Message: <blockquote data-quote="UniversalMonster" data-source="post: 2519278" data-attributes="member: 1034">Osbry Keld was one of the last of the Founders that still actively taught at the Academy. New teachers and experts were brought in every year, and sometimes adventurers would come and stay as guests to give lectures or teach some of the more difficult subjects- acrobatics instruction, swordsmanship, even the finer points of teleportation magic. Osbry mostly teaches languages and a bit of lore and directed the school band. He wasn't a particularly good or popular teacher, and he tended to lapse into stories about "his adventuring days" more often than he should have. The school year hasn't officially started yet. All of you know each other only vaguely and have arrived within the last week (with the exception of Kytheria, who has been wandering around Honeymarsh since the end of last year, and has been admitted despite the fact that she cannot pay any tuition). You each have rooms within the winding central tower of the Honeymarsh Academy, and most of your gear has been delivered. Kytheria is the exception- she has a cot and a small area in the corner of the infirmary, where she has been providing her services as a healer and chaplain. Today is a field trip. It is early morning. Yarin, Arvin, Bahuman, Alek, and Kytheria are standing opposite of Osbry in a lush jungle clearing. They are gathered around a strangely petaled growth- something like a leafy mushroom- speckled in magenta and yellow with weirdly fluted vines hanging down. It was the size of a barrel. There were a few more of these strange growths scattered around the clearing. "Now then," says Osbry, leaning on his staff. "This is a special part of the wood.. can anyone guess why?"(You can make knowledge:wilderness or survival checks - or straight int. Whichever is highest.

Alek and Arvin are both pretty sure that this is a place frequented by Fey. Arvin notes the location of the mushrooms, the way the clearing is oriented, the well-tended look of the trees and grass. Alek merely notes that the fungi Aristan Sensibulus is identical to the one he saw pictured in a book he read last year that is noted to be a favorite of Fey.
