Whirtlestaff's Wizards' Academy Revisited, IC02

[Lou]

Francheska Walova

The slim elf with bright flaming red tresses spilling out over her light green cloak looks up from her egg and toast with a startled look. Tilting her head slightly, as if to get a better look, Fransheska stares at Xavier as he stands over her. "Xavier? You're shorter than I remember," although at 5' 1", just above average for an elf, she is still a full 5" shorter than Xavier. Breaking into a big grin, Francheska jumps up and hugs her cousin, saying, "Sit down! I've been looking for you." Her long sword becomes visible as she jumps up. Her hands and face are the shade of gray of ash just before it blows away on the wind. Francheska is not particularly attractive, but her skin and hair make a surprising combination, even for an elf.

After retaking her seat and pointing out one for Xavier, she continues. "The time finally came for me to move to Whirtlestaff's. My transfer was approved, and I'm officially a student. For now it's just independent study on water monsters... yuck! But once I pass some stupid test, I'll be free to take anything available." Francheska smiles at Xavier. "Oh, Prof. Claret sends his best.... My divination spells aren't so good. What have you been up to?"

Receiving the hug with a smile on his face, Xavier will sit next to his distant relation as she talks. Upon her announcement he looks around for a glass to toast, but seeing none, reaches across to shake her hand.

"Congratulations Francheska, it is great to hear that news. We are here on a summer break from the school ourselves. Wait, I forget my manners, you've not met my colleagues from school. They would be most pleased to meet someone of your...unique heritage." Xavier replies, waiting for the others to come downstairs.

"Friends, this is my cousing Francheska, she will be joining Whirtlestaffs shortly and hopefully staying around for at least some time." Xavier will announce, allowing the others to introduce themselves accordingly.

Capizzio tromps down the stairs and sees Xavier with the others at a table giving introductions. when it is his turn he bows and says, "Capizzio del Colinas. at yoru service" he smiles boyishly and sits silently.

 

[KerlanRayne]

OOC: Is this enough to discern her race? Knowledge (The Planes) (1d20+5=23).

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Manny

Manny hops down the stairs, followed closely by Kási (his dog). On seeing the rest of his classmates gathering, he heads over and clambers up on an available bench.

"Kumusta, Francheska! I'm Manny."

OOC: Is this enough to discern her race? Knowledge (The Planes) (1d20+5=23).

Oh, sure! Francheska exhibits all the traits of a Fire Elf, which is indicative of and ancestry that includes one or more forebears from the Elemental Plane of Fire, or some other plane in very close proximity to said elemental plane.

 

[KerlanRayne]

"It seems you two have an ... interesting lineage. It's not often that a Human can claim to be related to a Fire Elf. I am Kerlan, it is nice to meet you." With a smile on his face, Kerlan reaches out to shake Fran's hand.

For Lou

While Francheska was traveling over from Whitlestaff's she heard some interesting rumors from the crew of the ship she was aboard:

[sblock=Rumors for Francheska]When the sailors learned that you were a wizard they began to speak of all of the wizards that they know of. They mentioned Magus Crus who lives at Twain, and they also spoke of an evil Drow wizard of legend named Lain Karr. He was supposed to have once been a great evil in Quail Valley. According to legend, he had a stronghold, or hideout hidden somewhere in the valley where he kept his fabulous riches, but no one seemed to know anything about where it was located. They were unanimous in the belief that Larin Karr met with some sort of end years ago. He has not been seen around these parts for a long time. They also told you that it might not be a good idea to speak his name aloud in polite company while your in the valley.[/sblock]

Tylara

The Grey Elf greets the newcomer coolly. "Welcome to our little band."

In The Lonesome Drake Inn and Brewery

After a day full of studying, practice, and getting to know Francheska, the wizards all gather at the Lonesome Drake Inn and Brewery for the evening meal (as brand new 5th level wizards!), and to sup a brew while visiting with the proprietor Boris Stenker. Boris is quick to remind you, "Remember, my good Magisters, you said that you'd take a look at my 'problem' when you had more time. How much time have ye now?"
