After a moment, the door to the Common Room opens violently again, and Durgeon clumps back in, stomping his redfaced way back to his seat, mumbling something about "...damnable wizards..." [presumably he is not speaking of himself? 
] "*grumble, grumble*...riddles...*grumble, grumble*...newts..." and then sitting back down in his seat with a heavy thunk.

Summary So Far
Durgeon Firebelly, Dwarf Wizard, was having a small debate (no pun intended, really!) with Delunamanth Tylarapelotheenia, or"Tylara," for short, a female gray elf wizard. As usually happens when these two are within earshot of each other, Tylara was getting the better of the exchange. Tylara was, as always, remaining completely calm and cool, while Durgeon was just about to rupture something. (Hopefully, something that he could live without!) Durgeon decided that it was time for a strategic retreat, and left the Common Room of Whirtlestaff's third floor. Right after he left, there was a mass auditory hallucination or an auditory illusion, or something: it sounded exactly like Tylara's voice calling out to Durgeon, saying: "Oh Durrrrr-geon!! Come back here, Love, you forgot your kiss!" Tylara claims that she never said this, however. Durgeon, not wanting anything more to do with Tylara, continued to stomp off down the hallway. The wizards in the Common Room didn't know what to make of this occurrence, but they all heard Tylara's voice and saw that it wasn't her speaking. Meanwhile, in the hallway, Durgeon finds that he can't return to his room after all, because there is an invisible barrier preventing his movement in every direction except back into the Common Room by other exits. About this time, Pandak, the Gnome, and Dalomock, the "other" Dwarf, leave the room by other exits. They appeared to be uninterested in these goings on and went somewhere else in search of entertainment. And then Durgeon walks back into the room, grumbling about wizards, riddles, and newts.
So, now, we find the wizards wondering just what is going on. What will they do next?

Delunamanth Tylarapelotheenia and Mikkana Raschika
[sblock=Tylara]Where, or upon what, is she directing her spell?[/sblock]
All: you were not paying much attention when Mikkana Raschika came into the common room. Mikkana, a Diviner and something of a gearhead, sometimes dashes by the library as soon as classes are over to speak to her father, Rothwell, who is the head librarian. (The whole family apparently has a thing for information.) At any rate, she has entered now, and sits among you all, just like she had been there all along.
There are a few more stragglers who have not arrived yet, but the "Cabal" as you call yourselves, tends to have a very fluid membership from day to day, and even from moment to moment. Whenever there are a handful of you together, the odds of mischief escalate exponentially. Heaven forfend all of you being actively engaged in the group at the exact same time! (DM cardiacs will, no doubt, ensue.)

[sblock=Tylara]No, she detects nothing in those places.[/sblock]
General Note About Magic Inside Whirtlestaffs
There is probably not even one single object (except for maybe a few sticks of chalk) inside Whirtlestaffs that has not been subjected to at least a dozen or so spells over the years. One or two spells will pretty much dissipate when the spell ends, but hundreds, thousands, or even more spells will eventually leave enough background residue that they will register a positive result with a detect magic, even though the item is not "enchanted" in any usable sense. Basically, if you are going to wave around a detect magic in Whirtlestaffs, you'd better have your sunglasses on!

Capizzo!
Capizzio is only one of the stream of students moving through the halls of the esteemed acadamy with the typical math/ magical formula racing through his brain when he hears the voices of Master Firebelly and Mistress Tylara having their scheduled lover's quarrel emminating forth from the commen room ahead. Grinning widely with bright teeth against his olive comlextion, he enters the room at an uncharisticly silent moment during the racial elitest conversation.
With a questioning look he leans over to the nearest member of the 'cabal' and asks "Did I miss something?" he silently watches the elf casting a spell and then gazes about the room.

Durgeon (Dwarf Conjurer)
Durgeon snaps his head around and delivers a snide look to the Capizzio and then on his way back to grumbling grumbles 'Gnome' when his eyes pass over Mikkanna. He opens up his book of class notes father gruffly and then starts to look like he is studying.
