Field Mission 6: A Day in Thay, Part 1
![]()
![]() ![]() Ready or not, rested or not, it's time to get moving, Reclaimers. You've got a very, very long day ahead of you. And another one. And another one. And, you get the joke. Early Friday morning, with the Director there to see them off, the Reclaimers load up into the Bureau's transportation orbs for the sixth time since this whole ordeal began, and make their way to about a mile or two outside of Thay. It's important to try to stick to the story, at least — that you're all visitors from a faraway school, here to spend some time with the students and faculty of Boarbumps. As much as Lucretia would have liked to join you, she can't. None of the other leading members of the Bureau of Balance can. Whoever enters Thay, after all, is entering a bubble, after all. A time trap. Nobody will be able to leave until the Relic, the Lamp of Undoing, is either retrieved or destroyed. Someone needs to be able to continue if you all can't. 1. SEVEN O'CLOCK ALREADYAs we noted in the OOC post, prompts on this log will be a quick few sentences of specific things happening during each hour. It's expected that Reclaimers will be seeing all of these events multiple times! So feel free to play with them as you see fit. If you're not sure if something you want to do would warrant a roll, please ask us in the RNG thread. ![]() ○ The Reclaimers have arrived in Thay, much to the curiosity of the highly intelligent, occasionally highly ... suspicious ... residents. Nevertheless, they recognize you as visiting, esteemed students, and, though perhaps still suspicious, welcome you into their fold. Also, as a note: Every time the relic is used, time is reset to this moment. ![]() ○ Afternoon classes at Boarbumps begin, starting with a lecture on the magical circuits of the common toad. If you happen to sit in on this one, as a visitor from another school, you may be asked to assist in the dissection. You will be heckled by the rest of the class as deemed fit. ![]() ○ The second afternoon class at Boarbumps begins. Are you three or four time loops in and in desperate need of a nap? This class, The History of Boarbumps, is for you. You will be treated to a long and droning lecture about how the students attending during Boarbumps' very first semester banded together to stop a particularly plucky troll. Which you'd think would be an interesting tale. It is not. ![]() ○ The third and final afternoon class at Boarbumps — Fighting with Fire — begins. The professor, known to be slightly more unorthodox in her teaching methods, will recruit any Reclaimer who happens to be there to defend themselves from the students' incoming fireball spells. The potency of the fireballs themselves range from the tickle of a candle, to that one time you ate a ghost pepper, to one particularly fiery spell that might actually hurt you. ![]() ○ There's a slight catastrophe over in the Town Square. That is to say, a giant spider seems to have escaped from Boarbumps and is terrorizing the vendors, to everyone's surprise. Subdue or dispatch it, it's up to you. ![]() ○ Cleanup of whatever damage the spider did is underway. In the meantime, the faculty of Boarbumps and the Hermetic Order of Red Wizards invite the Reclaimers to a small dinner in one of the public meeting rooms at the Red Keep. Every member of the Red Wizards are present, aside from Onerion Wyvernspur and Brian Darling. ![]() ○ No matter where you are in Thay, you'll feel the ground rumble underneath your feet. The residents largely pass it off as an earthquake, but will note that they have become much more frequent lately. ![]() ○ With a sudden loud roar, the ground of the town square suddenly begins to split. People, shops, and everything else begin to drop into the chasm, despite the Red Wizards, and everyone else's, attempts to save them. 2. OOC: A SPECIAL SHOUTOUTYou are welcome to keep track of how your character experiences these time loops as much or as little as you're comfortable with — we'll also be tracking what you all are doing! Our Minato player Kel came up with some extremely snazzy coding if you would like to track how each loop plays out for your character more closely. Thank you, Kel! Of course, this is completely optional. Keep up with as much as you'd like, have fun as you see fit, and we hope you enjoy this mission! |

It looks as though you are getting along here just fine, in that case.
[She lets out a huff of breath, straightening up while maintaining her hold on the railing.]
You made that appear effortless!
no subject
Being a mage has to be worth something when you're visiting a magic school, right?
[He steps off the railing and descends properly onto the steps next to her, ending the spell.]
I put in a lot of practice. [Agate steps onto his left arm when he holds it up, and he offers the bird to Flayn.] Want to give it a try?
no subject
[And, just for a moment, she finds herself very much missing all of the magic she'd put so much time into learning back at Garreg Mach. The skills available to her here are certainly useful and well within her usual wheelhouse, but she feels just a bit empty by comparison.]
Back home, I had magic of my own, but I am afraid that's not the case here.
[Her face lights up, however, when he holds his arm out in offering, and she lifts a hand to tentatively pat at Agate's head.]
Oh! She wouldn't mind?
no subject
I know how that is.
[Agate is not quite as used to head pats as Ferran's other familiars, but her eyes tentatively squint in response. Yes, these are good pats. She will accept them.]
Levitation makes you as light as a feather, so it's not a problem. [The bird offers a quiet affirmative skree.]
no subject
[Her smile hitches even wider as Agate seems to respond positively to her display of affection, and she gives a nod, adjusting her arm to hold it out as a potential perch.]
Well! If she truly does not mind taking on a strange passenger, then I would be very glad to let her guide me— thank you, both of you.
no subject
[But they all have to adjust eventually, so he's sure she'll get the hang of it. The familiar steps over to the offered arm carefully, allowing Ferran use of his hands to start another Levitation spell.]
No problem.
[She'll be up to the proper hallway in no time, the spell lifting her to the proper level and Agate pushing her the rest of the way.]
no subject
[She's grateful that her own body has not changed much, even with the loss of the spellcasting abilities she's used to having at her disposal. It could have been far worse, and she's grateful to have come to this place unscathed. If only others had been so lucky...
But she does not allow herself to dwell, and her smile remains, becoming more genuine as she feels her feet lift off the ground. It's not an entirely unfamiliar feeling, but it's been quite some time.]
I will let you lead the way, new friend!
[She nods once as she defers to Agate, and as the familiar guides her to where she's meant to be, she grabs hold of the spear belonging to a suit of armor to help anchor herself.]
You know, the two of you are likely to be quite popular among the visiting students— I am sure I am not the only one who has found themselves in such a predicament.
no subject
He adjusts his sleeves once he's standing next to Flayn again, shifting his weight to account for his familiar.]
Yeah, there have been a couple so far. New Reclaimers like yourself... but ones who aren't used to magic at all. You can imagine how frazzled they were about the whole thing, I'm sure.
no subject
[She's never known one herself, after all— and nope, there's no retroactive foreshadowing here! As Agate reclaims her perch, Flayn chooses to curtsy to the both of them, bowing her head slightly in the process.]
Thank you very much. It may have well taken me ages to cross without your help, Mister— actually, I'm afraid I did not catch either of your names! You may call me Flayn.
no subject
Flayn. It's good to meet you.
[There sure are a lot of cute girls in the Bureau. Lucretia, what's up with that? Are cute girls destined to save the world or—actually you know what, that makes sense.]
You can just call me Ferran, and [he gestures towards the vulture] this is Agate. So—your world has magic, huh?
no subject
[She smiles brightly as she comes out of her curtsy, giving Agate a nod as if to ensure that the bird knows she's included in that.]
Indeed, we have all sorts of magic— anyone who has a mind to study it can learn to wield it, in fact, though some are more naturally inclined than others. What of your world?
