School of Sorcery

Reader mode
I don't trust anything the bullies will tell us and the longer we draw this out the more I fear things turning against us.

[X] Kick Yulian while he's down.
-[X] Kick him in the crotch a few times.
 
[x] Demand some kind of guarantee that Yulian and his gang will never bother you again. (Write in: any ideas as to what it could be?)
-[x] Get their names, and make them swear on whatever they hold sacred.

And then we'll immediately tell on them afterwards. You don't do blood rituals. Honestly, I'd use the ol' Sea of Thieves rule. They can say whatever they want about friendship and alliances, but if they try to get on your boat, shoot without hesitation.

That uh... hoo boy, that's a tangled web. Hormones, huh?

Good enough, I suppose.

    The fight is over, at least for now. It's clear that Elys was the victor. The four older students who were planning to drain Venta's blood to use in a dark ritual have been defeated: Yulian is unconscious and lying in a puddle of vomit, the twins are trying to comfort each other, and their rough-looking friend is trying to negotiate peace terms.

    Elys glances at you and your friends: she seems unsure of what to do next. Should she let your four tormentors go, trusting that they have 'learnt their lesson' as promised? Or should she press her advantage: either by imposing some form of penance, or by continuing the fight until all four of the bullies are beaten, bloodied, and lying unconscious on the storeroom floor?

    "Swear that you won't attack us again," you say, stepping out of the shadows and angrily pointing a finger at the rough-looking young man. "Swear it by whatever you hold sacred!"

    "Sure, I swear it," he replies, grinning at you. "I'll swear by the Four Seasons, Vistander, Zanaster… anyone you like!"

    Giving him a shrewd look, Venta asks, "What about Zora Alishanda? Will you swear it in her name?"

    "Zorya the Moon Maiden? Sure, why not?"

    Venta seems enraged by his response, stamping her foot and looking like she's barely restraining herself from attacking him with her bare hands. "No! That's not her name!"

    The rough-looking young man pretends that what he said was completely innocent. Wearing an expression of injured dignity, he seems about to say something, but Elys speaks first: "Kindly refrain from antagonizing my new friends, please."

    "Whatever you say, I obey," he replies, once again raising his hands in a gesture that is almost-but-not-quite one of surrender.

    "And your friends? Will they swear it too?" asks Elys, glancing at Yulian's vomit-splattered body and then at the twins framed in the doorway… who seem to have disappeared.

    "No doubt," says the rough-looking young man, a note of resentment in his voice, trying to stir Yulian by prodding him with his foot. A moment later, he sighs, shakes his head, and then nods towards where the twins used to be. "Well, they won't want to be reminded of this humiliation, so… don't worry, you won't see them again."

    "What's your name?" asks Elys, cocking her head to one side and looking puzzled.

    "Moroth Noorandiun is what they call me, these days," he replies. "Now that I've been adopted into a grand family and don't have to live on the streets anymore."

    "You're like me," says Isolia, "a mage from the Sprawl." She sounds a little surprised at that.

    "Not any longer," Moroth replies, chuckling under his breath. "Now, I sleep in a warm, comfortable bed and get served food whenever I want. Ahh, it's a good life."

    "I don't understand why you wanted to drain Venta's blood," you say, scowling at him. "What ritual were you hoping to perform?"

    Moroth's immediate response is a shrug. "Don't blame me. I tend to go along with whatever my friends suggest. It's the safest way."

    "But why goblin blood?" you ask him.

    "It's one of the standard components for rituals involving dreams and nightmares. Didn't you know that?" He throws back his head and unleashes a gust of cruel laughter. "If you ever want to cure any bad dreams, maybe your friend will let you use some of hers."

    You pause, unsure of what to say after that.

    Then Philander speaks up. "Hey, what happened to Archironaeus?" he asks. "You know, the owl? My friend–" He points at you. "–threw him at your friend–" He points at Yulian. "–so what happened after that?"

