The group of casters in the Mansion recieve a rude awakening to the reality of their situation. they are suddenly thrown upon the ground as the magical extraplanar space dissapates. Before they raise a word of protest, the sky begins to fill with color as magical energy gathers, then strikes down on the field of mages. Then, blackness.

K, lets just get this part over with. There is no applicable defense I have seen on any of your character sheets to protect you from this particular occurance. Elemental Immunity=Fail, Undead=Fail, SR=Fail, Counterspell=Fail, Teleport=Fail, Planeshift=You're out, Ect... Just go with it.

You all wake up inside a well furnished, private room. There is a note on your door congratulating you on your successful entry into the school, as well as a notice to meet in the assembly hall in your building ASAP. On the back is a map and a detailed picture of the location. The buidling seems rather small, fit for housing merely a dozen people, includes a dining hall, and the formentioned assembly hall.

Now to cover a more important topic, just for those who continue to argue on character etiquette. You guys were tasked with impressing those who witnessed your entry exams. However, none of you considered that this didn't have anything to do with spellcasting. They all knew you could cast spells. Thats why you were picked. They were scanning for personality traits and skills that demonstrated an ability and a will to overcome the barrier of the normal folks and transcend into epic. Don't worry though, you were all intended to act the way you did.
Elzmyr: You showed a brave confidence in your abilities when you stepped forward in an uncertain situation and took charge. You are assumed to be willing to doggedly march forward in your goals and not look back.
Halford Daern: You showed a calculating personality, judging your peers and analizing the situation before stepping forward. Your look before you leap attitude, paired with a fast reaction when you took up the second demonstration show that you can temper the hotheaded in your group, but will not be indeccisive when it comes to an opportunity.
Gregorius: You displayed a logical way of looking at magics, not held back by conventional morals. While leaving people such as yourself alone would be troublesome, you give a conventional group of casters a unique vantagepoint that can allow them to overcome obstacles they could not otherwise handle.
Kinslath: Skilled divine casters are a sought out commodity in this school. Not because they are more powerful than the arcane, but because they represent a unique sect of spell casting and can offer much to the table the otherside couldn't even dream of. The biggest value in this is belief, which is also their biggest downside. Divine masters are usually too caught up with their own beliefs to accept help from other sources, thinking the jump to epic is a matter of faith, rather than skill and intelligence. The very fact that you are here almost garaunteed your entrance, though a display was still required to determine if you were sincere.
Trevor: You're demonstration was fairly cliche among the ones that proceeded you, but the was one small thing that set you apart. Cleaning the dust off of your clothes revieled an obsessive compulsive aspect to your personality. A distinct attention to detail that would be very useful in your continues studies into the arcane, pending you pay it as much value as your appearance. It is assumed this is the case though, considering you are here afterall.
Nicholas: You have shown an aire of restraint, the ability to not get provoked or lose sight of your greater objective. Such patience shall be a virtue in a quest involving so many egos.
Alphina: One could consider your ruthlessness to be lumped in with Gregorius', though that would be a mistake. While his dark art requires a certain moral ambiguity, You seem to truly be willing to put your powers to the test on any within your sight. This anxiousness to pull out your powers for their "true" usage, rather than simple tests indicates a willingness to take risks, and an understanding of the true usage of destructive magical powers.
To all who question the direction of this campaign, your goal is to become epic. I can't tell you how to do it or what such a path entails. It depends on your characters and your goals. If you want to be combat mages fighting it out for superiority, go nuts. If you choose to study and craft, and generally be a peaceful member of the school, thats fine too. The exact details on how to do either method will be presented later. For now, role playing.

You got a character up in the Rogues Gallery, but you did not meet my deadline for starting posts. This is going to cause a problem since I have no intention of waiting to start any longer. So what are we going to do here? Please respond OOC.
