"Were that the case, the chances are we'd be have been in some way punished upon arrival, to be oppressed at every ample opportunity and downtrodden much as a lesser demon is subjugated by a greater, and only those who managed to trick their oppressor into oppression by a greater entity would acquire any measure of freedom..."

Zero has pulled out his implement from his back and is making modifications to the small metal piece that sticks out the top. He lines it up with his eye, than shakes his head and tinkers some more, silently following the group.

[Jemal]

"Should be at tha rooms soon." Arin turns a corner as you continue talking, and when Coravin asks about the rules again, she turns but is interupted.

"The Rules are the same as for any civilization. Don't steal, don't murder, etcetera. If you do, don't get caught. But you will get caught.. unless you are very good. These rules do not exist for any moral or ethical reasons - at least, not here in the school - Merely to keep order. Our Mister Priscus is very fond of Order.. what little is possible in such an environment as this." The speaker is a 7' tall ogre, his voice rough but his words well spoken. "Good day, Arin, I see you got Guide duty." He grins and extends his gigantic hand to the nearest student "My name is Mr Goran, I am a teacher here. As to the specifics on rules, we have one big one - Don't pick fights with people in a different class, and if you do pick a fight with someone, try to resolve it in the arena. Mr Priscus frowns upon having to clean blood out of the hallways and won't repay stupidity with ressurection. Where there any specific things you were wondering about whether the rules covered or not?"

[Myth and Legend]

Jamien reluctantly placed his mail clad palm in the strong grip of the otherwise eloquent Ogre. "I am Jamien de Chartes, it is a pleasure Mr. Goran. What do you teach here? I should hope to have the opportunity to spar with one of your size."

The boy Knight was of very strong body despite his young age, but somehow he felt that if the Ogre wanted to, he could have crushed his hand to goo. That thought stayed in the lad's head for only a moment, before a more pressing matter made him speak up again.

"Am I to understand that fights and acts of aggression are not uncommon between students of the same age? Must I be on guard as if I was camping on the battlefield?"

[Rhun]

Amaya simply smiles at the ogre-professor. She was certain that she would see many wild and wonderous things at the school, and she was quite excited about the prospects.

[Jemal]

The Ogre chuckles at Jamien's comments and question "Only if you make a habit of angering others. Rash individuals who seek to disrupt things by getting into constant fights don't tend to last long here, but when two students do have a... difference of opinion.. well, those who come here do tend towards competetiveness, and such differences could be solved in a variety of ways - physical altercations being one. His grip is light as he shakes the knight's hand. "As to sparring, I'm afraid I'll have to pass - I am a scholar, not a fighter, despite my appearance. In fact, the class I teach is on overcoming preconceptions and.. how did that man put it.. 'not judging a book by its cover'. If you wish though, I have a cousin who teaches unarmed combat. Not a very eloquent fellow(He's only half ogre), but a good teacher nonetheless."

[Myth and Legend]

Jamien nodded with a reddened face. He did not expect the Ogre to be a scholar, and now felt like an idiot to assume solely on his appearance and race. "I would be grateful, although it seems that I would need to attend your lectures as well."

[Theroc]

"Are the any regulations upon conjurations and summoning? I tend to do a good bit of that during lulls in my research, examining different traits to see what information I can glean from the planes from such creatures. Also, are there books in the library which details additional spells for an eager mind to make use of?"

Coravin paced his questions a bit slower this time, taking a small pause after the first to allow the question to filter into the minds of his guide and this teacher. He smiled faintly at the scene between the Knight and the ogre, the chivalrous knight making himself appear ignorant to the present company. It was ironic, no?

[ishalleatyourflesh]

Aussir looks up at Mr Goran from between his feet."What good scholar be? No strength means no right. Strong best." The kobold pauses and stares at him for a moment.

"Mr. Goran talk funny."

[Rhun]

Amaya shakes her head in wonderment. "Well I for one can't wait to learn what this place has in store for us." She smiles at her newfound friends, and infectious smile that makes those around her smile too. "Think of all that there is to learn here? It will be grand."

"Yes indeed-y." Zero says, not looking up from his weapon, "It's nice to be meeting you sir, I am quite excited at the prospect of studying at such an illustrious institution such as this."

Amaya is confused when Zero doesn't look up but then seems to be responding to her. "Did you just refer to me as a "sir", or were you speaking to Mr. Goran?" She gives a short laugh.

Aussir finds quikly finds his self beside Amaya, looking confused on how he got there him self."Why Amaya laugh? Sir re..spect..ful' Aussir stumbles over the word." Way to add..re..sssss. Is not good?" He seems completly uncertine on that just happened.

[Arkhandus]

"I too look forward to improving my skills and knowledge here. I have heard much from former students in Baldur's Gate. And it is, uh, nice to meet you, Mister Goran. I am Keizaan Malzurak," the usually-silent, lightly-armored young warrior says, shaking the ogre's hand. He looks a bit incredulous that an ogre is a scholar, but then, he's never heard of such a thing in Faerûn.

[Rathan]

woooww... an intelligent Ogre.. wait till father hears about this... Amazing.. Terrance said aloud but more meant to keep those words in-head then outspoken.... he looked the ogre up and down a moment with astonishment in his eyes as he began writing once more.... "So Mr Goran... if I came to you later.. could you give me a bit of time to jot down some old stories of yours... I'm more than interested to know how one of your race, known for power and vengeance, came to such peaceful and intellectual crossroads... I'm sure it will be a most fascinating story..." the apprentice priest added as he seemed more like a reporter than a student at the moment....

[Myth and Legend]

Jamien's interest was peaked. "Keizaan, you are from Faerun? I had hoped to meet others from our fair land. Well apart from Drow of course. You say you hail from Baldur's Gate?"

[Rathan]

Terrance looked to Jamien with wide eyes of misunderstanding... "My knightly friend... you misunderstand the drow... it would be for us a bear looking into our society.... misnomers and misunderstanding is exactly why the drow have gotten a bad name.. I'm SURE there are some out there out only to do evil and unjust things... but I have read MANY historical texts about your land here... and some DO include the some good notations on the good some drow have done for your land as well... you should as Mr Goran said... never judge a book by it's cover... not even the darkest of covers..." Terrance uttered softly... why he felt he needed to make this contradiction he was not sure but the knowledge just spilled from his mouth like a fountain and he just felt he needed to share it...

[Rhun]

"A veritable battleground of learning," says Amaya studies as she listens to the knowledgable young priest speak.

As Aussir speaks, she looks down at the kobold and smiles. "Don't worry my strange friend. I just found Zero's words humorous. It has been my experience that humor is not a concept that transcends racial boundaries easily."

[ishalleatyourflesh]

Aussir scratches his head then shrugs"Okay" He then starts to wander through the group, sniffing or proding people and their belongings.

Coravin laughs lightly, before replying, in the same tongue.

Many humans would say the same of Dragons and Kobolds, Aussir...
