Amaya laughs too, and then speaks in the same language as Aussir and Coravin.

Draconic

"We are all strange to one another...and yet many of us can speak one another's languages."

[ishalleatyourflesh]

Aussir looks to Coravin."Why Coravin bring up kobold? Koblod nasty, stupid thing." Then to he looks at Amaya. "What are lan..gu..a..ges?" He continues with out pausing or giving any indictation of changing languages.

undercommon

"Aussir know speak. Not Lan..gu..a..ges."

He seems very confused.

[Rhun]

Amaya laughs again, and winks at Coravin. "Now whatever he said right there, I didn't understand at all."

The human, Zero, says:

Draconic

"Strange is all relative, what is strange on your home might be pure commonplace on mine, but it is interesting that we all can communicate. Maybe that's why we're in the same group?"

barely lifting his gaze from his work.

[Rathan]

Terrance looks down to assuir and smiles softly as he offers him a bit of his human trail provisions left over from his trip to the university....

In draconic Terrance speaks..."You know my little friend... we find your kind just as 'weird' as you find us" is all Terrance said and let the kobold think on that a moment...

[ishalleatyourflesh]

Aussir talks the offered rations and darts behind Amaya quickly. As he munches on the tidbit he seems to ponder this. After a moment he finishes and licking the crums from his claws he shrugs."Simply not able to understand dragon greatness Aussir guess.

[Arkhandus]

"Indeed, I hail from Faerûn. Which realm of Faerun do you hail from, Sir Jamien?" Keizaan replies. Then, looking to the others, he rasps out "And why is everyone speaking like this?" in Draconic.

[Theroc]

"Indeed, it seems the language of the Great Serpents is a common tongue for many here..." Coravin replied to the others, smiling faintly. He had thought that it would be a bit less spoken by the others, but it appeared almost everyone, if not everyone present was versed in it's use.

"As for why we're speaking this way, I believe it was Aussir who started it, so the question is best directed to him."

[GlassEye]

Cal follows along, unable to follow the conversation as it shifts between two or three different languages that he doesn't know. Finally he sighs in a bit of quiet frustration and Nettle responds with a tentative almost questioning wag of the tail. Cal absent-mindedly ruffles the fur on the wolf's broad shoulders but his attention turns to the human tinkering with some sort of device. "What is it that you are doing exactly? What is that thing? I don't think I caught your name, either..."

[Jemal]

Goran laughs at the rapid back and forth of the group "You seem to be developing quite a cameraderie, the dean does have a habit of 'accidentally' putting people together. I think you'll also find that much of the learning you'll do here will come simply from interacting with the other students, learning their ways and your differences. That is, some believe, where the true learning begins. Anyways, I'd better answer your questions, I have places to be, and I'm sure you all want to stow whatever you've brought with you before continuing your tour."

Goran turns to Coravin "If you wish to do any long term or potentially dangerous conjurations, you'll need the aproval of one of the Master Conjurers, though anything minor won't be an issue. There are many wards around the school to prevent unauthorized conjuration, so if you are wondering about anything in specific, just attempt it. If it doesn't work - well, then you'll know to contact the Masters and ask for their approval.
The library is.. an interesting place. I've been here decades and not read a tenth of a percent of what is available. In fact, I doubt even the librarian himself doesn't know how to find every book. You could get lost in the stacks for days if you didn't know where to look. I imagine there are spellbooks in there, but any easily found have likely been taken for use by other students. No harm in looking, though."

He then turns to Aussir "Ah my little Drake, you have much to learn if you wish to grow like your cousins. The greater dragons know that strength alone will not keep their scales from becoming some dragonslayers trophy. They use magic and cunning as well. They outsmart the slayers, set traps for them, and so forth."

The Ogre smiles widely and bows to the group as he excuses himself

"And if any of you do wish to speak to me further, I'm sure Miss Arin can find you a copy of my schedule."

"Gawd that guy talks a awful lot don't he? Gota admit he's smart though. Well, here we are." Arin turns a corner and you enter a large circular room which appears to have no ceiling, but the floor around the outside is covered in glowing circles of various sizes. "This's tha tower, jes step on one'a the glowin disks an say yer name - or tha name o' the person ya wanna visit - an it'll take ya t'the right room. Rooms'll only open fer their rightful owner or a teacher, so don' even think 'bout breakin inta somebody elses stuff. Allright, lunchtime soon so's y'all best drop off yer stuff an I can lead ya to the cafeteria."

