wow it's an impressive skill every time every time I burn myself yeah you don't yeah I usually don't burn myself on the thing itself I think usually just yeah it's just like it as well okay the easiest way is to not touch the really hot part yeah but my brain goes that looks fine that's me as a kid because I touched like one of those Skillets uh Tahoe Jones they're like hey it's really hot and you're like let's see let's see all right I never touched the whole thing ever again in California as you can get touching a hot Skillet at Tahoe jokes hey Mia can you do me a favor no can you hit that light right there no wait yes yes it's that one thank you the lid so um Colton shut up please stop talking about WrestleMania or keep talking because Jordan's not present maybe this is not actually strict saving maybe this is Jordan's WWE theme role why am I here because I don't care wow all right there you go they do oh yeah [Music] wood table guys strict Haven is a school of Majors it's a college where lots of people from around arcadios and potentially other planes and to learn magic to hone their uh potential for what they use their magic for uh strix Haven however um implores an idea of opposites they're the um the the theme behind the entirety of the school is their differences in dichotomy each College represents an ideal yeah the other half of it sort of opposes it just in nature this um explore this exploration of opposites uh leads to not only experiments but growth I don't think I've ever had the start of a game where my mic wasn't on um these opposites are explored to lead to experiments and growth sort of like um imagine if you will a battlefield an ancient Battlefield um Wars have raged across it time and time again across years and yet as the uh metal uh uh pieces of armor and weapons slowly left on this battlefield nature overtakes it over time it's trampled once again and yet through time there's this flower just blooming in the center of this amassment of metal no matter how often the world may trample this flower this Lotus it does not falter um this Lotus specifically is sitting in the middle of the battlefield in the center of what looks like a metallic hand that has been overgrown by uh grass and nature and life itself it's peaceful and Serene here the air is clear there's a ton of wind in the distance and Callisto you are staring down at this this Lotus this forgotten place that you've noticed for a long time um it's Serene it's peaceful um and it calms your mind but uh you are here for a reason and if you wouldn't mind uh can you describe um your character uh Callisto is a very delicate looking half elf she has green eyes and very long white hair that flows into a light blue ombre on the bottom um she's dressed in very mystical clothing that at the same point is just practical enough that she get around gets around in it very well in a longer side constantly with her is this glass woven wolf that's about half her height always on the watch and keeping an eye out for her yeah those ears sort of perk up and turn to see a familiar face you see um uh sorry I'm all over the place right now um yeah you see uh this this half Elven um individual he sort of staring around pushing past the nearby trees and uh like his foot running into like a nearby piece of buddies and he turns uh he sees you he says Callisto and he makes his way over towards you sort of kneeling down wavy sort of pale blue hair um sort of similar to the Ombre colors his gray eyes just sort of meet yours and he just says what are you doing I thought I would you know one last time what just he sort of notices that's beautiful I have did you know about this place yeah you see that I was I was frantic I was searching around putting I couldn't find you I didn't I didn't know where you would go I was afraid yeah run away I thought about it but no I mean Callisto you are very special I know your father isn't here and I miss him too but you know you know it is proud of you for this and he holds out that uh strix Haven acceptance letter listen Veil is she's not really a friend but in time she will be and her and I are able to communicate especially across all these planes if you ever need me I'm not too far away it helps a lot and she'll give him a hug yeah he kind of hugs you hugs you back and he says all right oh you're going to do so well but any kind of look saying he says we should hurry oh We're not gonna be late are we um well uh look time operates differently but sometimes it doesn't and I'm just not 100 you can tell he's sort of like frantic and he's panicking he's like eating but he's like pushing it down it's like it'll probably be let's go what's going on here an hour later all right after you as the two of you uh make your way off um and uh as you're sort of walking sort of out of like this uh this like rambly forest and up like this hill um gold uh this like uh green grass sort of transitioning into like these um uh uh Pink flowers covering this field in this hill as he sort of like Crest over it and look down and see like your home um he just says so and he's sort of like rambling onto you says she is silverquiel dusk Mage you understand what all of that means once again but um you don't have to you know find your way into silver quilling you know whichever one sort of like Trails off so you make your way down you know what super cool means yet are you with don't worry you'll understand Chris Mari and I honestly kind of forget the other ones um you make your way over um uh you see sort of standing in this doorway um Veil who you have seen before she's um a taller woman about six feet she has long straight black hair um pretty pale skin she has uh these uh she has like these folds of cloth over her eyes that wrap around to the back and she wears like this long strange clothing something a style that you've never really seen before it's mixed with like blacks and Silvers and it has lots of long drapery that sort of makes its way down in this symbol sort of in the center that represents like a uh like the end of a quill and that of like a half moon and as she notices you um stepping forward she says Okay um are you ready young Callisto yes yeah all right she holds her hand the story and there we are going to cut and switch to that the different scene before each of you you see a bright blue sky um a couple of clouds in the distance there's a sort of haze that sort of comes in as it moves downwards and you see a bunch of towers just enormous Towers um that cross this Skyline and it sort of like zooms inwards to one of these towers pushing further and further in until we're on the inside of it and there's a stone hallway and there's like a sound like and then a small woman comes careening around the other side uh Jordan would you like to describe your character uh yeah Gwen is um a hex blood she is about three foot five she is uh she Bears orange skin um with a tiny antler-like protuberances that come out of the sides of our temples and swing kind of back um they are uh studded with uh night blooming jasmine flowers her hair is uh worn back tight with a giant explosive uh like ball of fluff uh her hair is Gray she's about 20 um she wears a sort of like a poodle skirt um and Grays and purples uh and um as she is she is running she is clutching a book to her chest she has a very heavy backpack on uh and her shoes clop on the bricks uh while a large goofy looking Raven flies over her with a scroll clutched in its claw and so behind like the Raven there's like oh and there's an ax that like hits into the side of the wall nearly missing uh Tobin as uh It clotters To The Ground from the back and echoed sort of gnarled yell just like Gwen uh catches herself and Pops back into frame having dodged and adjusts her a large cat's eyes glasses at her uh her eyes are giant orbs inside these glasses um and keeps going perfect uh yeah you keep running and you keep running and you've made your way into the middle of like this hallway um where you can see what looks like a door um and then another direction to go what are you doing um Gwen uh I think recognizes this hallway uh uh kind of runs over to a a a part and starts uh is this the place and uh first sort of Tobin like turns and looks down at you with that enormous eye and goes yes scroll yeah she unrolls the scroll and sort of like begins tacking it to the wall like it's a like a poster and uh Tobin store says uh like on the ground sort of hopping and turning his head he says I don't understand really why it needs to go with my battle is particularly ping as he hits his mouth up against the uh uh the the walls if he can't even healthy wave top about this a bit of those in your mouth and it goes off you will dis s now we don't even want to talk about it she puts the book down and slings her backpack off uh and opens it to reveal a large kite shield and see perfect uh-huh she takes the book stuffs it into the bag where the shield used to be draws it tight slings the bag onto her shoulders and adjusts and you can hear coming from down the hallway oh Toby we have guests and he sort of turns and he like flies upwards as he sort of alerts down the hallway as you turn and you can see what looked like three four maybe more nulls in um track suits who are bearing weapons um some of them have crossbows other than have like wands and um from one of their wands one of them sort of like turns Koreans down throws forward what looks like an explosive sort of spell that just misses you um as one of them sort of yells you rock your Thief I am not a thief I'm a detective um and as they do so uh they get around you and they're sort of like uh uh uh Carini and closer they know your corner I'm gonna protect your backside um now it's going to protect my front side I think look back and one of the nulls sort of like turns and it like goes and the other one's like yeah and they sort of run towards you as uh they all begin to surround together and at that point the wall explodes out well it explodes that's the spell scroll activates um the dust settles and uh little rocks she goes ah throws the shield as you look down and uh into the middle of this hallway which is now just opened up into the rest of like this Skyline uh before you and there's just wind pushing past is there's a sink the rest of the nulls you can watch and then one of them has like three of his claws upwards he's like basically like pulls himself up slowly sorry darling I've got I've got fly okay uh from out under her shirt and leaps into the air as you leap downwards this null turns and looks down he says just won't forget this as you like continue downwards as you plummet down through the city of towers diving after you but can't keep arms and you watch these like dissipates as you your descent slows eventually as you notice that there are a number of other um uh uh air skips that have like come out of another building that are nearing towards you but then