Academy Misadventures.

Tired of sitting around twiddling their thumbs, Hammerbeard, Lemmy, and Wagnor decided to travel to the Capital City Silkstone to keep their skills sharp at the new Adventuring Academy. Lemmy, tired from their long journey decided to turn in as soon as the team arrived, but Wagnor and Hammerbeard were eager to get their feet wet and head off for the Battle Wing. The assistant behind the director's desk quickly pointed them towards a room, and when they entered the battle area, the Staff Wizard summoned a mighty Ogre. Wagnor outstretched his hand and sapped the brute's strength with a Ray of Enfeeblement spell, without it's strength and with Hammerbeard's ancestral training against giants, it was able to only land one hit, before Hammerbeard chopped off his toes and the beast vanished in a puff of white smoke. After a hearty breakfast and a lazy afternoon the team set off for the Skill Wing to test their mettle. The director lead them to a room in which they were told there were 7 targets in the room behind foliage. Their job was to spot and hit the target before their allies did. It was a fierce bout but Lemmy edged out the competition on the last target. The team decided they had time for one more fight before dinner, so they headed back to the Battle Wing and Hammerbeard enthusiastically told the assistant that the team wanted to fight a dragon! The Staff Wizard was more than happy to summon a Very Young Green Dragon, that gave the team more than a challenge. Out of spells Wagnor decided to join the fray and though his dagger ripped the beast's wing it turned to him and expelled a line of corrosive gas from it's mouth, the Wizard was unable to dodge the breath weapon and fell to the ground unconscious. Hammerbeard slew the beast and a team of healers quickly revived the fallen Half-Orc. The team went down to the mess hall and enjoyed a lavish dinner before returning to their room. Another day's adventureing complete.

Ok so it looks like we're going to play again on Thursday night. Nate gets out of class at 10. If we have enough people to play we can do a real adventure as opposed to Academy stuff. Comment if you can/want to play Thursday night.

If you haven't made a char yet also comment with when you're free and we'll roll you up like a big ol burrito.
