"Alright now, get ready!  I look forward to seeing you at Halcyon's gates!"The door groaned as it opened of its own accord, flooding sunlight into the room.  Outside its doors you can see that you are in a chapel on a hill, overlooking a vast forest.  You can see the Academy to the north, the central spire high in the sky, but it is a good three days walk away, and that would be if there was a road, which there isn't.  To the west is a mountain, and you can see a river snaking from east to west between you and the School.  The forest is beautiful, a place that bristles with magic and mystery.  A sense of excitement flows over the candidates as they see the Academy, but also a sense of foreboding.  [ooc]Here's how it will work.  Everything you do is graded by me.  Each school has a category.  Every time you do something that pertains to one of the categories, I will either award or subtract points.  If the group attempts something together, I will award or subtract points based on how you participated.  Providing support for something that someone else did counts as doing it, as long as your support was crucial to the success.I will not tell you what categories there are, though you can probably surmise.  I won't tell you when you gained or lost a point.  Point tallies will be hidden, and no one will know how they are doing until the end.  Failing something doesn't automatically mean a point is lost.  Succeeding doesn't automatically mean one was gained.  In the end, you will need a certain number of points in a given category to get entrance into that school.  This is also how much of the classroom system will work one in the school.  You will never know how many point you have accumulated for each category.  We will deal with death as we come across it.If you have any questions, go to the OOC.  Let's play![/ooc]</blockquote>
