"An "Intelligentsia" has a nice ring to it. A few of my peers have bandied that title around in our recent correspondace. It indicates the title holder to be a member of society's intellectual elite.

Intelligentsia, hmmm? Perhaps it would be better to finish your education at the Academy before using that. Just because the Academy was destroyed hundreds of years ago and is overrun by undead, doesn't mean it has finished teaching. Well I have to putting my old bones to bed. Grimwald, Velsouvous you both worship different gods, but perhaps you would like to spend the night in prayer? We have a shrine that is very close to the celestial realms, you may gain some benfit or knowledge therin...
Both priests agree and after helping father Lux up they escort him from the guest cavern. As they leave he begins a lecture on the celestial realms, using very simple words.
Keria flops into a cot and falls instantly asleep, while Lareth remains, eventually he gets a little impatient with the talk " Since I don't sleep, Im going to go have a look at the area around the tunnels and perhaps even the surface. I will see you all later. "
Mero [sblock] I dont mean to cut off conversation, but how late are you going to stay at the guest cavern? Do you have your Inn set up to run without you? and for how long? what spells do you have now and what are you planning on memorizing for the morning? As a hint, staying the night would be more interesting than going home
about the academy- its walls can still teach, but you have to fight off waves of undead to learn. There are six remaining buildings and you have prolly been there, its up to you how many of them you studied. [/sblock]

"Of course Father, of course." Mero says to humor him. Overcome by a yawn, Mero says. "Oh my, I am tired. I have been on my feet since dawn seeing to the guests at my inn. I put the head chef in charge until my return, never fret! I am well prepared for our journey! I will rest here and be ready to go at any hour." Smiling he stakes out a corner of the room. Slapping the palms of his hands together and pulling them apart, he summons his bed roll and settles down. Before lying down, he withdraws a small black bat from beneath his robe and releases it to fly up into the ceiling to hunt for insects.
As he lies on the ground, Mero thinks about Father Lux's parting words. Ah, the academy. What secrets still lie on the dusty old scrolls there. Magical power? Divine secrets? The perfect brew? Yes, I would like to go there except for those pesky undead. Perhaps... Perhaps I can convince these dragon hunters to clear out some of those creatures after this dragon business. What could be more important than learning the secrets still held there?
Smiling to himself, Mero turns over a few perfectly logical arguements that will no doubt convince his new companions to abandon their plans and accompany him once they see how much sense it makes.

Mero will stay the night as he doesn't want the group to leave without him. His familiar will hunt for half the night before returning to him to rest. I figure the chef can run the place for at least a week before more supplies and bookkeeping need to be handled.
I'll post spells for the day in SBlock's every morning.
Spells:
0/Level - 4/day
Resistance, Detect Magic, Message, Ray of Frost
1/Level - 5/day
Magic Missile x2, Silent Image, Orb of Cold-Lesser, Mage Armor
2/Level - 4/day
Scale Weakening, Scorching Ray(Electricity), Scorching Ray(Fire), Resist Energy
3/Level - 3/day
Fireball(Electricity), Magic Circle Vs Evil, Resist Energy(Prep'd in higher slot)
Is the academy relatively close? How much do I know about its history and destruction? Mero would likely be interested in gleaning a few secrets and magic items, after all if his new companions can clean up a dragon they can handle a few pesky skeletons...
However I think someone mentioned they wanted to follow the man from the ship, so we'll have to see.

After a long grueling journey through the Primary tunnel system. The glowing fungus remains about at the same level of illumination. The town streets seem empty, but you get directions to the guest cavern, and the shrine of the high priest, who might be able to help you with your nightmares. Where are you headed?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grimwald
You are following father Lux towards a shrine. You remember something that happened only this morning.
You have a bad dagger. Velsouvous didn’t want it. It was stuck in some critter. It looked like good magic, but it was bad.
Its from a tooth and has a funny mark scratched by the handle. It feels bad to hold.
OOC: (gained one temporary negative level) and the joys of a 6 int.
You wanted to ask the high priest about this.....
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The guest cavern
It has been a long day, and the beds look comfortable. Soothing sounds of water over rocks drifts from the bathing area, on the north end of the cavern. There are a number of coffers and you can store your gear in, and four beds on the east and west walls. Keria fell asleep near the enterance. the cavern is 80 x 25 ft, with a empty pen for animals at the south end near the entrence and a bathing pool on the north end of the cavern. The pool has privacy screens, and more screens can be rearanged if you wish. (Mero are you in a corner near the pen or the pool?)
Are you doing anything else before falling asleep?
You all dream of Dragons – vivid images of shimmering red/brass scales and heat.

Aphram doesn't even comment upon the sleeping conditions, he's had worse. He chats idly with Lalreth about the upcoming hunt, while checking the edge on his blade and the point of his arrows. Eventually he unrolls his bedroll and lays on his back, quickly asleep, although you could swear his eyes flickered open here and there.
The dreams were always about dragons and this night was no exception, he awoke with that lean and hungry look, and broke open a set of rations.

Mero settles down near the entrance so he will be awoken by anyone trying to leave without him. He tosses and turns, his sleep disrupted by dark dreams.

Gerryt walks skittishly through the caverns, heading for the high priest's temple...forever searching for someone who may know what is happening to him when he sleeps...
Gerryt stumbles into the Shrine and approaches the first person there he sees, standing a little closer than is socially acceptable, and says with a smile on his face and desperation in his eyes, "Help me...I need to see the High Priest...I was told he...might know something...might have something that could help me. Where is he?"
