The Ebony Coach

Whenever travelers along the roads and highways of Estria hear the thunder of hooves, the experienced ones quickly say a prayer not to meet the dark ebony lined and armored coach of numerous tales and rumors. Speaking at night over pints of ale, those whom travel speak of the black coach speeding down to come to a screeching halt next to those that have moved out of its way. The coachman sitting on the front never looks away from the area ahead, but many times, those gaping in awe at the gothic armored carriage see a small door open on its side with a faint yellow light inside tumbling outward. Many have said they have watched those foolish enough to enter the cart, to only stumble out of the cart in shock, or tears, or terror. No one speaks of what is inside.

This coach made from black wood, steel and adamantine is actually a container for a permanent Magnificent Mansion spell. The home, workplace and laboratory for Ssuilsulih, known only as The Wicked Wanderer, this vehicle travels the world according to the whims of the diviner.

Inside, should you be invited within, contains a luxurious home accessible from a modest entrance that shimmers faintly and is 5 feet wide and 10 feet tall. Anyone invited can enter the extra-dimensional dwelling as long as the portal remains open. While closed, the portal is Invisible. Beyond the portal is a magnificent foyer with numerous chambers and rooms beyond. The atmosphere is clean, fresh, humid and warm; regardless of the outside conditions.

The place is furnished and decorated in silks and lace, with thick curtains and sheets hanging from the walls as well as bunched along the floor providing comfortable seating essentially anywhere inside. Careful examination will reveal the random snake or serpent slithering underneath. It contains sufficient food to serve a nine course banquet for up to 100 people. A staff of 100 near-transparent servants attends all who enter, all beautiful, lean and sleek. Each are completely obedient to Ssuilsulih's orders.

Each servant can perform any task a normal human servant could perform, but they can't attack or take any action that would directly harm another creature. Thus the servants can fetch things, clean, mend, fold clothes, light fires, serve food, pour wine, and so on. The servants can go anywhere in the mansion but can't leave it. Furnishings and other objects created by this spell dissipate into smoke if removed from the mansion.
