Turn 2
"We have a problem." You stated to your staff.
"What else is new?" Nero snarked.
You frowned but tried your best to face your staff. Now was not the time to stutter or forget something important. "The City of Elkhort is being cursed, and we have to get to the bottom of this."
"Why should we care about a city that's gone to shit and got itself cursed?" Gin asked. "We have bigger things to worry about."
"And where do you think we get our food, you moron?" Talion stated as he took a sip of his drink. "And they're the ones offering all the missions to us, without them, we'd be bleeding money until one of our genius mages repairs the mage tower so we can do far away missions. We can't exactly force students to walk for a year to hunt some wolves in the Montral?"
Gin was silent, and Zelda tapped her feet. "So… What do you think the curse is?" She asked.
"I don't know." You stated. "And I don't like it." You then took a deep breath, the thought of an unknown curse reminding you of your former master before he went insane. "Go back to your duties. We'll figure this out."
Hopefully.

You can only choose one mission for a single class to go on for each class.
Edit: To rephrase that, you can only assign one mission to one class. The rest are randomized.

Reasoning:
I really wanted to get Greymont as a teacher, but the only other action on here that I didn't consider something we have to do was Merchant of Mirrors, and between the two, I felt that the Merchant was more important (and, now that I think about it, probably more time-sensitive too).
Linus actually has decent odds of success with Amber there (as long as we don't crit-fail a Learning action again), with an 80% chance. Not quite as good as I'd like, but if the dorm upgrade succeeds it'll go up to 90%, which is fantastic for something with such a high reward.
I assigned the Classes partly for Omake potential, and partly to make sure Class 2 reaches 1000/1000 EXP this turn while also giving Class 1 some good EXP as well (since they only got 200 last turn).
Hoping I'll be able to finish my Omake before the rolls so that I can boost the chance of success on investigating the curse, but don't count on it.
Instead, start sacrificing bunny-cats and hope the Dice Gods have mercy on us.

Reasoning:
I really wanted to get Greymont as a teacher, but the only other action on here that I didn't consider something we have to do was Merchant of Mirrors, and between the two, I felt that the Merchant was more important (and, now that I think about it, probably more time-sensitive too).
Linus actually has decent odds of success with Amber there (as long as we don't crit-fail a Learning action again), with an 80% chance. Not quite as good as I'd like, but if the dorm upgrade succeeds it'll go up to 90%, which is fantastic for something with such a high reward.
I assigned the Classes partly for Omake potential, and partly to make sure Class 2 reaches 1000/1000 EXP this turn while also giving Class 1 some good EXP as well (since they only got 200 last turn).
Hoping I'll be able to finish my Omake before the rolls so that I can boost the chance of success on investigating the curse, but don't count on it.
Instead, start sacrificing bunny-cats and hope the Dice Gods have mercy on us.

Professor Vine or Professor Cicillia.
All the teachers are called professor unless their Nero and Amber. Since Nero is a prince of the Schwarzen's(Even though he's exiled, he's still kinda in the line of succession) and Amber is the Headmistress.
Got it. Other question.
How exactly do the people who don't have family names (at least on their sheets) introduce themselves? For example, does Cicillia introduce herself as Cicillia the Vine Princess? Professor Vine? Cicillia Whatever-Her-Family-Name-Is? Just Cicillia?

THey usually introduce themselves with professor, and then their full names. Then they tell the students what to call them, for the remainder of their time there.
Okay, that's somewhat helpful, but not a complete answer.
For example, is Cicillia's full name effectively "Cicillia the Vine Princess", or does she have a family name that hasn't been mentioned yet?

She does not have a family name. that is why she uses the Vine Princess. Its a title she made a part of her name.
Ah, okay. I assumed that everyone in the setting had a family name. Guess not. Which leads two my next to questions.
First, does this apply to the other three who don't have family names on their sheets (Gin, Jasper and Talion), or does at least one of them have a family name that basically no one uses?
Second, how common are family names in this setting? Do most people have a family name, and people like Cicillia are outliers, or are family names the exception rather than the rule?

They are low born, meaning they do not have any last name to speak of, chose to abandon the names they had as they were not the occupation they were born too, or have not gained a title that they can use as a last name.
Family names are signs of wealth or nobility, usually based off of geographic location, jobs that they have, or nicknames that stuck.
As for how common last names are: It depends on the region and the culture of the region.
The Hantzu and the Angshire most people have last names or titles that can be used as last names, whereas as the Rusanic and the Schwarzens do not save for the nobility.
For the Talion's, the last name of a person is earned by merit, and are not given out willy nilly.
What about the Romains? How common is it for them?

Semi-common. Most of the time it's their fathers or mothers name they turn into some kind of last name.
Okay, then can I get your opinion on a family name I've come up with for a couple of Romain siblings I'm going to be featuring in my Omakes?

Not what I was planning, but I'll see what I can do. One more question; do the given names need to be from Rome too?
