day 5
the morning starts rather abruptly with a loud bang shaking the entire wizard tower. zazzerpan the learned emerges from the basement, smoke trailing, acompanied by... a piece of the stone wall? that probably hasn't affected the structural integrity of the tower. this is fine.
new wizards:
Damian "the Wall" Jenkins,
First of their name
|
damian "the wall" jenkins used to be just another section of foundational stones, until zazzerpan the learned knocked over a cauldron of wizard potions and splashed the strange, dark red liquid all over them. now, they're a walking collection of pale stones, steam perpetually rising off of them. finally, their dreams of becoming a pro wrestler can come true.
dice roll: 10
test the newbies!
on second thought, maybe something should be done about that foundation. no one really wants to deal with it, so the most powerful wizards gather together and decide that the least powerful wizards are the ones who will, because they need experience and it builds character. zazzerpan the learned, koito the sopping, and reika the tipsy herd the other wizards into the basement with a pile of rocks, some caulking, and some chalk to draw wizardly symbols with. they'll figure it out.
frigglish didn't sign up for all this manual labor. with a huff, they gather themself up, make a break for the exit, and stop by the library on the way out to loot as many of their books as they can. zazzerpan the learned quickly makes chase as soon as they realize frigglish's intent, but only manages to steal back a couple tomes in the ensuing tussle.
after frigglish leaves, furnace the wicked settles down over the stairs. "i'm in a supervisory role," they claim. "i'm making sure tasks are properly delegated and completed." they neither delegate tasks nore ensure they are completed, and instead merely spend the entire time sharpening their claws on the flagstones while the other wizards wince at the sound.
damian "the wall" jenkins briefly considers just... going back into the wall, but is bolstered by their visions and dreams of being a wrestler. instead, they fall into daydreams of chugging two waterskins of effervescent sweet drink at once while crowds cheer, and absentmindedly start eating some of the rocks.
as a firm believer in the vision of the organization, ockite the bonafide is perfectly happy to help with the repair of the wall. they get to work immediately, drawing wizardly symbols on the floor and walls around the hole in hopes that if enough wizardly symbols are drawn, the hole will just.. fill itself up
being formerly a clam, iriehana the shining know a little something about adding material to walls. they get to work actually repairing the wall, and malkrentzii the burning quickly joins them. the two work quite well together, that is, until something connects with ockite's wizardly symbols, and with a bang and a puff of smoke, the two dragons vanish, leaving behind a perfectly repaired pink, black, and pearlescent wall, complete with a burning brazier.
"they're probably fine," ockite said optimistically. "i think that symbol was for transportation, not transmutation."
furnace the wicked cackled, scraping their claws on the ground one more time before getting up and ascending the stairs.
