Ellaria becomes distressed when her party mates start bickering over the weapons. "Please, this is our employer we're talking about here! If we can't trust even her right-hand man, then we should just turn around and go home. Let's just get in and get this situation sorted out. Then we can reclaim our weapons and continue bashing heads all over the streets of Strivvi." Ellaria hands over her weapons to Purple as well.

OoC: Only vaguely. "Ah, of course! This is the one with the creepy statues that came alive! Yes, we can talk more inside."

"I apologize, Purple, but my friends here are more inclined to the "smash through things"-kind of tactics instead of the stealthiness of your trade. But if you are sure we are better off without our weapons, then we will give them to you." Ellaria turns to the others and gives them a meaningful look. "Aren't we, boys and Nyx?" "But please remind me, Purple, what exactly are we looking for within this house?"

I know. They are going to get answered, but it's just that answering them is a whole lot more work than I anticipated, because I need to read back on past quests to make sure that I don't screw up anyone's NPCs, make up gifts to match what was given up, etc. Combined with the fact that I'm going through a phase of being unmotivated towards this game (especially when compared to the countless other things I could be doing in my spare time), the event has been prolonged way too long. I still have about twenty letters to answer to... Looking back, I really should have limited the amount of letters that could be sent to one per person, but there's no use crying over spilt milk. I will get to them soon.

"Purple?" Ellaria asked, not having recognized the man at first. "You've changed out of your uniform, it seems. We are ready to hear the current status quo in this city. I'm afraid we just made it somewhat worse, unfortunately."

"YOUR LACK OF DIRECTIONAL SENSE BAFFLES ME, ZOMBIEMAN. I STAND GUARD ON ALL FOUR WALLS OF THE ATRIUM. NOBODY ENTERS THROUGH ME." The bottles contain ink, just as Erik suspected. Peeking through the small window on the door, Erik can see another hallway. "That door leads to the foyer of the Auditorium." Much to his disappointment, the pinkish book is just an arithmetics schoolbook. Heckz realizes that the books on the shelves are organized in a color sequence, so he puts four of the books on the tables as well as the one he found on the corridor to their correct places. He then reaches for the unmatching brown book, but then pulls his hand away in shock. The eye on the cover of the book has opened, gleaming red. Slowly the book rises from the table, emitting the same eerie red light as the one they saw in the Taxidermy Storage. The book starts to recite in a lyrical female voice. "Saga is my name, and stories are my game. I'm as old as ages, and if you leaf through my pages, it might be that you find some people in a bind. A, B, C, D, all caught inside me, entrapped in a tale up until they will fail. They will have no happy ending, their souls I shall be rending. But there is no need to debate, for you all will share their fate!" The red light bursts into a blinding brightness, and when it fades, the library is empty again. "I'M SO ENVIOUS OF YOU, SAGA. MY FACE FOOLS NO ONE, WHILE YOU GET ALL THE SOULS WITH YOUR HARMLESS-BOOK-ON-THE-TABLE ACT!" "Watch and learn, my friend. You will get it in the end." ~THE QUEST CONTINUES IN PRIVATE!~

Karie takes the magnifying glass (Allows the user to see trap triggers; tool.) off the table, before turning to speak to the door. "I'M THE ONE AND THE SAME! WHAT YOU SEE IS JUST A DIFFERENT SIDE OF MY LACQUERED GOURGEOUSNESS. AND NO, YOU STILL CANNOT PASS THROUGH ME." Thalion sees five books of varying colors on the table. They all look like schoolbooks. He then reaches on to the top of the other shelf and takes the old oil lamp. Professor Hawke leans to take a closer look. "How did that get here? Never seen anything like that around here... Wouldn't touch that if I were you, who knows what might pop out." Magic Lamp?

Ellaria sighs as he sees the dark-clad man staring down at them. "You saw what happened to the other people who tried to step on our way. Surely you are not as dumb as them? Just tell us what you want so we can all be on our way."

Heckz pokes the book carefully, and when he's made sure it won't suddenly assault him, picks it up. It is indeed just a schoolbook with turquoise covers, teaching the basics of alchemy. Turquoise Schoolbook He then leads the others through the door and into the library. The room is empty and nothing seems to be out of ordinary... ...except that the door on the western wall, the one leading into the Atrium, has a familiar face on it. "HELLO AGAIN!"

