Arin chuckles at the exchange at poor Jamiens expense, even smacking Terrance playfully on the shoulder when he makes his blunt statement, and bursting into full laughter at Aussir's speech. Once she has control again, she shakes her head and adresses the issues of the Arena again Back to the point.. When new students come in the older ones usually try to keep the schedule fairly clear for a day or two to give all of you new bloods a chance to try it out. The group in there right now was probably taking advantage of the lull between arrivals. Besides, I'm on pretty good terms with the Keeper, so... Excuse me a moment." Arin winks to the group and moves to follow Jamien. As an afterthought, she stops and puts a hand on Cal's shoulder "And if you wish to learn the language, there are several Linguistic classes I can help you sign up for later."
As Jamien approaches the door, the robed man glides forward, greeting him telepathically - It is not in words, but Jamien understands perfectly - the Keeper wants to know his purpose here. Once Jamien tells him of their intention to join up, the Keeper holds a hand over a nearby podium, upon which rests a large book. His cowled head turns to regard Jamien, who understands that he wishes to know who will be participating. Jamien also receives a few mental images. In his mind he sees first a barren plains, and pack of vicious looking wolves; then a road through the woods, with green-skinned forms hiding in the trees; a dark dungeon filled with spiders, and finally a vision of an open arena, surrounded by specators, with two armed men waiting to do battle.
Before Jamien can respond, Arin's hand is on his shoulder "He wants you to pick a different starting encounter for each team. Any further encounters you have in the same session will be chosen by the Keeper." She looks at the Keeper for a moment, and the knight can sense a telepathic raport between them. "And he's willing to squeeze the teams in within the next hour." She smiles warmly at the Keeper, who nods then turns back to Jamien for his response.

I need Jamien to state, for the record, which members are in which team, and what starting encounter each team will be facing. Also, which team goes first (Apologies but I will only be running a single 'fight scene' at a time... unti the second arena is finished. The rest of you will have to continue with the (Awesome, btw) roleplaying while you watch/wait.