in just a moment uh you feel yourself become a bit weightless you're like this is the token's supposed to do and as you spin upwards there's this purple Vortex that shimmers around you and sort of takes you away you land in the middle of a um uh uh a uh the floor of a Dark Castle uh sort of glowing with like ambient green light um it's quiet and you're like you're just sort of like echoes um you can see before you oh within this star Castle uh the walls are lined with toes um and in front of you is an enormous bubbling cauldron and you hear a voice from behind it that says familiar one it says Gwendolyn do I look like house loverhead no and Andy but I did she turns around from the um you should yell from the other side is her uh crooked nose sort of pushes forward as that uh uh uh raggedy sort of uh elderly look sort of turns towards you and just says because I'm not an ass gift service she makes her way around the cauldron as she does so she's holding on to this small creature um it is a like purple bug-like thing um very clearly uh to everybody else a strix Haven um witherbloom Pest and just like and um she's she's holding it forward it bites her ah she throws it into the cauldron um she says but of course that's why I brought you here and [Music] and then from behind her you see a woman sort of step out from uh Beyond The Cauldron similar as I've described before it is a a taller woman a long black hair um sort of like a blindfold across her eyes um that silver quill sort of get up on her um and she uh uh she kind of holds her faders um like together she stares over at you and I think there's a person yes yes this is um well this is fail oh honey I forgot to tell you so it's tricks even accepted you what is this oh what is the strict tape I would say this is Veil um she's provided me with some excellent information you're going to study it's a college it's a medical college um and she sort of like turns and she takes like a bag and like it's a dripping with like dark icker and she hands it over to your auntie and she sort of like takes it puts it into like her uh her Club she says good evening today oh but I don't have well I don't have many things I suppose I'm ready well get your things ready she's going to take you now uh just a little right now um completely different plane of existence right so far away from here so far a completely different plane of existence I don't know how close my connection will be with you quickly so just remember she puts her hand around it I'm always with you and she takes it off and she opens the bag there's a bunch of screeching pests on the inside and she turns goes Brown Behind called him

her just trying to figure out what it is and and she like she finally decides on one and then she's kind of standing in front of the mirror and she has like a little a little like prestidigitation wand in her hand that she's using to change her hair different colors and eventually she lands on pink and she's she goes she she just kind of looks and kind of you know and then she just kind of

as she kind of goes uh packs the rest of the stuff that she hasn't worn into her bag and she kind of finally like sits on the suitcase and Zips it up perfect uh she kind of heads to the door and looks around her childhood bedroom one last time the walls are just absolutely covered in like posters and paintings and and things that she has drawn on the wall there's no single Blank Spot anywhere in the room yeah um and she just he's a sign and says okay here goes literally nothing uh and she heads out the door as you begin to make your way you kind of head down this hallway sort of heading down and you catch the tail end of what sounds like some sort of like hushed sort of conversations there's like thudding um and you hear your mom your mom say I just don't think leaving off on that and he just says your daddy says I'm not I'm not trying to make a big deal out of any of this I just and then he sort of notices as you come down and he's huh and um uh ashkari is currently uh she's got a

I think she's all right and he stands up and he and he walks over and um it's almost difficult for him to do so he he steps over sort of like looking towards the ground putting like his hand on the

bleached it and colored it so that's kind of crunchy sorry it is extremely crunchy yeah but that's okay just be sure to take a shower when we get to the school use conditioner yeah and not the two in one you always use that stuff that stuff is terrible so many there's there's so many artificial materials in there it's awful you're gonna go bald it's probably gonna be the bleach before you know what that's a very good point which is why you should just use magic like I do but you just have to do it the hard way I guess you better look up now arriving at the uh the Inn that um you know Don and her moms are staying at yeah um and the door's right in front of you okay when was the last time you saw Dawn do you even remember you see uh who you both recognize is Lilia standing at the door saying hey guys you picking up Don now uh yeah yeah that's why we're here it's been it's been a long time yeah yeah were you just were you waiting at the door I was watching the peephole oh cool where's Don it's time to go oh that was really loud um from here uh uh Tyler you want to describe uh not only where Dawn is at this moment but Dawn so opening up the door and looking through it's a an in-room but it's a it's like one of the more larger ones in this particular Inn um kind of it's relatively version of the thing but uh on like the square footage on the base but there is um it's pretty tall because it has got a loft area and you can see up there um you can see a Elven girl um with um or it looks almost like like just a little bit like split down the middle with her hair and eye on this side um being black and then the hair and eye on this side being like uh white and gold but it's tight it's kind of interwoven and tied into a braid behind her um and she's up in the Loft laying on the uh on on a bed up there um just in her clothes on top of the um the covers with like a novel in her hand as um the um uh lilia's wife is down at a dining table um beneath it next to like where the um the main bed is she's like um writing on like in like a notebook wow there's like some like artifacts on the table like clearly old like Pottery fragments and things for you huh I will cut uh cut into that as as uh you're doing that um you can hear the sort of commotion from down there as uh Lilia makes her way um in uh sort of turning uh she sees Talia and uh looks over um uh uh and also sort of uh jittery with excitement never would I ever think as uh as DM position here that um ashkari and Lilia would be on the same wavelength that is so [ __ ] funny um but anyways uh you hear uh your mother's voice so to speak up she says uh don they're here they're here time to go it's yeah oh they're here right now right here we followed you in of course I should have let you do that you did tell us to follow you that's okay um Doncaster swings her legs over the side of the Loft and instead of like properly using the like the ladder that goes up to it she almost uses it like it's something it's almost one hand and she like she like pushes herself when she gets the bomb off of the dining room table actually like bites herself and like uh tally has to move something as she's doing but but like so like nonchalant like this happens all the all the time kind of thing uh Talia sort of like shoves it and it's just like she like rolls her eyes but uh Lilia walks over towards you and it's just like that was nice that was that was great and Talia looks like she's you need to stop encouraging her fall she's gonna fall at a school that we've never been to she's like we went once and looked around we didn't even step foot on it earlier she said about it we saw it so it's fine yet uh no exactly that's what I'm saying okay she stands up um and she says are you ready do you have everything sure yeah she puts her hat on you oh you're right there you are okay that's good um It's like a hat with like a a brim but one size is folded up and has like a feather she says for both so they like look over at you guys we're like we are both so happy for you and excited um make sure you have your letter um and um make sure to visit and come back and all of those things and finish everything that's going on um and uh Lilia says uh looks everything she says if you Old Friends mine used to say get lost in the sauce it'll be okay Natalia's like um I'll try to remember that okay all right well um go uh Ronan good to see you yeah and you and Mallory good to see you as well good to see you too it's been way too long I wish we could spend some time together really but um

much as I am okay good luck all of you thanks and uh the three of you make your way up um and as you head towards the uh City Square where Vale had uh agreed to meet the rest of you she sits there among a different crowd of people um you the three of you very clearly stand out to everybody else who don't pay you too much mind at the center of leonaya here she turns and looks towards you and holds out her hand uh prepared to take you to arcadias if I take you I mean she holds out her hand and there's this energy and this light that reaches out to each of you and she says are you ready yep so let's do it how does this work well you don't have to do anything just hold still um you feel this energy sort of pulse into you there's this um it's different than any normal teleportation that you have ever sort of felt uh you don't feel weightless for a moment instead you feel yourself almost as if you've scattered across reality as if you're PL as if you've been flattened and then pushed back into normal as the only glimpse of what you had saw was that of Stars around you endless Stars only a glimpse though fragment of a second until you appear um in arcadius and sure I should say out up here as you are planes walked within that dark abyss that the three of you had had witnessed for just a moment there are countless stars that get brighter and brighter until eventually they sort of fade and they glow a deep sort of blue color until eventually it's a slow transition outwards from a glass-like orb where this Darkness sort of resembles the ebb of like blue energy you stare into it peering into your reflection Stella waiting for something but there's nothing let me describe your character uh Stella is a over six feet she's six foot something tall lady um got this really dark black hair that kind of Fades into an ash and gray color um bright luminescent yellow eyes uh typical of vampires on ixelon she's got kind of a grayish skin tone and uh incredibly hot ass vampires indeed can't get around it no unfortunately not she's kind of got I'm sorry there's one last thing she's got like this uh almost scales across like her face reminiscent of uh dinosaur scales