    Moroth looks baffled. "You mean that ancient stuffed owl? The one that's been dead for at least a couple of decades? I assumed you'd animated it with telekinesis or necromancy or something like that. Quite a clever bit of magic, I thought."

    "But… Archironaeus was alive, wasn't he?" asks Venta, sounding as if she's about to burst into tears. Evidently, because she has recently been put through a great deal of stress and made to feel very afraid, she is feeling overwhelmed by it all.

    "No, he wasn't," Moroth insists, with a slightly mocking edge to his voice. "He was a lifelike replica made of dusty bones, modelling clay, and feathers held together with glue and bits of wire. Yulian threw it against the wall and dashed it to pieces."

    "We spoke to him!" Venta wails.

    You wonder about that: as far as you could tell, Archironaeus was a living creature, although he was ancient, covered in dust, and very decrepit. However, he seemed to have potent magical abilities of his own. Is it possible that he faked his own death, replacing himself with an illusion – or a stuffed bird that had been left to rot in one of the nearby storerooms – and thereby fooled Yulian, Moroth, and the others into thinking that he was never really there?

    Moroth puts on a smirk. "Someone's been playing tricks on you. I wonder who it could be?"

    "It's probably a god or a spirit," says Elys, in an oddly casual manner. "My best friend, Jana, says I can't even walk to the shops to buy a funny-coloured eel without it turning out to be a god of some kind. There's a funny story about that, actually…"

    You stare at her for a moment: you can't be sure whether she's joking or not. When no one laughs at her ridiculous chatter, her voice trails off into an uneasy silence.

    "Anyway, unless you've got any further questions, I'd better take Yulian back to his room and make sure that he's all right," says Moroth, crouching down on the floor so that he can tend to his stricken friend. "I'm sure you agree with me that no one wants to hear the story of how this city's richest man's favoured son choked to death on his own vomit. That could have some very messy repercussions for all of us. Know what I mean?"

    "You may as well go," says Elys, stepping out of his way. "But I'll be back if you break your promise!"

    Moroth shakes Yulian awake, gets him to his feet, and then drags him out of the room. As a last parting shot, he glances back at Elys and yells at her, "I hope to never see you again!"

    "The feeling's mutual," she replies, without any real emotion. It appears that she is already thinking about something else. After a moment, she turns to you and your friends. "What shall we do now?"

    "The portal's closed. Will you be all right getting home?" asks Isolia, pointing at the mirror. On its dusty surface, you can see a reflection of the gloomy storeroom, your friends, and yourself, but there is no sign of the window into a mysterious otherworld that you saw before. You didn't see what happened to the portal, but it probably closed while the fight was going on and you were distracted.

    "Eager to get rid of me, are you?" Elys replies jokingly.

    Isolia flushes with embarrassment, shaking her head vigorously: she seems to be trying to make it emphatically clear that she doesn't want Elys to go. You half-expect Phil to start teasing her about that, but maybe he's learned a little tact, at long last.

    "I don't need the portal," says Elys. "When I'm ready to go, I'll just call my uncle and get him to pick me up."

    "Your uncle must be a powerful mage, I'm guessing," says Philander, giving her a thoughtful glance. "Is he anyone we're likely to have heard of?"

    Venta seems to have rapidly overcome her earlier weepiness: now, she looks cheerful and enthusiastic. "Come with us to see Green Flame!" she cries, tugging at Elys's hand. "She's our group tutor. She's an elf and she's really nice!"

    Elys smiles, seemingly charmed by Venta's eagerness. She seems a little hesitant and unsure of herself, but doesn't snatch her hand back.

    Anything you want to say to Elys or the other members of Cadre 1F?
    [] Write in.

    What happens next will depend on the current vote in Chosen by the Dragon God, since the two quests are running concurrently and all. ;)

    • We've come to a point where the quests copy each other's contents, and my eyes just slide off the text since I know what happens.

    There is but a single protagonist though, and she gets to make the Important Decisions, while all we sidekicks are allowed to do is talk about weather.

