Jemals School

Events seemed to suddenly overwhelm the conversation, and so Jamien had no time to discuss Faerun with the others. Although, he did want to give a piece of his mind to the Cleric - Drow were almost exclusively evil, and only those who had heard the romantic tales of bards and ministrels, were foolish enough to assume everyone of the accursed race is like Drizzt.

The young Knight was reluctant to come in contact with magic - his trip to the school via a Gate spell had cost his father a small fortune, but that did not make it any easier on the lad's stomach.

Now, with a face twisted as if he had eaten something rotten, the Knight stepped in one of the nearby circles, his left hand grasping the hilt of his longsword as if he was walking inside a monster's lair. "Jamien de Chartes", he stated with determination.
 

Cal didn't get his answers from the preoccupied human but that was ok; the titan, or rather the ogre as he termed himself, had given him plenty to think about. And then the arrival at the strange circular room... Determined not to be left behind Cal steps upon one of the smaller circles (commanding Nettle to follow) and firmly says, "Callistemon."
 

Terrance Hawthorne the apprentice priest utters softly after hop-step-tripping up onto one of the glowing pads in hopes of finding his room..... looked about at the other a little hesitant of the magics of this place and smiled softly knowing that if he was meant to meet his maker here.. it would have already been a done deal.. no need to fear it really.....
 

Unlike the others, Zero quite excitedly hops onto the circled area, smiling and studying the glyphs, nodding his agreement at their construction and design. "Zero, master craftsman" the human says, his new preoccupation being the circle.
 

As each of the students steps onto a glowing disk and speaks their name, the disk flies upwards, spiralling around the room. The speed is not intense though, nor do you feel like you're in danger of falling off, as though some field of force were keeping you on board - and keeping the speed of your passage from ruffling your hair.

As you ascend, you notice ledges every ten feet, ringing the tower.
Each of you has stopped in front of a ledge, five feet deep with an oak door in the center, your name engraved upon it. The door opens simply on the first attempt and you find your rooms. The interior is a ten foot cube with a basic but comfortable looking bed; a single dresser; A closet; and a desk, all designed to your body size.

A moment after you enter, an obviously illusory foot tall image of the Dean appears floating above your desk, greeting you by name before adressing you in your home tongue "Welcome to your freshman room, my apologies if the accomodations seem sparse, but we have a rather large student base, and as such assign these temporary quarters to all freshmen. Once you've been here long enough and proven your capability to continue at this establishment, you will be assigned a full-time, FULL SIZE room which you will be able to decorate to your liking. Until then, consider this a test of 'making due with what you have'." The dean smiles and his image fades.
 

Coravin spoke his name nigh last, studying the platforms to attempt to gain a grasp of the magicks employed, failing for the most part. This did of course reinforced the talent that must have existed in the creators for this place to exist.

Once in his room, Cor smiled at the mention of a test. He was used to spartan living arrangements from his days with the dwarves.
 

Jamien's stomach was twisted in a knot by the magical travel - he did not feel good if he was not carried by his own two feet, or on the back of his mount.

Having grown in a noble family, Jamien was used to luxury accommodations and spacious chambers. This however, was expected and did not bother him - he had camped with his father below the open sky more than once, and had learned the value of strong will and modesty.

The Knight decided to unpack his belongings and leave some of his extra clothes here, after which he inspected the room thoroughly. After he was done, Jamien decided to head over to the stables and check on Tempest.

Aussir quickly begins to make the room more to his likeing. He dumps his treasure in the closet, shreads the bed, topples the dresser and flips the desk. He then goes back out to the ledge and steps back on to the circle. He pauses for a moment and the shrugs as he speaks."Down?" This more a question then anything.
