I figured the town wouldn’t have enough money for many. I’d considered making some for the town for, like, 12 gp apiece. They cost 10 gp per casting, and I just don’t have a lot of money right now. I read a write up on what you could do with this spell, and it’s amazing the shenanigans you can build, but they cost money, which is the limiting factor. Maybe I could write to the nobles of Daggerford and see if I can get them to commission a series of them for the town? As a protection? I don’t have the money to scribe it, yet, but if I can, I’ll go ahead and purchase the scroll. I’ll only have 33 gp after buying it. I need 17 to scribe and another 10 to cast the first one. If anyone else wants to commission one, I’ll charge 20 gp to make one item for you. Any message and any trigger on any item. Earrings of goblin warning, Amulet of treasure finding, you name it. It’s gotta be an audio or visual stimulus, and the message has to be less than 25 words, with a range of 30 ft. I’ll just need to charge first so I can get enough money to make them.Basically, I’m trying to figure out how to survive. Titus is all about surviving, but he does have a sense of responsibility towards the town, now. He wants them protected.  I was looking over the Rituals I could buy, and that one caught my eye. Alarm only lasts 8 hrs. Magic Mouth is permanent. Also, getting money will help with surviving. I wouldn’t go so far as the computer stuff i read about, that’s too complicated. However, After reading that write up, you could literally create a series of multiple Magic Mouths, in a relay, that activate upon hearing another Magic Mouth. You’d have multiple magic mouths at each relay point, one for each of the other relay points, so they alert the guards of which relay point went off first, giving the general location of the intrusion. Make relay points circling the city.  This would cost a fortune, though. Each relay point would be only 29 ft from the next one, and to circle a town, you’d probably need a few dozen, to a few hundred, depending on the town let’s say there’s 50, just for an even number. I’d need 50 magic mouths PER RELAY (I can put the Magic Mouth on a grain of sand, so size isn’t an issue.). But per relay, that’s 500 gp per relay, which is 25,000 gp for a 50 relay alert system. And it would likely take more than 50 relays to get around the whole town. At 100 relays, that cost is increased to 100,000 gp. Of course, once done, no goblin will ever sneak into town again, but that’s just cost prohibitive. I’m currently just thinking of giving them to guards or scouts to help them stay alert at night. If I found a city or a Lord willing to pay to have a security system like that, heck yes.</blockquote>