    ...I can't think of anything to ask her other than some banalities. Anything the kids might like to know we the players already know the answers to.

    Hmmm... how about this?

    [x] Where did she learn her spells? You didn't even notice her casting that shield!
    -[x] Did her uncle teach her magic?
    [x] What was she doing in that portal?

    Aiming to find out she is a fellow Academy student and commiserate together over the misery of school life.

    Yeah, I must admit this post got a bit of skimming from me.

    I want to focus on what seems most important.

    Okay, fair enough. I have been trying to make the wording slightly different to show that Elys and Dorian have different POVs, but inevitably a lot of things are going to be the same now that the two quests have synchronized. :rolleyes:

    I kinda want to bring this quest to an end and just focus on Chosen by the Dragon God, so...

    NEW VOTE!
    [] Venta and Elys will go off to talk to Green Flame.
    -[] Meanwhile, Dorian, Isolia and Phil will investigate the mystery of 'Archironaeus the stuffed owl'.
    OR
    [] Elys will just head home and my next post will be the end of the current story arc.

    I'll leave it up to you to decide what to go for. Please vote!

    Well, for as long as Dorian is still a co-main-protagonist by virtue of having more of an idea what is going on than Elys,
    [X] Insist on solving the mystery of 'Archironaeus the stuffed owl' first.
    Splitting up, with Dorian, Philander, and Isolia investigating the owl and Venta and Elys going to Green Flame, sounds like it would be a good way of keeping these two quests going separetly but connected for a bit longer, giving us two nearby sets of events to follow from different points of view. But, it sounds like that is the opposite of what you want, Chandagnac. So uh, even if it might make the most sense for the characters, probably don't do that, stay as a group. Investigate owl first with Elys's help, then take her to Green Flame together.
     
    Ohh, splitting the party. I'm all over this sort of bad decision making.

    [X] Venta and Elys will go off to talk to Green Flame.
    -[X] Meanwhile, Dorian, Isolia and Phil will investigate the mystery of 'Archironaeus the stuffed owl'.
     
    [X] dont split the party

    elys is the only one tough enough to rough it alone in this school. all for of the others were not enough to keep themselves collectively safe like literal minutes ago.

    also i liked the dual updates and read through all of it. in general im just psyched to get more content set in this world. so i want to read whatever it is you want to write. its not specially the dual updates from cycling perspectives that did it for me, its it being a chamdagnac hedgeverse quest with a bonus play by play from the other protagonist (tm)

    like, either we all go to do the owl thing, or we all report back to green flame. i know the kids do stuff indepently at the school, but not everywhere and everywhen there is the same, and some of the 4 will be feeling shaken up and vulnerable (definately the girls, dorian read thst way, and honestly phil is just masking imo)
     
    On second thought, though I've enjoyed this rare dual perspective treat, all things must come to an end. Perhaps it is about time to merge?

    [x] Where did she learn her spells? You didn't even notice her casting that shield!
    -[x] Did her uncle teach her magic?
    [x] What was she doing in that portal?

    [x] Don't split the party
    -[x] Owl, then Green Flame
     
    There will be no update of School of Sorcery tonight, partly because I'm going out with some friends and partly because it would just be a rehash of this post, so what would be the point? :rolleyes:

    (However, in order for this this quest to be a complete story, I'm gonna have to post Dorian's version of the latest chapter sooner or later, no matter how little anyone wants to read it. Sorry about that.)
     
    It's not that I don't want to read it, but I am curious about the direction the story is taking. There were considerations of having Elys join Dorian's group in some capacity, and this would probably mean one of the quests going dormant, since I imagine she would become the focus of new adventures. Or perhaps the two protagonists will remain distinct, and this brief interlude/crossover is a one-off deal (with the potential to call upon the other, but that would be tricky to time since both quests would run on independent timelines), which seems likely given that they are students in different Academies, and more importantly, different countries.