oh behind you there's a uh someone uh that you recognize who is uh uh Dressed in armor um he's got a a twisty mustache and he says prisoner is ready for you has she said anything else she only wants to speak to you and you didn't think that that was a problem you didn't think to to resistant are you not a vampire she's not of this plane yeah grow some balls next time and she like walks past him he swallows his pride to um make your way through back into the jungles of this island pushing past um into this ancient looking City Stone architecture everywhere um you push towards to a nearby building um walking past other people similar to that of you so you make your way down the stair where there's guarded by two more of them two more guards so you head down uh you see um a uh like a jail but it's uh there's no metal it's all Stone it's just like a stone underground jail it's deep beige color with the sunset or sorry Sunrise sort of bleeding in casting like this orange glow across all of it before we step into it she's in a turn she doesn't put her hand on the the man's breast yeah yeah she says um at least try to do one thing correctly it don't interfere with what I'm about to do to her yes ma'am she tells me she would make her way down um as uh within this cell uh you see as I've described before that Avail um very out of place here the silver quill garments the uh blindfold um maybe not the black hole but regardless the rest of her attire the way she looks she sort of like sits at the back of it as she looks upwards and sees you come down she's gonna hold her hands outwards if I told you your best chance of surviving was to leave you've had a week to think it over did you uh find any more suitable options you know you are arrogant to say the least I'm arrogant she goes what what why would I try to comment barter with you she uh stands up and she says I'm not offering any sort of trade I'm granting you an opportunity um and she holds out the strips acceptance letter exactly this Lush environment but the knowledge you could accumulate the secrets that you could uncover far more than what you'd accomplish here she starts counting in her head uh 10 9. like trying to try to keep your eyes she's like what what is your plan exactly she goes you are surrounded in a jail cell and you expect me to be able to walk us out of here I can do more than walk you just asked me I am a very powerful individual I could escape this place if I wanted to yeah and that's why I'm here why I haven't given in to anybody else well I've been waiting for you Stella she holds open the letter and it has her name on it she says you got in but you were able to get in and I'm giving you this opportunity and she throws it she's like so take it she's like lift it flutter to the ground she's like um you're already enrolled I've got dorms and fellow students that are waiting for you you only hold your hands like through the stone bars need to take my hand what can I possibly expect finance and that I can't find it here I don't know if I can properly set up those expectations but answers to your questions Mysteries she looks down at like your pocket um you're telling me that you have information about this I don't necessarily have the information but I know of a place that does a place where you can do your um whatever whatever you do you're you're um The Conquest the conquesting yeah upon this school and um accumulate what you need to accumulate um she looks back she goes do you understand that if I leave with you that I'm deserting she hold her hand back he says I don't know how time will pass here I'm not I don't have the ins and outs of all of those questions or or what could possibly happen to you here still I know your command a large number of people I know you have a certain amount of power but if you want to increase that if you want to be who you've always wanted to be it's not going to seem like the jungles of exalon once you um arrive at strix Haven but if you fit in and you do what you're supposed to do and you get along with everybody you will become so powerful it's trying so hard not to realize right now she's like no I I hear you she goes if she's going to reach her hand through and grab her by the the clothes she's a pull right against the bars I was like oh she goes you dumb [ __ ] you should have left when you were given the chance okay give me your hand already well destroy you yeah it worked better in acting damn bargained away um really as um the reality around you shifts same thing you sort of feel yourself sort of like flattened become almost nothing and then return back to that state of who you were before uh you feel very very sick as you suddenly sort of like look around and gather your senses it's not that feeling like I described before of like floating and then like you hit the ground it's just like there it's almost like a burning sort of like um acidic sort of nature that uh uh uh infests like the entirety of your body until you uh your vision sort of adjusts as you look around um and uh give me this little circum um you see uh what looks like um like a bright blue sky up ahead of you um two sons uh one's a little smaller than the other one um there are um trees around you but they're very obviously sort of like like placed they're not it's not it is natural but it's um it's constructed right there's Stone and almost like concrete underneath you um and you see these enormous floating pieces of of rocks or similar to this back here the um star Arts that like hovers overhead as uh you stand in Center campus um this is nearly foreign to you um and you're kind of like in between a couple of trees and like a grassy sort of like cut out area there's like a bench in front of you there's no students um and uh you're almost like near a bush and Bell standing next to you um and she says all right uh them she points over to a group of people she says them all right they're my food they're not your food no no no no no no no Stella no don't conquer them don't there they're my friends dude this sickness sort of like overtakes you once again as you begin to um uh feel more of this plane that you're on your connection to the orb sort of the windows because it rushes back Suddenly It's power like intensifying this before slowly fading back into its numb what you think of this presence and then as you sort of adjust Veil is holding a pile of folded fighter and she says put these on you can be walking around here dressed like a conquistador she I'm sorry is that no it's not accept what do you mean it's like look at that guy you look over you see uh walks of Dawn and he's walking already looks oh he's wearing fine robes and and next to him is uh is is a janasi woman with like red bluish hair and she's uh uh got on like a proper looking clothing she says you do not fit in here I've told you she said there's a point of the person who's cosplaying in the distance she goes [Music] hang on we should redo that I I get these back though like you're not taking it from me and you can do whatever you want with them great just don't wear them I guess sure all right mom um I have professor things to do just just to just real quick um there is someone I know who who would love this like hole thing it's more Vibe of it it's not me but someone I do do care about uh would it be possible to to like have them be accepted here too could you pull strings for them at some point you've been here for five seconds yeah I know sure whatever whatever gets you to stay here perfect see you later Val she in a um what it happened before is sort of like a blinding flash of light uh instead it you watch as um like Inky Darkness like consumes her she disappears and there's just a drop of ink it hits The Grass until it like bleeds into it I think she likes me uh she will go ahead and uh probably just start removing her armor and changing into clothes awesome um right in the middle of Campus hell yeah can you roll stealth can you do the first roll again sorry have you met her disadvantage no 16. okay um you do so um and then eventually uh a find a way over towards this group of people um you push forward through your fingers out of the of the um of the tree line into the sunlight very good YouTube um and as you walk over towards the screen you can see um as previously described a small lady with a big floof of hair uh giant glasses and a big-eyed bird um you see uh a uh as if split right down the middle uh uh Elvish woman who uh girl really who uh uh white black two different colored eyes uh a hat that you kind of recognize they say hey I get that one um uh no uh what is happening here this this is uh yes yes or no uh is it just foreign to you completely um and then uh you also see uh Vibe small even though Gwen is smallest her vibe is extremely tiny and then another Elvish looking individual I mean she looks beautiful and um near perfect and um she is standing in fifth position all the time and as Stella walks up on all of you what are you doing hello my name is Gwen I am not a gnome she gets down on your level I'm sorry I called you a little patronizing I don't need to do that I find it better I don't know if I could reach up to you you're very tall I am so and I like to look people in their eyes what's the first time are you then I know if you're not a gnome I've been told that we're going to be friends is she gonna come over and put her arm around Callisto and she goes so where are you all from are you from here please

parents are all friends yes they used to adventure together come from they saved the world very far west they save the world that comes so cats are like the defining thing yes yes I assume yeah and the whole bit about it being in the sky that's kind of a big one too but of all the islands in the sky no no it's just special form makes her way over towards the group uh almost towering not towering but a huge taller than Stella um as an outlet uh woman sort of looks down very fine looking clothing than strix Haven Stars sort of like up and onto uh her robes um she has like uh some like a Fair sorry feathers and like hair like pulled back into like uh like a bun um and she has uh like yeah yeah and uh uh White sort of like Fern feathers at the front of her face like sort of like sharpen it

