Two: can i place extra equipment in it so i can close the fortress and put it into my pocket but be really light? Three: can i say travel all day in a wagon then stop say the command word then drive the wagon inside for protection in the plains at night? it would in essence be a bag of holding with walls to help protect me at night and so forth, is this what it does or what... if not how could i make such a portable fortress?

It's not an entire castle, just a single tower made of adamantium, 20 feet in diameter and 30 feet high, with crenelated battlements on the rooftop and arrow slits on all sides. 2. I would rule that you could keep your gear inside it while it's shrunk down. Figure three 18-foot-diameter circular rooms, each with ceilings about 9 feet high. That could hold quite a lot of stuff. 3. Again, it's not a keep with an open bailey, just a single tower. And I doubt the door is big enough to admit a wagon. The item description gives further details, including the requirements to create one.
Rogue-Champion_447 12-18-04, 02:56 PM	okay, so its just a tower, how could i make it so it has say tenfoot high walls around it of adamantite. you know, a lot like the book exile, in the middle where belwar and drizzt try to help clacker turn back into a rock thing with the help of the wizard with the tower with walls.