    Those are two different approaches the story could take, and they come with different levels of player engagement. Which one will it be? If this quest is continuing, I'll probably vote to split the party soon so we'd have more divergence in the updates and have more agency as players, while otherwise I'd be picking more deferential/complementary choices to integrate two groups into one and take control of it instead.

    Or - and I suppose it's heading this way - we are about to leave Dorian behind, and have him as a recurring character in Elys' quest since she probably can call him or come visit anytime with the magic mirrors acting as a cab service. It's a shame we can't keep them in personal possession on account of occasional monsters jumping out of them. :V

    Personally? I feel as though it'd be more interesting for the quests to desync and resync as needed. Something like the party split would've facilitated that, actually, letting SoS focus on the Dory group while CbtDG focused on the Elys group, remerging a few updates later, splitting up again as Elys goes back to her school to do whatever and Dory's group finishes their schoolyear, temporarily merging again if Elys and Dory's group ever end up on-screen together again... and so on. But naturally it'd also depend on whatever you intend the plot(s) to be.

    I wanna read it, but I also don't want you to be writing and running two coordinated quests at once for too long. Burnout is a terrible thing!

    Because I enjoy having time to do other things than work all day every day, I'm going to be bringing this quest to an end after the next update. However, Dorian and his friends will be joining Elys's supporting cast in Chosen by the Dragon God, just as soon as she has worked out a reliable way of visiting them on a regular basis.

    Anyway, I promised you a rewrite of this chapter from Dorian's point of view. Here it is…

    While Venta leads your new acquaintance through the corridors and closer to Green Flame's office, you accompany them. You may be a little over-excited. Bombarding Elys with questions, you demand to know, "Where did you learn magic? I didn't even see you cast that shield spell!"

    "My mother taught me her Invisible Shield. She's a Quellonian knight," she replies.

    The knights of Quellonia are reputed to be great warriors who have fended off dozens of attempted invasions from neighbouring countries. You weren't aware that they were magic-users as well, but you suppose that it makes sense: they wouldn't have been so successful against the legions of the Sambian Empire if they didn't have several tricks up their collective sleeves.

    "A lady and a knight, huh? What does that make you?" asks Philander, joining in with the interrogation.

    "Her daughter, obviously." Elys gives him an impish grin. With that silly expression on her face, she looks her real age: for the first time, you can see that she's only eleven years old. "Well… actually, I'm a princess."

    "Yeah, sure you are," Phil replies, chuckling at the joke.

    "Did your uncle teach you his magic as well?" you ask, remembering that Elys has previously hinted that her uncle is an extraordinarily powerful mage.

    She nods. "Yes, he did. Some of it, anyway. I can't create living creatures like he can."

    "He can create living creatures!" Venta gushes. "He must be a master of life magic!"

    "He is."

    A frown contorts Venta's face: you're fairly sure that she is remembering the ailing tentacle monsters you came across in Garanhedd's tomb. "I hope he takes good care of them," she murmurs.

    Elys is quick to reassure her, saying, "He does. He's a big old softy, really. Even if he really, really likes sea monsters, it's not because he wants them to do any harm."

    "You're a very strange girl, Elys. I can never tell whether you're joking or not," says Phil, shaking his head almost at the same time as he starts shaking with silent laughter.

    "What were you doing in that other world?" you ask, wanting to press Elys for more information. "You said that you arrived there by accident, but how did it happen?"

    "I attend a boarding school in Asquellon, which is one of the many nations that make up Greater Quellonia. Earlier today, I went to the office of one of my teachers to complain that he wasn't treating me fairly. However, when I opened the door, I discovered that he was dead, with a monster standing over his corpse and an open portal behind him. I threw a bolt of energy that was absorbed by the portal, causing it to rapidly expand and swallow the entire contents of the room, including me and the monster," she says. "That's how I ended up in the strange place you saw on the other side of that portal. After I killed the monster, I didn't know where to go or how to get out, so I searched through the professor's notes, hoping that he knew something about how the portal worked. But… well, you found me before I was trapped for very long. How did you manage that, by the way?"