okay am I being used to prove a point yes maybe uh seems like it is a strong word um okay well you two figured that out I okay a cell reaches over she runs her hand through um Mal's hair and then remember through ronan's hair is about the same softness this one softer yeah she goes you know what maybe you should borrow it all right it might help it's very nice attached to my head just the conditioner yeah uh where are you from uh I don't know if you would have heard of it but it's a nice little place uh called excellent nope yeah there's dinosaurs there that's cool yeah have you ever ridden a dinosaur written one yeah no no yeah whoa I've seen a couple of dead ones yeah we have those too long then like bones yes oh yeah I know we have dinosaurs on the Toledo planes the hotflings ride them oh yeah horses halflings have you had Toronto Plains the uh oh and just let you guys know um the little slideshow that's going up right now it's I got the character stats on it I just want everybody know that uh uh I got a big shout out to Drew who sort of helped me sort of design the way that that looked but also uh all of the stats are drawn by everybody um they're designed by you guys and you guys did them and wrote them in so there's fun little details and stuff on them but yeah Craig helped me little uh little little character notebooks for character stats and stuff so yeah uh anyways uh as you guys are sort of talking um mavinda's uh soft voice like picks up from the distance but it still sounds very soft she says all right all the groups let's meet together and she's sort of standing in the middle middle of Center campus where it's just this wide open uh space um and uh where all of these sort of like Pathways just like converge and you can see a number of other students like five six seven there's even more like 10 other groups of about six uh that make their way over they're sort of like confused talking there's just chatter just sort of filling the air as you guys make your way over we have okay sounds good excuse me changing the way all right so um you guys head over and as you do uh you can see uh there's a couple of other groups of people who are just sort of like mingling looking around uh and uh mavinda is going to each group and she's handing them like a pile of things um she pulls them out of a bag on her side that sort of like like the bags this big and the things coming out of it are even larger she hands them over um and then eventually makes her way over towards the rest of you and she says all right so these are um here are some of your school supplies that is oh first of all I should congratulate you for getting accepted here at strix Hayden University I'm sure you're all going to do fantastic here you're going to have a uh uh campus tour and then we're gonna Circle back around there's a job extracurricular fair that the students are putting up um and then we're gonna have lunch and then we'll do a scavenger hunt oh and then he'll get to go to your door don't head to your dorms yet in case you know where they are sometimes students do some students I'm sorry dorms yes but but nicer softer nice Barracks is a strong word yeah regardless I have some of your supplies for you here these are uh this is uh for you these are your social tones here you are thank you um if another creature writes their name into this Tome and you write your name into theirs you can communicate via this tone anything written down on the page with a Creator's name appears in their tone on the page with your name um multiple creatures names can be written on a single page to allow each creature to communicate with each other and if a page containing a name is ripped out from the tone the name Fades from the from the named creatures tone uh the Tome has a total of 300 pages and uh written in sort of like the instructions of that's put on the front of this book replacement tones quills and Pages can be acquired at the biblio place um this is a way that you can communicate and text each other yes group chat and then she hands hands you a bag um she says these are your spell satchels you just take one and pass it down uh this Satchel has a central pouch and two side pouches Each of which is an extra dimensional space each side pouch can hold up to 20 pounds two cubic feet and the large Central pouch can hold a hundred pounds of material eight cubic feet the central always weighs five pounds basically remove an object from this happen requires an action and the middle back already contains 50 pounds of acquired strict saving materials such as tones books and official documents the right side pouch contains eight scroll tubes that should remain empty and uh kept in your spell Satchel any deem can take or remove objects from any student's right side pouch the same goes for any Professor that you have a class with typically this function only serves as a way for professors to give each student a copy of a syllabus or homework um and then uh she says and uh you'll each want to pin one of these onto you they're very important obviously so take them off these are your safety charms um uh and she's wearing one as well you can see it's sort of like a um like a sloth um The strix Haven star which is that like purple like 10-sided star um and she says uh while within five miles of a magical snarl on their snarls on each side of the campus along with one in the center uh faculty can detect your presence and pinpoint your location if they need to we don't we don't know where you all are at all times but whenever you fall to uh but Jacob speaking whenever you fall to zero hit points each faculty member within 500 feet of you is notified additionally whenever you would die for the first time in a day you instead fall unconscious with nine levels of exhaustion just to reiterate for everybody else at home we are running with um alternate exhaustion rules so you guys can have upwards to 10 levels of exhaustion uh instead of just six um except ten you're dead but because of this you actually don't you just hit nine so long as you don't die twice um and uh each level of exhaustion gives you a minus one to all of your D20 rules that's basically how it works not uh previous uh uh like speeds have and then you get disappeared it doesn't matter um also on top of that where uh if any of you have seen the recent video that I've uploaded we're running with the dying condition even though you guys won't really be dying when you hit zero hit points you go into a stasis where you're able to use your action your bonus action and reaction but it costs you levels of exhaustion so you're not exactly out you can still do things if you want to but you so many levels of exhaustion with that sort of out of the way you guys sort of gather things together and as um a couple of other uh helper students sort of help movinda she gives the other objects to everybody else she says all right we're going to begin our tour now so uh let's all walk together and you all begin to make your way across the campus and uh as you do um there's a num there's just a group of other students who are looking around and sort of like meeting one another um just as much variety as there is here within this group you look around and see uh you see humans elves goblins Orcs um you don't even know what some of these people are uh just uh uh a variety of students who are here on their first day excited the inner the the air is filled with energy um but you guys start walking and you make your way over towards the uh like the uh North what is this North West is this where else yeah yeah Northwestern side if you want to move that picture and move into there um uh to our strict saving map which is sideways sorry but uh it's for everybody else here um you guys get to this long sort of pathway and bridge that lead to something in the distance um but as you get closer there's this Carriage that is pulled by these mechanical horses and uh navinda starts loading students on as you guys start to make your way across uh this bridge um and as you head across uh slowly you uh you guys are just kind of waiting it's like a couple of minutes sitting there great looking across this place is pretty cool I mean it's great I'd heard a bit about it but this oh my gosh defies expectation are you all like nervous or excited like have you been looking at any particular colleges or yeah I literally just left today oh I wasn't told there were Cottages oh they just they just sprung that up right they just said you have to go now oh that's a little awkward no my auntie cares for me quite a bit she is clearly you know she knew that I wanted to go to magic school and she made it happen so I don't doubt well I guess as long as you're but she sprung it on you I sprung it on me I got back from a task that I was doing and she said you have to go now here's um The Blind Lady you're talking about Veil Veil oh I don't think she's lying well why she got some Rags on her eyes I don't know fashion people cover their eyelashes fashion unless they got glasses like I do I think maybe you failed like me see but without eyes Maybe oh it's like a song like she sees many things but maybe but doesn't see but you're saying it failed took you here yeah oh and you did Vail take you here too yeah oh yeah we all use the same school bus trying to what's the school bus you guys the little lion it's the cat bus from Totoro yeah we don't have those in our GPS in a minute mm-hmm do you want to like oh it's just a it's a continent from our home plane so reminiscence about We're Not Gonna know yes it's sorry it's weird to talk about it because like you guys aren't from True from our home so I love hearing about new places we're gonna have to I don't know we're just gonna have to come up with a a way to be like oh alert gonna talk about home for a minute you guys might not understand what I'm talking about kind of thing so like I don't know maybe raise your hand if you're gonna start talking about stuff that people might not know about just for everybody's sake mostly mine um to be honest I would love for you to tell me more about whatever clearly has yellow eyes yeah I have to show this to you guys in a minute I know you're totally talking about a question but this is Center Campus Center campus also look at all those little people down there we're out there somewhere yeah basically right there behind that tree exactly I should have rolled a performance check and not a stuff these really are the best days yeah it's it's what's that little kid from my hero Academia yellow eyes pale skin yeah yeah she's noticeably have her I would say herself is more gray that it is pale it's it is a sort of a darker Hue but it's very good I guess what I I quit does Gwen clock this would would Gwen know you can roll an archana check if you'd like probably talking about um appearances one thing I forgot to mention about Don's appearance is um on her right hand she's wearing like a glove and she's not wearing them very cool interesting oh my uh eight eight uh there's Gwen's very excited you're very excited to eat it you're like it'll come to you it'll come to you at some points how many different types you know you'll figure it out at some point but you've but you're used to this one you've got like eight things on your mind that you're all trying to suss out at this current moment so you know it'll come to you eventually sort of like uh flavoring and it's like when when will eventually know just in this exact moment it doesn't right but you guys get off the little carriages and you follow the groups as uh you guys make your way over and um