an out of the way bit of deck to sit down with his spellbook and supplies. He opens his pack and gets out a small dish and a black silken cloth, then pulls his crystal out of a pocket of his tunic. He stares at the crystal for a few minutes, murmuring under his breath. He had slept with it under his pillow, allowing it to capture some of his magic during the night, and now his mind reflects and refracts through the material, directing the sleep magic into a useful pattern. Once the crystal is fully suffused with his will, he places it into the dish and covers it with the cloth. He reads the rest of the incantation from the spellbook, then pulls his mind away from the crystal, through the cloth, creating the spiritual vacuum necessary for his Sleep spell.That done, he spends some time flipping through the book, following its procedures to renew the enchantments on his implements, refresh his recollection of some of the incantations, and gather the power necessary to cast them at a moment's notice.</blockquote>
