D&D 5E 5e Halcyon Academy

speaking with a resident Abjurer Zivar finally comes to the conclusion that the spell wasn't defective. That the protection it offers simply isn't enough to guard you from many attacks. He's learned his lesson. It helps but it's not fool proof.

OOC:
Excellent moment of learning! I can see how new mage could be fooled into feeling invulnerable :)

Grody jumps as if burned and looks around the room to see if anyone noticed... After the few looks return to their food/ales he turns back to Zivar. "Grody hides shame..." He slowly pulls down the hood of his cloak, revealing a ridge of thicker than his usual, and very vibrant, blue scales that run across the top of his snout and head, before dissapearing under his clothes. "Grody come from bad dragon."

After giving everyone at th table a look he hastily pulls the hood up and yanks it even farther over his snout.

Squirrels are evil!
 


"Don't worry, Grody. It is not your blood, but your acts that show people if you're good or not. You helped us against Bertha even when you knew what it can do. You're a sorcerer. Use the power in your blood to do good and no one, at least no one important, will question your goodness. Besides, I like blue. Here, have some mead, you're among friends now. Be proud of your heritage, not ashamed. Look at me, I'm a shameful byproduct of improper indiscretion among nobles. But I'm better for it. I get more opportunities because I'm not bound fully by their code. I have powers they can only dream about. And I am stronger, hardier and more resilient than they are. However your sires blood manifests, you're something greater than mere kobold. Live it, appreciate it and don't be afraid of others. Just of yourself. Always be vigilant against powers corruption."
Quentin stops, realizing he may have said more than he intended.
"Here's to Grody, our own Azurewrath!"

OOC: It would fit better if Azurewraith was the player of Grody, but still :D

Asherah looks a bit appalled at Mezzra’s statement. “Males are valuable for providing children to grow the clan,” she said. “We are expected to care for our males and treat them well. If we do not, they may bring a complaint against us and the matriarch might take them away and give them to a more worthy female.”

Asherah gave Korlin a sympathetic smile and put her hand on his knee, giving it a squeeze. “It just means you will work harder and your talents will be all that much more valuable to you for having done so,” she reassured him. “If you wish to practice your swordplay, I am willing to help you,” she told him. “I am learning it in the Combat School. If you can’t decide which you want to study more, ask yourself which you enjoy doing most,” she told him.

Asherah stood with Korlin and smiled. “I would love to go to the bar with you, but I am expected back at class,” she admitted, gesturing back toward the Combat School. “Already I am late. But I would love to get a drink later,” she told him. She gave him a hug. “Don’t worry. You are special and talented, or you wouldn’t be here at the Academy,” she told him before turning to walk back to the training grounds, her tail swishing behind her.

Later at the bar with the others, Asherah said, “Oh, he is so cute, Zivar! May I hold him?” She held her arms out for the cat. “I used to have one as a child, before I was sent to the palace.”

Zivar Gnome Wizard

Zivar's face scrunches up at Grody's explanation, and he nods in agreement with Quentin when he mentions how Grody helped with Bertha.

"Yes of course Asherah. I guess there is no point in warning you that his claws are sharp." Zivar smiles.
 


Dariana enters, having kinda disappeared for a few days or weeks.

Her eyes look far away and she looks twitchy, almost uncomfortable. "Bored? I've been doing nothing but training straight through. At first I liked using it as an excuse to avoid crowds... but even I grew restless. Taking tonight off."