QM Note: Argh, I have to skip another day, I'm afraid. My real-life friends and activities are eating up all my free time! Tomorrow we'll continue, for sure! I'm so sorry...

Ellaria blushes. "I haven't really been hanging out in any bars, save for Scheherazade's Saloon... I've always thought cursing was unbecoming of clerics, I guess." Ellaria then downs a Grand Tonic to replenish her ether and then leads the party up the stairs. Loot division: Atramor - Nostrum, 12 gold Boomingham - Hair of the Dog, Deadly Venom, 12 gold Ellaria - Obsidian Spear x7, Knife x5, Cutlass x2, Spear x2, Handaxe (all to be sold later), Phoenix Essence, Silver Anvil Voucher, 12 gold Nyx - Tonic, Darksteel Dagger, 12 gold Skrall - Mead, 12 gold

The second door leads into a narrower corridor with only one door on the opposite end. There is a solitary book lying flat in the middle of the floor. "That door leads into the library. That's like the most boring place in this whole school." "[indeed, upon my death I had to leave my pride and joy - this Academy - to incompetent hands! That is why I did not allow myself to pass on, but rather remained here to keep a check on things. There is awful little a ghost can do, I came to find much to my chagrin. As for what is currently happening, it is the fault of that stranger. He marched in early in the morning, walked into the Atrium and suddenly the whole school was whisked away along with everyone inside it. Then demons and other spirits of the Void started to flood in through every crook and cranny.]" "This is actually wicked cool, fighting alongside you guys.

OoC: Sorry for the crappy battle order, but the chances to defeat the bastard were near zero, anyway. Ellaria stomps her foot in frustration. "Ooh! Can you believe the audacity of that man?! He sent all these men and women to their deaths, then fled like a coward, blaming us for his own actions? I don't understand how anyone would follow such a... a... poophead!" She breathes deeply a few times, then focuses on the pile of loot. "Alright, does anyone want dips on anything? We should sell the spears the first chance we get and split the gold."

Sorsha's kick has no effect on the sturdy door. Heckz's spells leave it both charred and wet but do not open it. He is just 2 ether poorer. Erik can hear faint whispers from the other side of the door, but nobody answers. "NOT ANYMORE. SOME ROGUES TRIED TO PICK A FIGHT WITH ME ONCE. THEY HAVEN'T DONE IT AGAIN!" "Hence we call her the Savage." "[Pish-posh! I communicate with you through this statue because I choose to.

It is Heckz's turn to dodge the chair. "GYAAAHHH!!! DON'T TRY TO DECEIVE ME WITH GOOD LOOKS, DEMON!!!" "Guys, it's no use! Sorsha's a barbarian. She's in a frenzy now, so we must find a way to calm her down. I suggest strong sedatives." "Bruhahaha! Both, I've heard."

"Let us finish this farce", Ellaria grumbles as she repeats her actions. The battle order remains the same.

Flare had plans for a quest for the newcomers, but I haven't heard from him for a while. Cutcobra is also preparing to host a quest. And of course there's Flipz's "upcoming" quest...

Thalion's words seem to have no effect on the girl. As the elf tries to inspect the skeletons, Sorsha swings the chair at him, missing just barely. Thalion is forced to step back. "GYAAAHHH!!! I WILL SMASH YOU, DEMONS!!!" The statue gives Karie a subtle wink. "That's the statue of the founder of this academy, Bohring the Enlightened. They say he was true to his name."

The plans for Quest#100 are ready. It's going to be a major one, delving into the history of everyone's least favorite witch. Just need three more quest pitches posted before it, so keep them coming...

"Nope. We started out on the second floor, remember?" The heroes decide to head downstairs, where Señor Calacas is still hanging around. "¡Hola! ¿Qué tal? Back so soon?" Ignoring the bonecrafter, the party heads to the East Wing. There they come across a sweaty, heavily panting beast holding up a chair. Upon closer inspection, they realize that the beast is actually a young woman, albeit far from the fair maidens they've come across thus far. Several skeletons lay lifeless around her. The girl turns to the party, glaring them defiantly, as if challenging them to a battle. "COME ON!!! I DARE YOU!!!" "Uh-oh! Sorsha the Savage has gone berserk!" What will the party do?
