Ahoy!

NOTE: I'm changing one thing about how the arena works (And will be editing the first post of this thread to show it). It has come to my attention that with thousands of students and only a single arena, fitting everybody in on a single day isn't feasible, so I'm changing it so that student groups are now allowed to enter the arena once a week.

This also helps me in pacing - I was looking at how much XP a party of 4 could consistently gain using the arena once a day, and even not counting outside sources of XP from other areas of the school, you could be epic in a month! I wanted to the school to be closer to 10-20 lvls/year than 100.

ALso, Andor - I'll look over your PC sometime tonight and then post what (if any) changes need to be made before he can be introduced.

Good catch, Jemal. This is actually a problem I have with standard ongoing campaigns too. If PCs can fight their way through 3 or 4 encounters in a day, they can level far too fast for my liking.

I was under the impression that Terrance was going with Keizaan to the cafeteria, so I updated as such. If you're not going with Keizaan, post where you're heading. Also, why would you think the red-skinned man followed you?

Rathan i don't want to get on your bad side, and i know Terrance is a good kid and all, but have you noticed just how many times you described his speech as "uttered softly" "asked softly" "uttered quietly" and so forth.. He is either going to creep one out with the way he talks, or seem wrong in the head. "WHY YOU ALWAYS WHISPERING AAARGGGHH!" Too bad we don't have a Barbarian in the party

Turkish coffee. Once again raising the question of why people in hot dry climates like small, hot, sticky drinks, while people in cool, wet climates enjoy large cool drinks like beer.

LOL. Well put. Though for what it is worth, I live in a climate with hot, dry summers and cold, (somewhat wet winters. Must be why I like coffee AND beer.

I miss Jolt Cola. That stuff rocked. ;_; Stupid heart attack taking it off the market.

And coffee beans are awesome when covered in chocolate. ^^
