Dearest Mother,

You wouldn’t believe the things that go on at this crazy school.  In the middle of lunch some guy that walked in with a collar on and nothing else then passed out.  It didn’t seem to faze people much as they just drug him off to the dungeon by the groundskeeper.  We heard from one of the other students named Olivia, that several of the students have been going missing.  She said she’d find out the names of the other students that have gone missing and talk to their roommate to see if she could figure anything out.  Unfortunately, that was the last we saw of Oliva as she joined the ranks of the missing with only a few things left under her bed.

 

The headmaster has disappeared as well and it’s really upset everyone since he was the most powerful people around. 

 

Then there was the incident wi ... Read more »

Nathandrix provided each of us with amulets that will prevent us from dying. We will be cocooned if there is a threat of dying.

We are pulled into the arena. There are two rows of trees creating a path. We are at one end. A group of 5 individuals stands at the other. We can't move.

A glowing ball begins pulsing (a countdown). We can't move our feet, but we can move our hands to cast spells.

Kat moves adjacent to opponent on far left.

Opponent turns rock beneath me to mud until I sink and then another reforms it to stone. As the first opponent moves I take an attack of opportunity (crit).

Darwynn moves up and attacks one of the opponents with her claws.

Opponent casts to dump mud on Darwynn, but she moves out of the way.

Konrad casts doom on one of the opponents.

Darwynn moves behind a tree and opponent casts to dump mud over her. Another casts mud over Brega. Another over me and a fo ... Read more »

In the quest for magical engineering, the group of valiant adventurers are directed to the dining hall to eat a great feast.

Everyone in the party sits with Nethandric, who sits at the head of the table. Again, Nethandric asks the party about the nature of their quest.

Dar-wynn and Konrad explain that they are on a mission to repair the barrier between the planes of existence. That segues into a discussion of magical engineering and the adventurers are told that there will be an arena test that will be graded on a pass/fail scale.

The overriding question is: Does the group have all necessary components (skills, aptitude) to learn magical engineering.

Magical engineering is about combining spells to great effect.

Amicas is the one individual who can fix the barriers between the worlds, so ultimately, that is the goal of the quest. To find Amicas.

The headmaster knows where Amicas is but the group will likely d ... Read more »

The group resumes looking for Nethandric...

In a vestibule off of the endless plane of stone floor, Dar-wynn tries each of the two doors, neither were locked.

Kat opens door number 1 and sees a wall of water, think a door into an aquarium.

Dar-wynn opens door #2, sees a wall in the glowing distance with a glowing flower. 

There is also a creature present.

The creature is a chimera covered in armor. It comes bounding forward but it is restrained by a chain.

The group decides to attempt distracting the chimera to grab the glowing flower.

The dragon head of the chimera uses an acid attack on Konrad which does some damage.

Dar-wynn prepares to fly up and does successfully. 

Konrad moves forward to grab the flower. He gets the flower. Kat rushes in and the chimera attacks Konrad. He becomes critically injured - possibly fatally.

Kat tries to pick up Konrad's body and run but her hand passes thro ... Read more »

The hags were defeated. We all noticed the fresh celestial mark upon Brega's forehead that she had received from her deity. Small price to pay after being saved from drowning. With the storm cleared after the death of the vile witches, we are able to continue our voyage to find Nathandric. The next morning we wake to find everything absolutely still. I would say there was an ill wind but for the fact there was no wind. The sea was silent and smooth as glass. All of the crew that were on deck were absolutely still, and no amount of prodding caused any change in their poses.

We retrieved the captain's spyglass and Kat climbed the mast to get a bearing in the crow's nest. Along the horizon off the starboard side we did notice motionless columns of smoke. On the port side we saw an island in the distance and some other object in the still water between the ship and the land. While sizing up our situation, Konraad scried into the future to gain a glimpse of what foe we may be e ... Read more »