[ishalleatyourflesh]

Looking left and right seeing that no on else was moving Aussir shruged and moved forward into one of the circles."Aussir Molik" And waits.

[Rhun]

Amaya pauses a moment to see what happens to the winger kobold.

[Myth and Legend]

Events seemed to suddenly overwhelm the conversation, and so Jamien had no time to discuss Faerun with the others. Although, he did want to give a piece of his mind to the Cleric - Drow were almost exclusively evil, and only those who had heard the romantic tales of bards and ministrels, were foolish enough to assume everyone of the accursed race is like Drizzt.

The young Knight was reluctant to come in contact with magic - his trip to the school via a Gate spell had cost his father a small fortune, but that did not make it any easier on the lad's stomach.

Now, with a face twisted as if he had eaten something rotten, the Knight stepped in one of the nearby circles, his left hand grasping the hilt of his longsword as if he was walking inside a monster's lair. "Jamien de Chartes", he stated with determination.

[GlassEye]

Cal didn't get his answers from the preoccupied human but that was ok; the titan, or rather the ogre as he termed himself, had given him plenty to think about. And then the arrival at the strange circular room... Determined not to be left behind Cal steps upon one of the smaller circles (commanding Nettle to follow) and firmly says, "Callistemon."

[Rathan]

Terrance Hawthorne the apprentice priest utters softly after hop-step-tripping up onto one of the glowing pads in hopes of finding his room..... looked about at the other a little hesitant of the magics of this place and smiled softly knowing that if he was meant to meet his maker here.. it would have already been a done deal.. no need to fear it really.....

[renau1g]

Unlike the others, Zero quite excitedly hops onto the circled area, smiling and studying the glyphs, nodding his agreement at their construction and design. "Zero, master craftsman" the human says, his new preoccupation being the circle.

[Jemal]

As each of the students steps onto a glowing disk and speaks their name, the disk flies upwards, spiralling around the room. The speed is not intense though, nor do you feel like you're in danger of falling off, as though some field of force were keeping you on board - and keeping the speed of your passage from ruffling your hair.

As you ascend, you notice ledges every ten feet, ringing the tower.
Each of you has stopped in front of a ledge, five feet deep with an oak door in the center, your name engraved upon it. The door opens simply on the first attempt and you find your rooms. The interior is a ten foot cube with a basic but comfortable looking bed; a single dresser; A closet; and a desk, all designed to your body size.

A moment after you enter, an obviously illusory foot tall image of the Dean appears floating above your desk, greeting you by name before adressing you in your home tongue "Welcome to your freshman room, my apologies if the accomodations seem sparse, but we have a rather large student base, and as such assign these temporary quarters to all freshmen. Once you've been here long enough and proven your capability to continue at this establishment, you will be assigned a full-time, FULL SIZE room which you will be able to decorate to your liking. Until then, consider this a test of 'making due with what you have'." The dean smiles and his image fades.

[Theroc]

Coravin spoke his name nigh last, studying the platforms to attempt to gain a grasp of the magicks employed, failing for the most part. This did of course reinforced the talent that must have existed in the creators for this place to exist.

Once in his room, Cor smiled at the mention of a test. He was used to spartan living arrangements from his days with the dwarves.

[Myth and Legend]

Jamien's stomach was twisted in a knot by the magical travel - he did not feel good if he was not carried by his own two feet, or on the back of his mount.

Having grown in a noble family, Jamien was used to luxury accommodations and spacious chambers. This however, was expected and did not bother him - he had camped with his father below the open sky more than once, and had learned the value of strong will and modesty.

The Knight decided to unpack his belongings and leave some of his extra clothes here, after which he inspected the room thoroughly. After he was done, Jamien decided to head over to the stables and check on Tempest.

Aussir quickly begins to make the room more to his likeing. He dumps his treasure in the closet, shreads the bed, topples the dresser and flips the desk. He then goes back out to the ledge and steps back on to the circle. He pauses for a moment and the shrugs as he speaks."Down?" This more a question then anything.
