[QUOTE="tglassy, post: 7025878, member: 6855204"] [sblock=Mim] Mim walks up the stairs, and on to the deck of the ship. The ship is massive. Tall masts stand with the sails rolled up, the deck itself could easily hold a thousand people with room for a banquet table. How does a ship this big even float, Mim wonders? The wood is ornate in every way, with carvings in the railings depicting mermaids, dolphins and other sea life. People of every race walk about, no one paying much attention to the Kenku who just walked out of the storage hold. Many of the people seem to be carrying belongings through a door that leads below deck. The helm of the ship is raised above the rest, and a man stands there, his arms behind his back, surveying the comings and goings. He has a hard look on his face. "Exciting, isn't it?" a voice said besides Mim. When Mim turns to see who spoke, he sees a small gnome with glasses and hair that sprouted in every direction. "Halcyon Academy's own ship, The West Wind. A marvel of architecture, wouldn't you say?"[/sblock] [sblock=Jordy] The small, rickety boat took off from the dock, the Goliath holding on to the sides so tight his knuckles turned white. As the little boat left the cove, Halcyon Academy's flagship, The West Wind came into sight. It was massive, an architectural marvel. The wood, though only wood, seemed to almost shine like gold, the masts went up forever, though the sails were rolled at the moment. The Goliath looked up in awe, "At least that one doesn't look like it'll spring a leak anytime soon..." [/sblock] [sblock=Zivar] "You will certainly have the opportunity to try!" The set a coin down on the table in front of the gnome. It is a small coin, perhaps an inch long, and is clearly made of gold. On the one side was the face of a rugged man with a beard, and on the other was a castle. "Obviously, the Academy isn't here in Llast. It's on an island. Well, it's on a number of islands. Impossible to find unless your captain knows exactly how to get there. Once there, in order to get off the boat, you have this coin. You will not be able to get off the boat without one. If the boat gets there, and you do not have this coin, no force will be able to pull you off that boat. You will be brought back here, and be offered another chance with next year's class, maybe. Do I make myself clear?" He didn't bother waiting for an answer. "Good! On to other things. No weapons, that was on the invitation, I think. No other magical items. The first thing you will be doing is your entrance exams. Need to know if you're going to be staying, and where you can stay. Don't worry, sixty percent of each incoming class makes it to at least one of the schools. That's better than half a chance! You'll be great. "Now, do you have any questions?"