    You take a moment to consider before answering her question: although her story is outlandish, it fits with the available facts and you have no reason to believe that she is lying. Certainly, she has given you a great deal to think about, as well as all the other peculiar things that have happened today. Your life has become very strange all of a sudden. Or was it always thus and you've only just noticed?

    "We saw you in a magic mirror," you say at last. "The same one I used to open a portal to where you were."

    "How did you manage that?" asks Elys, looking mystified.

    "I just channelled some of my magic into it – and dripped a little blood onto it from my broken nose," you say, instinctively reaching for the injury now that you've been reminded of it. You manage to restrain yourself from prodding it and instead brush away some of the dried blood that is encrusted on your upper lip.

    She gives you a considering look before launching into a new round of questions: "But how did you know to do that? Why did the magic mirror show you a glimpse of me? Had you seen it before or did you just happen to come across it when you needed it most?"

    "Yeah, we'd seen it before," says Phil, coming to your rescue. "We'd visited that storeroom before. But the last time we saw it, the magic mirror wasn't working. Nothing we did to it seemed to have any effect."

    "So why did it suddenly start working when you needed it to?" asks Elys. "At any other time, it would have shown you a desolate wasteland, but at the exact moment when I needed a way of escape – and you were in need of a champion to fight for you – it suddenly started working. Why do you think that was?"

    Isolia speaks up for the first time in a while, looking pensive. Until she spoke, you'd almost forgotten that she was following along with you. "You think that someone deliberately arranged things so that we would meet up and help each other?" she muses. "But who would do something like that? And why?"

    "Because you were nice to me," says a familiar voice. "That counts for a lot, you know. Hoo hoo."

    You recognize Archironaeus, the mysterious owl who aided you against Yulian Sagittarus's evil group. He is perched on an empty torch bracket, high up on the wall. He looks pale and ghostly, much smaller and less motheaten than when you last saw him.

    "Archironaeus! You're alive!" cries Venta, sounding overjoyed. Letting go of Elys's hand, she reaches out and offers the owl a hug.

    "That's a matter of opinion," he replies, shifting slightly so that you can see a beam of sunlight pass right through him.

    Philander cocks his head to one side, looking quizzically at the translucent owl. "So… you're a ghost? How does that work?"

    "Not a ghost, a spirit," Archironaeus corrects him. "A little god, perhaps. The abandoned places in this school are my domain."

    "How were you able to operate the magic mirror?" Elys wants to know.

    "It has been left lying around in my domain for many years. Therefore, it is mine. Or it might as well be," says Archironaeus. "Let that be a lesson to you, young ones: never leave powerful magical items unattended for long periods of time, or something will make use of them. Hoo hoo."

    "Words of wisdom," says Venta. "There must be so many things you could teach us!"

    "Possibly," is the owl spirit's unenthusiastic response. "No more than your usual teachers could, I'll warrant."

    "Did you used to be someone's familiar?" you ask, remembering your earlier theories. "Was that how you came to this school?"

    "I… maybe." Archironaeus pauses, glancing this way and that. "I'm sorry, it was such a long time ago. I barely remember anything from back then."

    "You must know who has used the magic mirrors recently," says Elys, looking thoughtful.

    "Perhaps. My mirror, at least," says the owl spirit. "There are others, but I know little of them."

    "Wait…" You frown, remembering something and feeling as if you've been deceived. "If you can control the mirror, why did I need to use my blood and magic to open the portal?"

    "I was already weary, having expended a great deal of energy on your behalf… but I would have done it for you, if you hadn't figured out how to do it," says Archironaeus in an exhausted tone of voice. "It would have cost me, so… I gave you a chance to impress me. Hoo hoo."

    "So… you must have seen me in the other world," says Elys. "And then you sent these four to rescue me? I owe you my thanks."

    "I thought you could help each other. And I was right."

    "Do you still want mice? I can get you some mice, no problem!" Isolia chirps.

