Session 22: The College Years
General Summary
Grubbis and Flic talk Felric Wideboots, now a Officially Deputised as a Seeker, into taking them to the college, where they catch up with Arry and Ofelia. They tell Felric about the Forest Magic becoming untethered around Quinton, which worries him as his town, Bellingham, isn't too far from there.
Flic gives Felric some of her "Special Crunch" the coffee jerky mixed with strange power that she found. They headed to the library, with the very buzzed Halfling to research Ley lines.
They meet librarian Keiffa Keffir, briefly, and start researching old books and knowledge. Turn out that Felric is actually a really good researcher, they've gathered what they need to start when the head master, Bernhard Hazelash, comes in and takes them to his office to discuss the matter over a glass of Feyfire Wine.
Master Hazelash explains his theories about the different flows of magic and how the magic of the forest travels along the leylines and is grounded into the earth to cycle around again, and that if the sites were it flowed into the earth had been disrupted this might be causing the problems.
He offered them use of the libraries and for one of the masters who specialise in curses to look at Arry but asks a quick favour. While researching ancient magic tomes, some of the students tried to use some old spells to bring inanimate objects to life and it had gone wrong, a whole basement wing is out of use due to objects there attacking anyone who goes in.
The group head down and find a pair of animated swords and get hail stoned by an animated magic staff. There is also a broom. They hit the things until they return to not moving. Who said magic was difficult?