are heading off this bridge uh and uh before you is the Lord campus a little bigger big old guy Dusty yeah it is Dusty you guys are right because Leona is over a desert oh wow that does not look exciting yeah we're like over it oh yeah yeah and you're over a giant hole huge hole underneath you you cannot see the bottom that place doesn't look safe so don't go down a deer she's not wrong that's pretty Sound Advice actually you know don't you want to go down there I mean I do you shouldn't okay we should do that we're not we just got here and you're already talking about breaking down so not right now but like right no they're not on the bus lavinda begins to um sort of uh speak out and she says um this is uh lower Hope College the College of rkomancy um and you guys notice now that her voice is sort of like carrying even though she's pretty far away all these students are for picking up some are just like not paying attention looking over the side there are like two other students looking over the edge sort of like like thinking about like what to do and then sort of like back away there are a couple of other like three other students who are standing for just like writing everything down um uh and she says rkomancy is a term that describes the exploration of ancient things through magic its Mages explore the past by pouring over archaeological sites calling forth magical energies from old tomes and summoning the spirits of long dead historical figures lower hold Mages travel far and wide across the world here at arcadias Gathering relics of bygone ages and learning dead languages to impact the secrets of History you guys walk across your led to the different uh areas of the campus including that of pillar drop which is a part natural Chasm part archaeological excavation and part new construction killer drop is a series of buildings excavated out of cliffs on the lower home campus runes and upgraded Halls together are now used for research classwork and housing precarious Bridges link one neighborhood of pillar drop to the other often directly passing the enormous Stone faces of old statues and From Below you can see what looks like um like there's not a whole lot of students here at the moment as you guys are kind of here like a few days about a week before school actually starts but there are a few and you can see a couple of eager lorehold students in their uh red and gold Garb making their way over with a rope descending down into pillar drop um as uh they head downwards and then like Beyond them you watch as like a stone statue connected via Golden magic sort of like like flies upwards and like lingers sort of pretty far away from you guys like near the edge all the students are sort of watching is it heads back down and moving just says a pillow drop Warden if you fall they'll catch you no don't jump they're not perfect all right we should totally Michelle like right now yeah no not right okay okay but like later you heard the whole like kind of works not all the time yeah that's happening right but we also have these uh little trinkets that are safety charms so between a safety charm and between uh what was it a warden as like a completely different student looks down at you and he just says oh it's a pillar drop Warden this is like a like a five foot human um and he he's he's bald oh thank you yeah a pellet drop between the pillar drop wallet in our safety charm I'm surely absolutely fine kalista can you imagine just running off a cliff and falling I mean are you good job 100 feet I should probably tell him he turns away hey hold on wait wait wait wait wait what should you probably do what should you probably do I sound what should you probably do huh what should you probably do I'm sure probably what's your name my name is you should probably do find your own business I think we're gonna get left behind if we you know stay for too long look Bogan you can either jump safely with Stella and I Aura he goes oh um [Applause] we're just kidding bow again what a silly joke I would never jump off I love my life too much for that I mean it would be very dangerous goodbye Bogan I hope to see you again oh I think it's got to be a body too it might save the part it's attached to but you know the pieces it wouldn't that would be the yeah your arm your your little this this multi-tiered Gallery built into a large outcrop the end of Effigy row which is where you guys are currently standing Effigy row is the heart of lorehold Campus is surrounded surrounds a soaring bridge that crosses the chasm of pillar drop um and there's like all these statues sort of like lined up on the end of it but this multi-tiered Gallery also known as kalema Hall um uh at the center of of the hall Towers a magnificent statue of kalema a wise monastic who was once one of the first borehole professors you guys are in here for like a few seconds a few minutes and then you guys are heading out she says all right we have a lot of other campuses to see so let's continue on where are we heading next uh we're making our way to Silver quill campus now it's very beautiful there I love silver cool again though I can't pick one favorite but I'm sure you're going to like it all the students start remembering towards each other you see some kids he's like just like telling his other students just be like hey you one place it's called a rose page it's awesome Dawn I don't know how to put a fine point on this about you you appear to be two house a person [Music] made into one I'll just I'm curious because I've never seen I've never seen that before that's a very good question do you think there's another one that wasn't a question that was an opposite okay that was a very good observation so here's the question yeah you're still going I wish I knew what are you saying history and there's nothing I love more than a 500 quit drop he said [ __ ] mystery Don I think we're gonna get on like like peas in a pod can you turn your head you are met with your own reflection as you back and you see the Tobin is honestly Calvin don't be reared don't be rude it can't really help being weird he's got a giant eye hello Tobin okay yeah good bird my York's pets oh that's good little strokes on his head he flies back over towards you he goes oh you should go find it too far I points over it though I don't really look at me man you smell other raven like like oh don't like this Don you have any Ravens in your pocket oh look we're here and make our way over and you see that of a suitable [Music] that was what we were just at e those should have been our magic word it's very different oh wow silverquill as mavinda sort of explains it's a college of eloquence and its majors stylish intimidating and driven are masters of the magic of words they create spells from Spoken Word Battle poetry or magical manifestations of the written word describing patterns of runic ink into the air these Majors make for natural leaders fiercely competitive with a piercing wit and never second place attitude you guys walking across make your way over towards uh the grand Loft Hall that's much more angular and organized here in in silver quill comparison to to lorehold there um it has uh like structure to it there's a lot more buildings here rather than like a bit it doesn't look like it's just a dig site um you head over to Grand Loft Hall it's a fast space shafts of light streaking in from the enchanted window pings far above the grand Loft teams with balconies booths dazes and other spaces where orders can perform their craft and as you guys are sort of looking out and Beyond the CC there's like a fountain but it's not there's nothing in the fountain except for black liquid um and the fountain isn't running um and out of the fountain like this it gets the like uh the dark icker begins to uh peel upwards and there is this creature floating made of ink with a devious looking face just sort of like and it like drips across the ground as it continues to make its way over towards each of you um and uh stops and like watches is like it's like should we be concerned about this no no we've got this watching and probably one of those wardens from the other one unless you're all backing up Gwen would be curious so you get closer yeah I'm not really backing up I'm not really getting close and it like looks down at you and it's like monster that's a judgmental term hello what's your name like are you named a okay I think that's Complicated by this ice fit into your skull wow how oh it becomes don't mind them apparently that's a common thing oh wow oh you walk over put it in absolutely your hand is carving an egg dripping stained great um what's everybody's test perception yeah 14 nine I was about to say it was really funny to me that like runes like don't worry I've got them they don't know how to navigate which way are we going Ronan oh this is no idea 14. 14 9 9. 16. yeah okay Callisto like Fountain building in the distance there are like two students in silver quill garm who are turning and they're like giggling to themselves or like and then you watch us like Stella's like putting her hand she's like uh it comes off of your hand and like spits in your face yeah and you you don't notice but the three of you could see the those two just like back are like amazing they're trying really hard not to blow their cover she takes her shirt off wipes her face with it and then puts it back on foreign oh should I no no it's not like that I guess not but most people do I don't know why people are ashamed of themselves wow yeah I guess most people are a statuesque woman yeah you know that's very kind of people um uh anyways that was like an actual spell you know not a creature yeah it was those [ __ ] over there yeah okay so I think we'll come to find that most of the students are [ __ ] they're probably versions I don't know about that but sure well sir I'm sorry [Music] well we just got here ton we can't get in fights on the first day it was just sort of Road into your mom told me I need to make sure you don't get into any fights look there is a lot this way make sure that they know not to do that anymore oh well sure sort of like a like a fountain fixture you're very moist redirection here at least finish them we cut you guys are now we're gonna describe every single time but you guys now um uh the Couture continues on to that um it's incredibly beautiful here picturesque it is the College of numero Nancy a term that encompasses the study of patterns fractals and symmetries to wield power over the fundamental mathematics of nature quadrix Mages can summon creatures made of fractals or turn abstract theories into towering spiraling patterns they love to expand and multiply and they can increase their knowledge or size by bending numbers they dwell in the overlap between theoretical and natural from the fabric of their roads to the nature of their spells they make use of repeated elements whoever symmetries and surprising