It took Sean a moment as everyone grinned at him.  When he caught on, his eyes widened.  “Oh.  Oh!  So you were… Ohhhhh.” He winked at Robert Edward, who looked like he wanted to be pretty much anywhere else at that moment.   Sandy gave him a good swat on the behind and a wink, making him blush even more deeply.

Allistor heard the faint voice of Chloe in the background asking, “What was he doing, Momma?” followed by a hushing sound from Nancy.

“Anybody else?” Sam asked, trying to hide his smile.

Nancy spoke up.  “I’ve learned Alchemy and Herbology.  From working in my garden.”

Sandy raised her hand, still giving Robert Edward a flirty smile. “I have one called Tracking, and another called Woodworking that I got while making a walking staff.” She put special emphasis on ‘wood’, never taking her eyes off Robert Edward.  The man lowered his eyes and coughed.

When nobody else spoke up, Allistor said, “Nancy, you should speak with our resident doctor here.  There should be a way the two of you can combine your skills to speed up healing or increase how much of a heal we get from bandages or potions and such.  Maybe include Meg and Sam.  The ingredients that give buffs to the food they make might help you as well.  And vice versa.”

Sam looked at his watch.  “We can do that tomorrow, once we’re someplace safe.  For now, get some sleep folks.  Maybe assign your attribute points now that we have a better idea what they do.  We might need some boosts to get to safety tomorrow.

As the others laid themselves down or zoned out to mess with their attributes, Allistor took a spot in a corner behind the sitting stones.  Out of sight of most of the group, he reached into his bag and removed the scroll he’d looted from Alan.  Keeping it out of sight, he used Examine on it.

Scroll of Levitate

Item Quality: Uncommon

Single Use Item

Opening and reading the spell on this scroll will imbue upon the reader the knowledge of the Levitate spell.  This channeled spell will allow the caster to lift and move objects with magic. Can be cast on self or others.  Higher skill levels will increase caster’s control over the target.  Length of spell depends on available mana pool.  Effectiveness and duration increase with higher Intelligence and Will Power attributes.

Allistor practically drooled as he read the description of the item.

His first instinct as a gamer was to open and read the scroll.  Levitation was an awesome power.  When cast on himself, with the proper control, he might be able to actually fly.  Eventually.  But he could do tons of other cool stuff as well.
