Whirtlestaff's Wizards' Academy Revisited, IC01

[Leif]

Tower of Magus Crus

Sure! Crus will gladly give you the 25 cent tour of his tower. It does, indeed, appear to be of very, very old construction, but it is incredibly solid and well-built. Looks like it could stand for another 500 years easily with very minor repairs. The furnishings are mostly very functional and understated. Crus has a penchant for hardwood chairs. There are a few select rooms that are designed for more posh, comfortable relaxation, though. The library is a very large room that spans two levels of the tower and has a balcony/walkway halfway up, with sliding ladders affixed to the shelves on both levels. You do NOT see any of Crus's spellbooks, or anything remotely resembling such.

Magus Crus

"as long as we can make it back to classes in time, that is."

Crus hears the slight worry in Xavier's voice, and says, "Ahh, that is a very good point! Leave that to me, and I'll do what I can to smooth things over with Professor Claret." Crus winks at Xavier. "I still have some pull when it comes to Whirtlestaffs, Emeritus or not!"

"Actually there were four Ogres. =

"Ah yes, you are correct, forgive me. It was late, or early depending on your definition, and there was many magical effects being utilized" Xavier replies, somewhat sheepishly.

 

[Leif]

Back to Pembrose?

Just to clarify, you arrived in Twain during the evening of yesterday, spent a night in the Hog's Head Inn, and came to visit Crus today just before noon. You have now spent most of the rest of this day talking, pondering, eating, and taking the tour of Crus's tower.

So.....

Do you want to go straight back to the barge office and arrange for passage back to Pembrose, or would you prefer to do that in the morning?

It's now late afternoon of Friday, June 1, 2112 Y.M.

Tylara

Always at home in library, Tylara will flip through a few books if permitted and looses track of the conversations. Bringing herself back from the dusty tomes of history she comments, "Let's go on and see about a barge. I'd hate to miss one leaving at first light and be stuck here waiting on another."

She thanks Crus for his hospitality and advice and looks forward to their next meeting in Pembrose.

 

[renau1g]

"Sounds like a good plan Tylara, no point in burning daylight" Xavier replies.

Xavier will thank the wizard for the tour and the assistance with Professor Claret

 

[Leif]

Magus Crus

"My pleasure, Xavier! It's the least I can do after suggesting that you pursue this course. Hmmm, Hey! I'll bet old Professor Claret knew that something like this would happen!" And as you leave, Crus turns back toward his tower, looking down at the ground and muttering something to himself.

 

[KerlanRayne]

"Hey! I'll bet old Professor Claret knew that something like this would happen!"

"I'd say there's no doubt about it. He would not have given us such a wand otherwise." Kerlan leaves with the others for the barge after offering his thanks for the hospitality.

Barge Depot in Twain

The Wizards all march forcefully in to inquire when the barge will be departing for Pembrose again. They are informed that the next scheduled departure is at first light tomorrow morning. "And have you enjoyed your visit to Twain, Gentle Wizards? Of course, you do realize that the One Gold Crown fee that you paid in Pembrose was for a round trip ticket, don't you? You DO still have your tickets??"

 

[Scotley]

Tylara

Fumbling in a pouch, Tylara tosses out some walnut shells and an apple core from a snack aboard the barge, before locating a somewhat battered ticket. "Sorry, there's a little Ogre blood on one corner, but I think it is still legible," she notes passing it over.