geometry to express the complex truths they study and uh the most notable thing you guys pass by oh yeah look at the cool picture cool picture look at the pretty Arts [Music] um uh the biggest thing that you guys uh uh you guys see the cultivarium it's an eye-popping sun-drenched Garden of spiraling cyclical plants and fractalized animals um and uh uh you guys are sort of walking around and there's also the arithmedome which is the thing in the center it is alive with Dynamic sculptures made of water behaving in odd ways Cube shaped formations arching aqueducts that flow through the air towers of solid seeming water yes Kalisto Callisto Callisto yeah look at those animals over there yeah they look a little familiar too it's like a deer rainbow it's sort of like a fractal it's like a like a crystal deal yeah I'm sure they don't have are you sure you're not from round yeah I'm not I'm from dominaria I don't know what that is I figured since you know I was just saying that there are little creatures over there astoundingly similar to yours yeah magic tensile patterns you know melvinda sort of turns and sort of speaks up and she says all of this was built and grown by our amazing quandary students they really have a knack for nature not to Discount witherblue in any sort of aspect which we'll be visiting in a second but the beauty of all of this even the grass indeed here at strix Haven there are no Turfs foreign do you want that to be that way because it's not oh I don't know what it's about I'm just asking if it is I will be kind of fun I'm sure I'll ask a lot of questions and I'm not allowing for any answers actually that's true but usually there's like a talking period before you can really start to interrogate somebody about their life questions told me though in whatever the case it certainly seems like you have a knack for this type of magic so by the uo is the right word we have AMC the other two campuses I mean mine's open area like okay yeah what's well excellent has like uh rainforest and murk and uh dinosaurs on it a lot it doesn't have that pirates that kind of come in and like [ __ ] [ __ ] up [ __ ] them right um what about what about Domino's I hate you Mia there's like a college there too yeah why do you stay there it's too far away why are you going across planes is closer oh that's a funny joke I didn't take you for a humorist I was recommended dominaria's I I can't really compare it I don't well none of us affecting each other's faces I don't think we can really describe me what these places right that way does it look like it's campus at all right bushes that are cones cute you arrive at witherbloom was down yeah how dare you the College of this and studies we just draw power from the opposing forces of life and death these Mages Brew their spells from natural components and the essence of living creatures using that power to heal or harm the living to raise or entreat the dead they can cause entire forests to Blossom out of nowhere or call down old curses that Scourge flesh from bone some weather blue Mages defend ecosystems from pollution While others Revel in the power of corruption they're at home writing zombie crocodiles down a language River uh picking herbs for a potion to treat a disease which mavinda is pointing out to each of you like you look down you see on the halfling on the back of a zombie crocodile as they're like like go down like the the river and then you see um another uh student she looks like she's made of leaves deep green skin she's just like picking herbs and she's like muttering to herself and then um there is a a couple of uh witherbloom students standing near like a rock and there's like a chorus of frogs and they're like like a bunch of dust goes in the air and all the frogs go they're like um do they give him like a piece of heart after yeah yeah uh and then uh one of them takes one of the frogs takes it uh pours a potion on it it melts and then it turns into a bigger frog and they're like okay this is a hard left turn from the rest of the campuses melt yeah you yeah you say that you like step back into like something watch your step dear sorry I hope that that is not what I think it is it's just mud you're fine Mel T things are prestidigitation one just we then uh transition from there to the final um uh campus that you guys are are heading to uh which is that of prismari prismari campus is super cool um it is uh if witherbloom was unorganized um you can't even tell what prismari really is um Chris Martin College of Elemental Arts is devoted to the studying practice of art intertwined with magic the Mage students of prismari wield magic and spectacles of creativity masterpieces of Shoei of the top magic they use Elemental Magic to express who they are and how they see the world often combining different types of energy fire water air Earth lightning heat cold powerful Expressions conflict and Harmony as you guys find the different um sides of the uh prismari campus it's a little hard to tell them all from each other as there are just walk works of art everywhere it's like the entire campus is a museum you guys are walking by and there's a student who like leans up against like a nearby Tower and there's a angry prismari student who like runs out it's like a taller looking orc and blue and red robes chicken rice just starts chastising him he's just like I've worked a wrinkle on this and he's like I'm sorry I didn't know he's like damn First Years get the hell out of here and he kind of runs back in as you watch there's just like an explosion that explodes from the inside I'm fine you guys make your way over towards the the conjure Rod Hall which is this enormous Tower at the center of prismari Campus it is a Glaston observation area at the top constantly changing strains of Elemental energy encircle the structure it is glowing and beautiful as you guys stared as it's all of its light sort of like reflects down onto each of you um but with that the uh tour is sort of finished as you guys make your way back to Center campus lavinda leads all of the students back it's been a few hours at this point as you guys come back pretty tired from all the walking but it's only about the middle of the day um as you look up and notice that strict saving specifically is always very well lit especially for the two suns that are just appearing up ahead um there are like double Shadows on almost everything but the smaller sun is not as bright as the sort of the larger one um you don't know how this affects the uh weather and uh uh and and geometry of this plane um um important question how many sons you guys got huh ours has one just the one okay so this is weird right let me let me do a quick Google search wait let me not usual doesn't hurt right I wonder possible there's a prevalence of skin cancer yeah well well I had two sons safety charm dogs um let's answer to everything and as you guys are uh heading along you uh uh come to the center of Campus again and movinda lets you know that she she sort of to all of the groups sort of says out loud she says um you guys should go to the uh the job fairs here in in extracurricular Affairs which is here at the summer Center campus uh we'll meet back up at about 1pm after you've had this and lunch it's about maybe 11 30 at this point um so uh have fun exploring the campus and uh don't get too lost stay here on central campus if you get lost just go to biblioflex and she leaves the other students sort of like disperse at this point as the rest of you sort of look forward and see uh that the center campus which was previously empty is now completely filled with students everywhere there is murmuring and chatting and people and heads bobbing and uh people moving in and out as you guys look around and see all of these people sort of pushing past is you guys are just sort of at the edge of all of the chaos ahead of you their stands and stalls and uh other students sort of yelling their Allen who are flying in um from from from up above who uh are some of them string up banners that go up to like a nearby tree and it says like it's like silk ball um as that happens that yeah you actually see the owling who does that he's got like a leather jacket on it a couple of like a like a necklace like Teeth um and he looks down who's um where's my boy oh yeah yeah give me a second [Laughter] [Applause] says oh there a bunch of First Years how are you doing and he sort of like flies down he says look at the Jordan silk ball Club oh no yeah fly around here somewhere so I don't do

did you ask I was trying to make conversation and then you didn't seem to want to talk about it so I changed the subject I didn't even get a chance to okay well then talk about it what is it dead language is society I mean I don't even know that's what I was going to say students let's go to the biblioplex and as you do you guys have walked across this big ass thing look at that you're gonna have to remove me a big old bridge hey now is enormous on the inside it's extremely uh it is like there's this enormous light sort of billowing hunger bleeding out from the outside that alights up the entire place of like this deep sort of white blue glow um and uh there's huge stairways lots of people walking around faculty staff um all manner of people and there's uh these enormous hallways that are sort of in the back that you guys walk through this building seems almost uh larger on the inside than what it uh appears to be on the outside even though it's pretty large from the outside um there are these huge hallways that you guys walk through that have endless sort of corridors that go to uh different um uh areas of like study there's uh libraries but just before you sort of enter into that space if you sort of see it all as you make your way inside there's this small little uh shop on the outside there's a biblio the biblioplex cafe okay um and there are several students enjoying drinks and snacks um and you guys uh head over you're pretty most of you are probably hungry um and they're like go go eat and you guys make your way um uh over this is food free uh for you today yes yes today only today yeah um so it's free every day you have to fight for it no you guys um head over sit down uh gather some get some food um I've got a thing for this where is it I'm in the wrong spot hang up cool uh and they yep the uh one wall of this area within the biblioplex cafe is covered with a mural made from a living trees root which move occasionally and make this entire Place feel alive uh the ceiling is covered in painted leaves which uh change color depending on the season and currently it's they're sort of like uh like a like almost green sort of like a purpley sort of green as oh you guys are still technically in Winter um but there are uh there's a line of like 10 students and you guys sort of like wait as you sort of get upwards and um there is a random sandwich of the day somebody roll a D6 oh boy it's crunchy frog legs on toast oh my how many of you get that zero they're all contemplating the menu just like yeah yeah but there's other regular sandwiches and and whatnot that you guys can get is like thank you it's like a camera and violet where it's only sandwiches you have to hold your hand out too they put the handle on it if it's bottom who works alone here and uh manages the biblio Plex Cafe sort of says that she's like I can make a whatever but you know crunchy Frog's legs on toast I'm just saying if you haven't tried it it's delicious what what happened try it it's still wow are they sauteed about first years like sauteed in anything uh uh um the flavors salty and crunchy and sort of there's a little bit of like a vinaigrette in there it tastes great those weatherbloom students have some good ideas you know that sounds absolutely delicious but uh I think for today I think I just kind of wanna mustard oh good okay that's not what I wanted your hands I'll remember it forever oh well that's nice um maybe I'll maybe I'll have a drink named after me one day in this uh in this place a girl can dream all right

