The Gray Spire (Game)

Dreylin shrugs and exits the tent, turning to the others as he does so. "What shall we do while we wait?" he asks. "I guess we could see to our rooms, but that doesn't seem very...exciting. Should we look for the others on the boat, or attempt to meet completely new people?"

You make your way though the grounds to an enclosed area the front gate labels the area Dormitories, many young men and women wander this area talking to each other, you notice that there is only one building in the area "Office of Initiates" sign above the door, the rest of the area have large rectangular pits dug about a foot into the dirt, in front of the northern pits tall columns with colored flags: Blue, Green, Grey and Black, Each flag has the number one embroidered on them. Simmilar set up on the southern pits but there colors are: Yellow, Red, Orange, and White.
 

Since the others seem more interested in their sleeping quarters than the people, Dreylin follows them to the area with the pits. Seeing the pit with the column with the black flag, he frowns. "I wonder what this is supposed to be," he says aloud as his eyes scan the area.

[/sblock] The spire grounds, Upper Left this area has mostly guardsmen and spire servants with there families, It is large enough to call itself a hamlet. In the middle the main spire it looks to about 2000+ feet in height and a diameter of about 400 feet. Three other smaller spires look to be holding it stable, there 1000 feet high with massive columns connecting to the main spire. To the right a walled area with large stables, and a crude horse track. (There's other stuff there just not sure what yet, like grainaries, and personal homes for the powerful nobles, and petitioners.)

The pits obviously don't look to be livable, and there are a lot of people around. There are 6 other young men around your section of the grounds, it looks like the girls are left on the southern half of the grounds and the boys are the northern part. A small fence marks the divide. Three of them are leaning aganced the fence trying to get the girls to come over to there side. Two of them look like there putting up tents. The last fellow is an Elf, he seems to be ignoring everything, he sits on the edge of the pit staring into it. The white camp, there is a somewhat large tent behind there pit, a speckled white Hawk perched on the top of it, looking to survey the area. There looks to be a short line into the Dorm Offices. Every once and a while Young men and women come out with a bundle.

OOC:Sry, I been buisy, I'll try posting more for the next week.

You are unable to find a bunk. After a bit of asking around, they tell you you'll need to go to the Dorm Offices and get a tent. They say it's part of some sort of training, but you need to get the details at the Offices. Unless you try and go talk to the two boys trying to pitch up there tents.
 

"Hrm, this place has alot of test. I guess they really want to make sure we are strong enough to survive." Bazut says as he joins Ars and Anthony on getting a tent.

After that is done and the tent is pitched, I go up to the Elf (whom is ignoring everyone and looking into the pit), saying "Why the long face?"
 

Well I assume you go to the offices, looks like it will take a while with the line being there, Once you get up to the front they look to be handing out Packs. Once you ask for the tent they ask for your color and they tell you that 2 of the tents have been reserved for black have been taken, and there's only one left. It a really small one. In the packs there is a bed roll a dagger, a gray tabard and a little bit of rope. They tell you that you will need to wear the tabard once you are officially Initiates, and should not be seen without them.

Dreylin temporarily ignores the idea of getting the tent and moves over to join the three boys standing buy the fence. "Doesn't look like you're having much luck," he says to them as he scans the girls on the other side.

OOC: Are they focusing on any girls in specific or just anyone who passes by.
