Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fangor the Fierce" data-source="post: 5673986" data-attributes="member: 17100">[say]You will meet the trainers today, for they will be the ones you deal with on a daily basis.  You have already met Ferro, who is second in command here.  While I am gone, he is in charge.  He also is the head arcane master here at the Academy.Then there is Baylen.  He's a large guy with the ritual tattoos all over, due to his heritage.  Giant blood courses through his veins.  You will know him when you see him.  He is the head melee combat master.For ranged combat, you will be instructed by Eralni.  She's a bit blunt, but knows what she's doing.  I must warn you, we accept all manners of students.  Racial tensions will be put to the test at times, but know this; there will be no tolerance for acts of cruelty.  Eralni is drow, and though her kin are known as evil and malicious, she has proven not to follow in their ways.  She has earned my trust, and I hope that you will treat them both with the respect they have earned.They are the head trainers.  There are others, and once they return, you will be introduced to them.[/say]As Maximo finishes, the door is knocked upon and opened from outside.  You spy a female drow enter, yet the sunlight behind her has gone away.  It was sunny outside, yet something is blocking out the brightness.  You see the darkness move, as a towering figure leans underneath the doorway to enter behind the drow.  He stands easily eight feet tall with stoney grey eyes focused on you all.  His head is decorated with various dark lines on his stonelike flesh.  He wears stitched hide armor with fur lined padding underneath.  His arms are also covered in the same runic lines as his head.  He does not carry any weapon, or seem to have need of one with his sheer size.  His face is devoid of emotion.The drow wears a dark green cloak with en etched design along the whole edge.  Her glowing amber eyes are devoid of any hint at feelings, as she simply glances at the group, and then turns her attention to Maximo.   Her black hair hangs loosely beneath the hooded cloak and her pale blue skin seems unblemished.  Slung on her back is a dark colored bow, with blue runes on both ends. These must be Eralni and Baylen, the head trainers.<img src="http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a206/dpuentes77/Stonefist%20Academy/Eralni.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /><img src="http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a206/dpuentes77/Stonefist%20Academy/Baylen.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> [say]You have need of us, Maximo?[/say] the drow asks, waiting for Maximo's reply. Maximo answers, [say]Yes, these are the new students.  Olek, Miranda, Ararion, Leilani, Lune, Silvas and Daelyn.  They have each pledged their agreement to the Academy's terms.  I know that we have just finished the ceremonies, and today is supposed to be a day off, but perhaps we can see just how the new students work together as a team.  I am sure that you would be interested in seeing just what their strengths and weaknesses are, am I right?[/say] Ferro's eyes light up, as he quickly speaks up.  [say]A test then!  Their first one!  I can take care of this, and we can all see just how they do with their first task.  Old man Ghentir sent a messenger this morning.  I was heading here to speak to you about it when I spotted them in the entryway.  Seems he has some trouble over on his farm just outside of town to the south.  Something ate a sheep and then ran off with another one.  I figured we would have to take care of it, since the students are not in session today, but I guess Lady Luck has shown these seven to our doors.[/say] Maximo nods, turning to the group.  [say]One of the responsibilities of being a student here is to assist in manners that require our personal attention.  People come from all over pleading for aid in one way or another.  There are plenty of requests, and this can be a constant thing, if you feel so inclined.  Right now, it would seem that Ferro is right, in that Lady Luck has shown you to our doors when there was need of you.  All jobs taken by students grant them both the chance to use what they learn as well as earn funds for their own use.  We only ask that you act according to our beliefs.  Fairness, honesty, protection and justice are a few of these beliefs.  Will you accept this request?  To find out what is killing old man Ghentir's livestock and deal with it?  It will give us a chance to see how you work together as well as each of your abilities.  Otherwise, there is not much else to do today, for the students have the day off, as well as the other trainers.  Your studies will begin tomorrow, at sunrise either way.[/say] [OOC]No worries Herobizkit, I will just have <s>Miranda</s> Leilani go along with the group if you can't post and NPC her if needed.[/OOC] </blockquote>