    "Why do you need mice?" Venta wonders. "You're an insubstantial spirit… aren't you?"

    "To sustain myself, I feed on the soul energy of small verminous creatures," Archironaeus explains.

    Venta gasps in horror. "But that's…"

    "Do you not eat meat?" asks Professor Kunrath's voice. You are quite surprised to hear it coming from the tiny owl spirit. "It is no different from that."

    "That was what Professor Kunrath said!" Venta's eyes widen. She looks startled. "Were you there when he said that?"

    "No. I saw it in your thoughts," the owl spirit says. "Very close to the surface."

    "I would prefer it if you didn't read my mind," says Venta, looking uncomfortable.

    The owl spirit shrugs his feathery shoulders. "Very close to the surface. Not like I could help it…"

    "Thank you for everything you have done to help us, Archironaeus," you say, deciding that he deserves a great deal of gratitude for what he did to help you. "I hope we will see you again."

    "Undoubtedly you will," he replies, taking to the air and gliding swiftly away down the corridor. "For now, farewell. Hoo hoo."

    And then he is gone. Still, for a few moments afterwards, you can hear the flapping of spectral wings.

    "Well, wasn't he nice?" says Phil, grinning foolishly. "A very pleasant fellow, I thought."

    "It was kind of him to help us," Isolia agrees.

    "I don't know how I'd have ever escaped from the other world if he hadn't interfered," says Elys with a nod.

    The remainder of the journey to Green Flame's office takes only a couple of minutes. You are glad to see her there, sitting behind her desk, looking as calm and unruffled as ever: a pillar of stability in a chaotic and ever-shifting world.

    In her excitement, Venta can't help but shout, "Green Flame! We've made a new friend! Her name is Elys!"

    "I'm pleased to hear it," says Green Flame, looking wary. "I only hope she proves worthy of your friendship."

    "She saved us when we were attacked by older students who wanted to steal my blood!" Venta informs her.

    By now, you're familiar enough with Green Flame's mannerisms to know when she is concerned. Her face is impassive, but her eyes dart from Venta to you, then to Isolia and Philander and back again, searching for signs that you have been harmed. You're sure that she notices your bloody nose and the mark on Isolia's arm, but she seems satisfied that you're not in mortal danger. A moment later, she breathes again. "Thank you for aiding my students in their time of need, Elys," she says, giving your new friend a nod. "Now… will someone tell me exactly what has happened?"

    What do you say?

    Before I bring this quest to a close, is there anything else you want Dorian to say or do in the final update?
    [] Write in.

    Maybe I'm giving you a little too much free choice, but I'm going to end this quest after the next update, so I want it to be fairly satisfying. Please let me know what I can do to make it so. ;)

    • [X] Explain as per Green Flame's request. Try to figure out Elys's character based on her reaction to elves. Tell Green flame we meet a small god as well.

    Dorian doesn't feel like he has last minute confessions to make, so I'm just eager for the next chapter and his enthusiasm.

    Hmm, maybe ask to be pen pals?

    I'll throw my weight behind this as well. I think this might be the last gasp of Green Flame content for a while, so I'd like to make it count. Who knows, maybe Mishrak can pull the old "buy a slave and set them free" trick. Though, she is a good teacher, it'd be a shame to pull her away from it... I'm conflicted. Perhaps she just needs a better school?

    Kunrath can just live on in my heart. I can only imagine him appearing if Dorian convinces Elys to take his advice.

    Click to expand...
    Click to shrink...
    [x] Ask Green Flame what are the most popular ways to cast spells above one's usual ability. Is there a way to find out when this is the case?
    [x] Try to discreetly look into the twins who hang around with Yulian. Whatever Moroth may have said, they gave you no promises, and you suspect that humiliation may prove incentive to further conflict rather than a deterrent.

    If Dorian is to be reduced to a recurring character in another quest, let him take some people with him!
    ...he needs a nemesis his own size. The Twins shall not remain nameless!

    If it isn't a good fit for the update itself, I'll take a commitment to future action.
