The girls look at each other, and begin to laugh. "What would you know about that, gramps? You don't look pure at all." "No way, you're downright filthy, tehehe!" "Aww, come on! Let us through, won't you? We need to give ourselves to the Hallowed One, like, desperately!"

"Ever since we first saw the light!" "...Which was like a couple of hours ago." The three girls gasp in unison. "What are you insinuating?! The Hallowed One chose us for our absolute purity!" "We have never let our bodies be smeared by a sinful touch!" "Fondling doesn't count, right?" "Haley!!!" Unhindered by the party, the three girls walk through the door and into the corridor. They start heading towards the Entrance Hall. "This way, faithful followers!"

"You're silly!" "Only the Hallowed One can deem you impure. We don't judge anyone, we've only been chosen as guides." "Our example will show everyone that trusting your life into the hands of the Hallowed One is the only way!"

One of the girls points to a window and the empty whiteness outside. "The Hallowed One lives there, in the light. It chose to bless us, for we are pure." "We only need to walk into the light, and our souls will live forever!" "Isn't that great?!" "The Hallowed One hates the tarnished ones. Those who have revelled in mortal pleasures and become filled with sin." The girl called Vanessa approaches Sorsha. "Ah, Sorsha! You are untouched by men, am I right? Won't you join us?" The barbarian girl's face turns deep red. "HOW DO YOU KNOW I'M UNTOUCHED?! I HAVE PLENTY OF EXPERIENCE!!!" "Yeah, with sheep..." Noel chuckles by himself. "Demons? What are you talking about?" "We've been in here praying this whole time!" "The Hallowed One, it spoke to us. Told us to wait for you, and then lead you into the light." "Come, everyone! Let us end all suffering together!" The girls begin to move towards the door.

The heroes enter the next door to the left. It takes them to a classroom filled with religious symbols and statues. Three girls are kneeling in the middle of the floor, facing each other and mumbling something reminiscent of a prayer. Then they open their eyes, and an eerie white light emanates from their eyes. "The time has come!" they gasp in unison. "Umm, w-w-what time?" "Time to make the ultimate sacrifice, of course!" "Time to give our lives for the Hallowed One and become martyrs whose names will be remembered forever!" "Won't you join us? Come, let us step into the light and meet the Hallowed One!" "Hmm, but do you think they will be accepted, Vanessa?" "Haley is right, they might not be pure like us." "Oh, that might be a problem, Deb. The Hallowed One shuns impurity." The three students stand up and gaze at the party with their shining eyes, as if they were evaluating them.

The first door on the right after leaving the classroom is the door at the end of the corridor, leading to the stairs where they fought the ghosts. "Why would we go up again?"

Erik finally manages to get the parts together correctly, and gains some experience for it. Laterna Magica (Pierces through enchanted darkness, causing blindness to whoever it hits at the cost of 1 ether) Drucilla takes hold of the lantern. "Do you mind that I carry this myself, Mr. Bru... eh, Heckz? I'd hate to see it in pieces again. Where to now?"

Ellaria raised an eyebrow. "What are you up to now, father dear? Very well, let us go." Before departing, she turned to shout at Purple. "Take good care of our rockling friend, you hear!"

Ellaria thanks the green-haired lady, a little miffed that she didn't even introduce herself. She then rounded up everyone in the party. "It looks like we should head to the market district tomorrow, but we still have some time to spend. We could check out the harbor for the stolen ship and the treacherous captain, if you guys still feel up for it. Or should we just call it a night?"

QM Note: There are no "illegal" connections used in the build. None of the combinations the party tries out are working. Heckz turns to ask Krasch about the lantern, but notices that the orcish student has slipped away. "I-I-I'm sorry, I don't think the G-Gr-Greenies want to hang around me..." Drucilla consumes an Ether Core and spends 20 more ether to refresh her memory. "Hmm, now I remember that each pair of similar pieces - the round pieces, the discs, the spiders and the crystals - were on the opposite sides of the cube... and both discs were attached to the cube by a round piece.

"I meant same or similar pieces." Thalion doesn't get it right this time either.

Since Thalion's attempt is unsuccessful, the party decides that Drucilla should use 30 ether to get an inkling what the lantern is supposed to look like. "Hmm, let me focus... Ah, I remember now that there was something attached to each side of the cube... Yes, and no two similar pieces touched each other... I also recall that the forked bar was a handle that a person could hold on to. That's it, I'm afraid."

It doesn't, but without hints you might be stuck with it for a loooooong time.

How is it a conflict? Do you mean whether to use it or not? You just have to trust your Friendly Neighborhood QM. On purpose.

None of the heroes' attempts lead into a working result. Maybe some hints are in order...? "T-there's countless of people like that working for my f-f-father, Miss. What comes to Ly, he was in the same c-cl-class as me, but h-he didn't get c-c-caught in the f-fire. He t-tried to help us, but then he s-s-said he would go get help from the Faculty Office. He n-n-never came b-back."

Sorrow's second attempt doesn't work, either. "That looks way off."

QM Note: Nice try. "Like an intricate lantern, that's all I remember. Sorry, my mind is a bit rattled right now. I cannot picture exactly what it looked like in my mind, but if I used some ether, I might be able to focus better."

Sorrow tries to assemble the pieces, but the end result did not work. "Hmm, it's not quite right, but not a bad attempt, either."

The five students with no battle skills cram inside the big box. Before the lid is closed, Hél turns to Noel. "If you die on me, I'll be super pissed. Just so you know." "Holy shit, Hél! You don't know how happy it makes me to hear that." The nôrn smirks at Noel, and disappears under the lid. Noel concentrates extra hard on performing the sending properly. The emptied box returns soon after, and Heckz leads the party into the Magic Classroom. They find a scared orcish student inside. Somehow seeing Professor Eldritch makes the boy panic even more. "Waah! Gods help Krasch! Missus Eldritch, Krasch didn't do it on purpose!!!" "What exactly didn't you do on purpose, Krasch?" Drucilla asked, squinting. Then she saw pieces scattered on the floor and covered her eyes with her hand. "Krasch, did you break the lantern on my desk?" "Umm, not on purpose... Krasch got scared and tripped! Honest!" Drucilla walked to the remains of Laterna Magica. "Well, now all we have to do is repair a priceless ancient relic. Sounds peachy, doesn't it?" QM Note: Whoever puts the parts together correctly gets extra experience. Drucilla can give you hints through her Ancient Wisdom-trait, but each hint costs 10 ether for her.

Ellaria nods politely. "Then I want to wish happiness to both of you. It is our group's intention to make this city a bit better place in the near future. If you can hint about any resources we might use to fight off the rising criminal lords of the Wolfgang from this city, we would be very grateful."

"N-no, Ly thinks all these s-student factions are s-s-silly. B-but I like hanging out with the other F-f-foureyes." "My apologies.

Nuitan backs away. "N-no! I don't w-w-want to leave yet. I need to find Ly... my f-f-friend. I c-c-can help you look." "Mr. Brutenhal is right, Mr. Shadeaux. This is not a safe place to linger, and gods forbid if you were to die here - your father the Count would tear down the city brick by brick to find out why. I hate to say this, but in the list of students to protect, you and Lyren Hinckwell are the top three priority, being secondary heirs to two of the Six Houses in Power."

The cyclops waves his hand nonchalantly and walks back to the Entrance hall. The first floor of the West Wing has three doors on the south side and four on the north side, as well as the doors at each end that the party have already walked through.
