Skeeve is feeling rather restless and suddenly remembers the treasure map he bought on his last adventure. Knowing Aahz's lust for money, he shows him the map. Quicker than a Deveel at the Bazaar of Deva can take your possessions, they were off to find the Golden Cow! There were a few problems, aren't there always. Tanda decides that she is in on the hunt; for a share, of course. Since Aahz is not too up on vortexes, just dimensions, they have to visit a Shifter at the Bazaar for directions-he/she/it gets a 5% cut of the treasure for each time they have to visit him/her/it. (Want to guess how many times our heroes are led astray?)

“Not yet,” I said. ‘We’ve still got the round-up, whatever that is. And a golden cow.” Tanda nodded and looked at Aahz with a serious face. “I’m starting to think this treasure isn’t worth what we’re risking.” Aahz looked at her as if she had gone crazy. “Are you kidding? We’ve come this far. Only a few more towns to go.” She nodded, but I could tell as I sipped my juice that this entire dimension was bothering Tanda a great deal. And in the time I had known Tanda, I had never seen anything
was going to cost me later. The shovel was getting bigger and bigger, growing quicker and quicker. “Almost!” Aahz said, his voice barely a croak under the weight. Above me the shovel looked like a massive gold coin. “Now!” Aahz said. I pushed sideways, letting the shovel fall toward the side-flow of energy as Tanda kept adding more and more gold to it. Like a gold knife, the shovel cut through the blue energy. At that moment everything in the room seemed to explode. I was smashed back
Aahz. “Might as well answer his questions.” Aahz just sighed and sat down on the floor. “The tent we went into was a Shifter’s tent. The person we had talked to was a Shifter. The Shifter moved us here, and my guess is this wonderful place is the Vortex #1 dimension.” I had to admit that he had answered my questions, but not very well. “So why were you so reluctant to go see a Shifter for help?” Tanda laughed at that as she too sat down on the floor. “It wasn’t just Aahz. I didn’t want to
the golden cow if we find it.” That seemed logical enough to me. “I hope that’s all it will take,” Aahz said. Tanda just nodded. I didn’t like that at all. Disappearing was not something I considered in my possible future. I had plans. Better, bigger plans. Yet now I was risking my life chasing a cow. Not smart at all as far as I was concerned. I tried to think about something else besides a future where someone made me vanish. “How do the Shifters keep changing like that one did?” “Disguise
looking at what it was at the moment, but more studying how it was changing constantly. It was as if there was always a part of it moving, morphing into the next character. The hair shifted, the skin changed, the arms lengthened, nothing really staying complete for more than a few seconds before starting to change into the next shape or color. Its voice, its chair, its eyes all changed as well. That really impressed me. When I did a disguise spell, I could do clothing and size and shape, but