took someone else's food is gone peppers and salami on a bagel yeah and there's some other kid who's like why are they drink red peppers long on a bagel she's complaining to the bagels and the kitchen well I had one this morning where were you oh I went and got coffee oh yeah nice wait what did the safety job keep me well hey did you escape your knees scrape my face a little bit safer charm only keeps you from death yeah I think it seems like a glaring um so it's not dripping I'm just curious like there's a little red there is a um you just look over here like a little drop terrifying really like like jump scare as a uh that that girl you had seen at the witherbloom cameras just Gathering like leaves and whatnot that one your table leaves you see a couple of bugs moving through her hair as well she's just like watching with her glowing orange eyes contrasting against her green skin and she just sort of stares she's like watching you you don't remember when she got here and she's just like oh oh I am are you talking here so you know that the safety thing it doesn't isn't protect you from everything yeah I got that I fell off my skateboard earlier huh yeah you move why quietly oh you've been following us I was wondering if I could spike your coffee with something wrong it's a black liquid that goes as it goes oh she hands it to you is this gonna kill gonna kill Ronin how do you take you got the safety shirt it's not gonna kill you now she's quiet literally said the safety charge like doesn't protect you from everything but she led with that the sweet delicious uh coffee flavor is now transformed into that of Earth and dirt um you guys watched as uh Black Ink we can start to run down your eyes oh my God oh my God feel it but hey it doesn't feel weird I think she's crying um and as you wipe it uh you guys watch this his eyes just turn like a glowing red color um and Ronin um everything around you gets brighter don't know oh no um and then you can almost uh like like it's like you can see you can see the air um and you can you can hear all the colors um your passive perceptions increased by 10. um you can hear everything but it feels normal but it's like you're aware of so much around you how do you feel Ronan why did you drink it why I feel good where'd you get this oh uh I made that here yeah and you just sold to give it to people yeah bully wug liver mixed with uh a little bit of like a like a grot tooth I found you mix that together with like a little bit of ionized swamp water wakes you right up literal red eye uh let me guess wither blue do you feel more awake prismari first year first that's really creepy Ronin I'm sorry [ __ ] you crawl out of silver quill God you know you you you are you fourth year 's actually okay you're all First Years hmm okay I have more would you mind trying you see somebody sort of uh uh walk over and like grab her shoulder he says Dina we should probably go she goes I am currently hazing the first years the first one wasn't even a first year and he goes we have things to do and he looks down at everybody else she says Killian you should meet the first years you should try being nice and he looks and he says I don't need to stoop down to their level she goes okay guys he's not having anything like Dina did you say one of us was not no you said you said you said the first years and then you said but one of them isn't equal enough well yeah I mean I mean I'm just sitting here before and killing sort of like looks down and he says you're back oh sorry what was that running Killian what are you looking so good um I really thought I had enough of you yeah whoa if you're gonna try and drink silver quill again this year we'll tear you apart I'm looking forward to it dude's like ah well okay that's like Killian why don't you uh why don't you encourage Don to join that's your name all right I really need that uh to possibly join silver Club I mean like look at her it looks down he says you look like a wannabe oh ah this is very rude that's very rude concerning the fact that that why are you coming on people's appearances like that if you can't handle that you certainly get in a silver quilt he's the silver book so then what's the point of the whole College if you're just gonna if you're just gonna demean people what's the point I mean it is the point yeah concerning the fact that they're all [ __ ] word based I'm assuming that you kind of white rounding you were um specialize in and then I knew you're going to uh trying to tear people down to make yourself feel better that is an interesting breakdown of what I am attempting to do but the uh study of oratory within silver quill it helps there's lots of things and there are many to don't seem is that funny yeah I just can't believe you said or twerks it's also funny that you make uh studying words it's actually gonna be worth something I actually think studying yeah I just think you're a big talk that's true right yeah no I mean [ __ ] words all talk no action all right there she goes yeah um okay uh she sort of looks back she says yeah you know I think I think we'd better get back to our first year stuff maybe you guys should get back to you or whatever it is all day but I'm Gonna Leave You Alone Now yeah how long is that Gonna Last what that I don't know I made it today we will see I'll let you know see you guys around I suppose that's killing sort of like walks away he like turns back and Dina sort of looks back to the rest again she says like he's not that bad he doesn't seem like he studies oral well I'm not very hungry sucks at it hi Mel sorry don't die on me on the bird I'm not gonna die forgive me she's a spider she could kill me I could feel the colors right now Mallory this is insane okay okay just try and focus can we get that drink away from yes don't drink it I am not going to drink it I'm going to throw it away I think my Refreshments once you are no longer no I think best friend about him seeing colors I just figured I need to do it or are you talking about him does everybody see colors unless you're like colorblind tell me what the colors feel Tobin's standing no no one when someone like Whispers in your ear and you get those like little tinglings why you might say sweet nothing yeah that's what blue feels like oh wow wow okay I'm actually okay actually continue I'm also intrigued all right that's a little overwhelming kind of feels like when you when you get really close to like a flame like it's bad yeah it's interesting like like warm blood yeah I wouldn't know what that feels like oh yeah what are you okay what about like something like pink like pictures like home okay that's interesting I'm just gonna be like this for a while and it's gone yeah he sneezes real quick it scares babies lovely make some pride yeah it's got like what how many how many little siblings does Ronan have again two little siblings yeah it's a good time interesting first day so might clean that up um yeah wrote In Mind clearing that up I came here for a while and I'm going to do the scavenger hunt now let's all go scavenger hunt do the scavengers even his friends especially their friends yeah you guys uh gather up uh sort of in that giant uh uh room in the center of the biblioplex and um avinda sort of gestures to that glowing light up at the top and she says um behold this is uh is one of the many snarls here uh at strix Haven is a conjunction of magic um it is very strange mysterious properties but it seems to be the source of all magic that most people in arcade can wield and cast wait so how long uh sorry how long I'm sorry [Laughter] existed right and you don't know what they do oh you don't know how they worked over to understand one that is that is what we uh do here in strictly right okay but so if in thousands of years so we're gonna do the scavenger hunt she she dismisses you as if she's done it a thousand times to other students before questions that she has to continue on with uh but she um uh hang on whoa whoa whoa now okay wow so uh she says uh the rules are simple each clue on this list and she hands you guys a list uh will lead you to a different location here in the biblio place this is sort of a way for you guys to better understand the uh layout of biblio Plex here but uh simply travel to the area each clue references and perform the action the clue suggests time is of the essence you only have until uh the end of the of the next 30 minutes to finish wow um solve as many Clues as you can because at each location you may win a prize roll out so I'm gonna send you guys the clues but I'm also going to read them oh God read read more reactivity yeah clue one you'll forget all about any trouble or plight when you step forward and earn snarled in light include two alumni commission works when they retire seeking promising Mages to inspire clue 3 each group deserves a free treat for their investment serve up to this list serve up this list and enjoy your refreshment clue 4 these leafy beds aren't always what they seem give them a pet and see when you see what you glean clue five some stars are ancient enduring and bright but others maybe you are born on opening night there are a lot of locations well I know which one I want to do first but like if you guys want to do a different one I feel like the first one yeah I knew that I'm pretty sure he itself actually um uh it's this beam of gleaming light that goes into like this this stone-like magical NFL that uh like drips down a smokey like liquid magic into a pool close is probably just like and uh so this is gonna start like what are we what are we supposed to do oh you're asking me yeah yeah you um they did not give you much of an explanation they said go find these places under the lip of the connection though yeah yeah I know it's just right yeah are you at the