Chapter 5: Back to School

General Summary

Outside of the school of illusion, the group can meet up with Sylva Voliarum. Who needs to be convinced of their skills.
She brings in Wyldra for help. Wyldra mentions to Budrash that it's interesting that he kept her father's hammer.
Sylva tells them that on the first day of this most recent school year only 3 weeks ago, her husband Emar, the co-headmaster of the school and co-founder was killed trying to cast a spell of mass protection on the school. The spell backfired and cursed the school, causing horrific events to happen in a matter of seconds. since then, the school has been closed since.
She also mentions that a young Elf noble by the name of Adhach (Riverland) was reported missing that day.
Sylvia thinks if you can find the source of the curse, her husband can be brought back and the curse will be lifted.

FLOOR ONE:
Atrium:
A dusty, silent atrium that looks nothing like the massive structure of the outside. Most everything is made of chiseled stone and cloaked in a dark red. From the banisters, school flags are hung, showing the school's insignia, an eye with half of the pupil halved. Many red school cloaks are on the ground and first day panfits with guidelines on "how to be a proper mage."

"1. The world is a horribly unfriendly place. But our job as mages is to be kind and courteous. In order to immediately establish a friendly relationship based on respect and honor, all mages of the school of illusion should greet any and all people with the same greeting. "Welcome to the town." This way you welcome newcomers to wherever they may be, and residents are re-welcomed to their place of living. It may seem odd at first, but I assure you, people will remember you fondly if you obey this one simple rule. The living and dead all benefit from being welcomed to the town.
At the center of the room, lit by the sun filtered in through the windows is the single skeleton of an Aasmer, skeletal wings spread out with one hand extended out and the other hand covering the face.
1A: History
The history of the Elves and humans meeting is written on the board as well as the first illusion spell ever being invented. "Warding Flare" The incantation is written on the board. Whomever roles over a 20 in Arcana can just learn it.

The classroom is totally empty, most tables are pushed over. Someone has prestidigitated "Math sucks" on the whiteboard.

EMAR'S SCHEDULE:
Trigger: Welcoming the skeleton to the town. This triggers a grand illusion that makes everything look like a normal school day. They can follow him to the Dean's Office.
The Dean's Office: When the unsigned contract on Emar's desk is picked up, Master Ky-Bon appears in front of the party.
"I warn you, your rejection of all Hobgoblin applicants has not gone unnoticed. The grandmaster has sent me to give you one last chance. Take in the Ky, or face the consequences.
He waits and looks displeased.

"When the Hobgoblin empire reaches Cullfield and the town is in flames, perhaps then you will change your mind.

The hobgoblin disappears and Emar leaves, walking to the gymnasium.




Gym: Triggered when the mimic attacks. The mimmic throws up a ball of robes. Something shines from the center. After digging through, they come across a key that has a plant on it. A vision is shown when they pick up the key. The Ogre wears a sweatsuit type robe and addresses the group.
"Boy run lap. Then suddenly gone. Very strange. Maybe. Invisibility potion. Too young make. Maybe Steal from Tyvel. Try get out of run lap. When you find boy. Bring him here. He run extra lap.

IF THEY WAIT till after Emar leaves.
A boy, a pureblood elf with leaf tattoos all over his body appears.
"HEY! I look for you everywhere!" You in locker room the whole time?! You run-"
He's cut off by the boy's form changing into the mimic.


Greenhouse.
When Professor Blight dies it leaves behind the form of Tyvel a half-elf. Turns around and walks as if leading Emar somewhere.
"Adhach had been acting strange lately, getting headaches in class and spending less of his free time in the greenhouse which is unlike him. I mean he would spend all day, every day in here tending to the plants. Then...I found this."
She leads the players to a shrine of Aartrops.
In the center is an indent.
"I don't know where he got that mask, but it's horrifying, maybe you could look into its properties?"
An explosion can be heard. From the Atrium.

Atrium:

The young elf stands, eyes white, crying. A huge crowd of students are around him.
"Please, don't take the mask away from me. It's the only thing that lets me talk to him! Please!'
Emar walks over to his skeleton and the elf freaks out.
"Please give it to me. Please! You wont understand what you see. It wasnt made for you!"
Emar raises his hand to put the mask on.
The elf raises his hand and Emar turns to the same skeleton we've seen him as. The mask appears in his hand now.
The elf backs up in horror, notices that everyone is looking at him.
"Forget this, all of this, the school is cursed. The headmaster died trying to protect the school. He failed."
He raises a finger. and disappears.
