Session 2 - "The Only Part Of You That Burns in Hell is the Part That Won't Let Go"
General Summary
With the watery threat taken care of, and our entrance test passed, our new Teacher gives us the Welcome Walk. We meet the Spire Dormitory members, and gain access to our rooms.
The Welcome Walk
After surviving Laura's attack, Teacher Ot leads us across a bridge onto the "Welcome Walk," we see some students speaking to others and statues. The presence of magic is very palpable. Several lore speakers and alumni are present in statue form.
People are found to be asking statues test questions, theory based questions, sharing a drink with the statues (pouring one out as they say)
"Some say the statues whisper to their favorite students"
We are brought to an arc "Lore": people can be blessed with visions of their future, and have individuals take a moment to reflect.
Zuberi the Unbroken : one of the statues Nymeria tried to talk to.
Eshe is visited by a Very hot crow person who disappears and leaves a giant raven feather behind
Orvin finds a flier from a company called ArcanoCo with the face of Magistrate-Mayor Asanda on the cover, and proceeds to remove all duplicate sheets from any bulletin board he saw.
Teacher Ot leads us to "The Circle" and he turns to watch out reactions. Many classes are being held as well as having others study nearby.
"The Circle" - Glass dome held aloft above a plaza, filled with a mosaic interpretation of the Mwangi Expanse from the Northern to the Southern Mountains. It is held up by 8 pillars, stone, wood, fire, water, air, ice, light, and electricity. All pillars are being built up and destroyed constantly. The Circle accepts magic easily, but would require an incredibly strong individual to alter it and pull away from it. Power in its purest form.
Teacher Ot has 9-ish intitiates with one "Anchor Root" potentially thinking of dropping out. 14 all together that he sponsors
Onto the "Powder Pile" bookshelves filled with strange parphanelia, books, bottles, bones. Counter is large and loaded with papers, and manned by a single Kobold ( the best character in the game) Xhokan.
Xhokan asks us to roll some clay into beads. For us to be marked and more easily remember when we enter the store. We are given auburn beads for us to place on our bracelettes. (He has OCD be nice to him!)
40 gold signing bonus, along with 4 gold monthly.
Teacher Lesedi (HELLO???) spooks Teacher Ot and introduces herself to us. Pranked actually shes mean. One of the Lorespeakers of the Emerald Boughs. Appears to be a Fetchling from the realm of shadows. She is a celebritty out of Blood Cove as an opera singer. Built for scum and revelry but has been civilized after a violent uprising. Tragically she is jazzy so Orvin can't fully hate her yet.
We are shown the sparring fields where Sun-Tempest mages spend time practicing, and we are brought to the dormitory!!!!!
Teacher Ot drops us off at the dorm for continued introductions. He will see us for class next week. Nymeria and Eshe give Teacher Ot some drip so he can one up Teacher Lessedi.
Esi Djana appears and gives umbrellas to everyone. Chizire (catfolk but small aka just a lil guy). Chizire (cascade bearer) offers us mangos, and kind of just chills out. Esi appears to be stung at a commet from Eshe on how Esi appears to be a learned individual.
Walls of the Spire dorm (ours) are decorated with all sorts of fauna while the floors depict various flora. the animals change on the walls!!
Esi left us to peruse open rooms while she stepped away stating that she would return. She does so with anew initiate named Noxolo (the x is a tounge click like No - click- olo) who offered us all insulating blankets! The blankets appear to be from the Bekyar people of Mwangi. Noxolo obtained these blankets from the caravan they were on. Noxolo reports that a Charokol group (monkey soldiers) killed the caravaners and Noxolo took the blankets with them.
Noxolo makes all of their own clothing?!?!?!?
Anchor Root (Piglet) big old ball of anxiety, gnoll from the Mwangi expanse, wants to be an alchemist for her tribe (bonekeeper: the person who remembers everyon ein the tribe so the ancestors can continue to live and help people. Once people are forgotten they actually die). Maybe anchor root is starting to feel a tiny bit less anxious.
Esi reports that Chizire should have graduated by now but did not because of his own inaction. Esi reports that she was just stressed and let a little petty stuff slide.
Adira is taking time to journal and settle into her room.
Orvin connects with Adira to check in on how the day has been after an apparent rough patch when entering the dorm.
Nymeria and Esi do the dance of not asking too many questions, but trying to learn from each other. We find out that Esi has been to the school for 2 years. They both agree to have 17 questions for the next time they connect.
Eshe is being very demure, and very mindful for a moment before rejoining the party.
The party was given spidersilk umbrellas!!!
Fun fact Esi is single and NOT happy about it.
Noxolo is a necromancer enrolled at the school and may have undead coming up at some point. Eshe requests to not see those undead around the dorms if possible.
As we approach the cafeteria it is found that several summons (2 cheetah wrecking shit, and a bison)
Could you imagine, the lil babes sweep the spiritual summons without taking any damage! We are actually the coolest!
Mariama Keitana (also initiate for spire dorm) and Ignaci Canterells approach after the combat. Mariama was the summoner of the creatures, and she was meant to show off to her friend Ignaci (attendant for spire dorm)
