This is the new, in-character action thread for Whirtlestaffs, Revisited.
Here we go, then:
Classes have just let out for the summer, it's Wednesday, May 23, 2112 Y.M. The students are leaving for the summer. All except, that is, Kerlan Rayne, Human Conjurer, Xavier Zalev, Human Master Enchanter, Delunamanth ‘Tylara’ Tylarapelotheenia, Grey Elf Conjurer, Manunukso "Manny" Maliit, Brownie Transmuter, Max, Human Diviner, and Capizzio Del Collinas, Human Generalist Wizard. The six of you have no special plans for the summer, so you have decided to spend the time at Whirtlestaffs, in Kasiavael "the Skysight Realm." Kasiavael is one of two realms on an island off the Northeast coast of the mainland of the continent of Termana, the other being Ehitovael ("the Southsea Realm"). Both Kasiavael and Ehitovael have populations that are predominantly elvish, and Kasiavael is an Oligarchy whose rulers are the Council of High Magi. This realm provides a very wizard-friendly environment that was greatly favored by the founders of Whirtlestaffs.
Our six aspiring wizards have been asked by Professor Daniel J. Claret ("Jack") to deliver a gift for him to his friend, Crus. The gift is in a rectangular box made of birchwood stained a dark blue, fourteen inches by fourteen inches, and eight inches deep. Crus lives on the mainland, in the small village of Twain, which is located in Quail Valley. Professor Jack has indicated that you may take all the time that you need to perform this errand, because, he tells you, Quail Valley is a most interesting place to visit. He encourages you to spend some time there, and to be open to any, in his words, "quintessential dalliances" that may present themselves to you. Professor Jack is known on the Whirtlestaffs campus as something of a "wild" sort, so none of you are quite certain what you have gotten yourselves into by agreeing to perform this errand for him, but you are uniformly convinced that it will, if nothing else, be more fun than staying here at Whirtlestaffs all summer long, acting as lab assistants for Professor Jackamo Rubyshard.
Play begins as the group reaches the village of Pembrose on the River Wren, just at the edge of the Forest of Nin, which is just to the north of the Gaskar Hills, and is the first settlement that you have come upon in Quail Valley. You have been traveling by barge along the River Wren. As you disembark at the docks, a dock worker, in answer to your query, tells you that the nearest place to get a pint is the Lonesome Drake Inn and Brewery. "There it is, just there." The man points to a large building a couple hundred yards from where you now stand, across a road. There are a few people visible in the streets of the village, and you see the usual array of shops, but nothing extraordinary. (One more thing, allowing for your travel time, it is now Tuesday, May 29, 2112 Y.M.)
