"My lady, I have the list of needed supplies for our expedition"

"Yes, I want to see this list. If I approve I will send you with all the rubies you can carry."

We have already had the peasants gather most of the food rations. I am mostly well equipped from previous quests, but some of my equipment needs updating if we are to be successful in the unforgiving Nevada Wastes.

-1 Piece of Soft material to line my Enchanted Helm

-Rune Paint, for magical reinforcement for dessert conditions

-Foot socks made for dry conditions

-An enchanted rope that can protect our steeds from theft

-Dragon scale gloves for handling metals

-A ritual chalice in the event that we must return with liquid

-Dr. Bronners Magic Soap, to protect from dust

-Dragon Scale Boots for dessert conditions

-And an enchanted head light, for night searches

What steeds shall you be taking from the stables?

We shall leave at first in carriages, and only be using steeds once we reach the city itself. I will be leaving Citrus Lane, as regular horses are unfit for the extreme conditions.

Rather, I have made the arrangements for our party to use camels instead. I know not their names yet

  Ah and what of your hut outside of town will it be cared for, I recall you had some trouble with goblins not 3 fortnights ago.

  Goblins, yes. My familiar was out and so they made off with my enchanted mirror. Give my commendations to your royal guard

I was just going to end the goblins myself, but the royal guard had already recovered my artifact.

Yes, well we have not tolerance for such things in this kingdom. Have you enchanted a golem to guard your home?

My familiar doesn't take well to other magical creatures, but I have been working on a rather insidious warding spell that will trigger when intruders come near

Ah brilliant. Will you be documenting your travels?

  Naturally. You will receive a full report upon my return. Successful or not

I suspect you shall be successful after all you know I do not enjoy being disappointed. *lightning flashes*  What beasts, warlocks, witches and wizards have you collected as your traveling companions?

  Naturally I am taking Cowpunch, my familiar. Tonya the Knight, Kayci the axe wielder, and Ian's slave girl will be traveling with me in my caravan. 

We will be sending out the Wizard Jeremy and Ian the Swordspell out ahead of us, two suns early. They have a much larger caravan which contains our housing, and most of our animals. We will catch up to them quickly and meet at the randevu point to continue the search as a party. 

Additionally, Amber Dragon of the north will be gracing us with her presence. She is perhaps the only trustworthy dragon I have ever met, and she will be guiding us to where she believes the magical city will appear. She has a familiar of her own, and one mercenary I do not know.

She has commissioned the aid of several mercenaries from the far south. I do not know most of them, But Super K and I have crossed paths before, and I trust him and his kind.

Ah you have chosen well. The kingdom will miss you greatly. If my memory serves me well you will be returning on the second sun of the new cycle. When will you be recovered enough to return to my services?

It may even be as late as the third sun, since we have arranged to stop for rest on the journey home. If we find the city, we must not rest there. For if the city disappears with us still inside, we will be trapped for 365 years. 

According to Amber-Dragon, the city itself is like another dimension. Nothing works there the same way it does here, and when you leave you must get used to the normal way of things again. She is a dragon and she said the process took her about a week. I do not know how it will effect me, even with all my magic.