the the no as soon as you said no that's close how about that go ahead and um uh as you so I wait you're going underneath the the snarl yeah that's cool of magic yeah cool can you uh roll a uh it's almost hard for you to even pull yourself up so you're already underneath it you go around it you find absolutely nothing this thing is Seal like pure Stone um there's maybe like a small crack in it towards the bottom but um it looks pretty you think old or maybe magically created you're not entirely certain there's nothing with the crack though as you sort of investigate it nothing at all yeah I say at some point like closer would probably like reach out to it because it's just it's pure magic right yeah um and it is uh like overloading like your senses you as you reach out towards it there's this cacophony of of sights and sounds that you um it just sort of see just all colors as you push your hands into it um and you momentarily lose track of your body overwhelmed by power roll the Constitution safe actually oh no sorry and just to be more specific um uh if you know you want to inquire with moving down let's explain at each of these locations of the scavenger hunt you're going to find either an items might as well good job well she's looking for that trinket cool great seven seven uh Callisto puts her hand it's your I imagine Gwen is underneath [ __ ] magnifying glass staring around as Tobin's following you and then Callisto puts her hand in you watch her she just her eyes roll back and she sings can I catch her uh yeah oh [ __ ] everyone's rolling down yeah but a disadvantage disadvantage I'm in the way no so guys look at all over the place I'm gonna increase your stress by one so this is a mechanic uh stress is a mechanic where you can have anywhere from one to three but if you ever gain a third level of stress or go beyond a third level of stress you gain a level of exhaustion so it's like a mini version of it so level of stress as a Callisto touches it sit down and Gwen's like watching As She Goes Down And Mal and Ronan like Rush forward to grab her but you guys like bump into each other and you're like oh [ __ ] her uh uh luminary sort of like catches her just before she gets the ground and like hits her head onto the flat of the of the ground um as she sort of uh uh falls down and she's like Dazed as her eyes are sort of like uh moving back and forth so you are conscious you might pass out for like a second but you're still there but you're like really dizzy you all right don't touch that my mind Callisto you touched me are you okay what did it feel like uh pure Magic you've never you know just absolute power just uh I think are you able to stand oh mice oh you're on the floor your little pup caught you though yeah the good Patty Deeds stand up and just like I'm smashing has like a little bit like a like a tingling sound because you like the sounds like wind chimes exactly perfect the wing chime could wolf yeah are we gonna do a scavenger hunt uh yeah I mean as soon as people stop reaching into reaching it it's a pure magic unless that's true novel says this in the chat oh no they made mental health a a mechanics really really good guys important it has a big break moment and she is gonna try and do a Callisto did okay Mallory hey if it's a bad idea I'm allowed to do it 17. you reach in same thing your uh you momentarily lose track of your body you were overwhelmed by magical power but then uh you just like force yourself to disengage from it and you pull yourself back and you're like uh and you're holding holding a potion of healing you have a vile it's like a small vial it's not like a like a bulbous sort of at the bottom and it's just like uh I got a potion oh wow that smells like Cherry yeah and there's a little note on the end of it that's a clue one oh oh okay oh [ __ ] hey right they start reaching into it oh gosh okay we better get out of here before this place is they put pillows everywhere Rosie who's got that giant book she runs over she puts the book down she stands on top of her she's like I'm gonna drink it oh my God that's so funny we tastes like bubbles standing on the shoulders of giants right this is great yeah all right put one all right all right we're good um I don't know about you guys but I think Matt I know how we can get Clue number five going out of order do we have to go in order I mean they're labeled if it's a scavenger hunt I mean probably not all right what's clue number five then clue number five obviously has some allusion to uh performing uh in some kind this is a huge place there must be some sort of like Amphitheater or stage here I mean if we could get up there I could do a little dance [Music] it's you know the library stuff campus again that place is cool as hell but okay um but uh if we find a stage while we go around I'm not saying we have to go directly there immediately obviously this is group effort but I could probably get us clue number five I don't think we should I've already done a good job I think I think the more we split up the more like we are to reach into magic fountains oh I'm not saying we should split up I'm just saying we should go to find clue number five I mean not today well I have a suggestion for number three things that could be related to the cafe serving you're kind of close to the Catholic what if it's frog feet oh gee oh I don't oh by the way Gwen the Frog feet were good okay I don't know if I want to go back there if I have to eat frog feet they were crunchy and vegetables be a little awkward that's the tracks what if we put the Frog feet what in a sandwich they put it in onto the pizza no let's not break I don't think that's a sandwich uh look I'm fine if we go to the cafe but I'm just saying okay so clue number three is the cafe what's clue number two alumni commissions work when they retire seeking premising promising Mages to inspire wasn't there a note on the it says clue one is there like a directory for this place yeah you walk over you see a wall and it's got like a bunch of locations uh you see uh that uh within the area that you guys are in you you look down you're like um uh library library second year Library third year Library upstairs different area um Hall of oracles Student Art Gallery biblio Plex Cafe book Garden Amphitheater um book Garden is probably that grass one tonight in Amphitheater yeah Dawn's investigation you you want to help yeah yeah roll with Advantage wow I've never done it now uh I actually have a Proficiency in it uh advantages um 30 20. uh yeah you you guys are turning you're like there there oh and you uh go beyond a couple of pillars beyond the the center circular area um and in the middle of like this this this uh uh this like column it's like this huge vaulted ceiling there's this raised stage uh where a couple of students are doing some poetry to like nobody it's like and thus I was fairly distraught I was like one guy he's like nice but you guys walk over and see this they're like and within the grasp I tookith her hand yeah and I took it as an a word poetry yeah got it hello what um keep going he Dazzle my Bedazzled bequeath into my uh if I may if yes you're just saying words no yes he's like a distance where he's like I'm reading poetry what do you want it's not really good yeah we're trying to do the scavenger hunt one of the clues leads here and oh so if you don't if you don't mind yeah um no oh I don't think it's gonna be a very bright one stone you know to be honest I'm trying to figure out the scavenger hunt as well I thought this was the clue but it's not working wait you thought well you were just gonna come here and read poetry out loud and that would solve the mystery I feel like once forward stencil stage okay let's let's let's start somehow it's done now okay hey uh Mallory gets onto the stage she is going to take her there as you stand in the middle it like glows and there's a number of circles that glow like a number of different circles around as you shift your feet you notice that it like shifts them in certain directions um so if I if she like moves her foot in one direction does it move you how quickly do you move your foot like a little what do they call that [ __ ] in ballet yeah well then Mallory is probably just gonna like do like a cool [ __ ] Dancer too go for it hell yeah I am not nearly qualified enough to improvise explain how it goes um hell yeah nothing hold nothing oh my God the dice today I mean the highest was a 13 which is so Mal gets on top of the stage she's like oh you guys are watching you're like and uh she like puts her foot forward you see this like light reflecting off of her face and she like she like pushes into uh like a spin and then uh uh fold her leg upwards uh and then like hold her arms up but like she isn't you are doing your best but you sort of feel nervous like you're just you're just kind of in the middle of nowhere there's like no music you're like and I'm trying to fulfill like a certain requirements but like you jump and you land and you're you're uh your leg very quickly like spins across the stage and as it does so there's this shock of flame that goes up the back behind you um and uh as that happens there's a clang from behind uh from behind it as well so you turn around and you see um uh there's a hooded Lantern I just landed on the stage just like has like little bits of flame in her hand and she like kicks her leg up at the air and she's goes down to the splits she totally meant to do that I think he broke one of the lights I think you pick it up it says clue two or glue five I think I'm actually a genius oh damn it and he runs up on the stage anymore I should try breaking some lights he jumps and he lands on his face yeah so so we have clue number one healing potion clue number five kind of thing thank you you had an idea how is Oracles yes I feel like Crystal probably I've done that too actually no all three of them yes so let's go yeah you guys yes no I was just like look I I'm kind of worried that we might be rushing this a little much no no no we have to win no the answer is so too obvious um I think that uh we should definitely maybe take a little tour just even get a bird's eye view of everything so we know for sure that that's what we we need to do are you suggesting we go upstairs yep right is it upstairs restricted it's not the first level yeah I mean no Stella but if we if we go off track now someone else might solve the mystery before we solve the mystery okay but Gwen do you know that there are layers to this place that don't get access to right now probably for good reason yeah so like people don't plummet 500 feet or stick their hands in a magic um imagine what's on level five right now these are the these are all the the dangers that we have a immediate access to unfetter well you can you imagine with them I'm not saying we shouldn't poke around places upstairs I'm not saying that we should just get like right did you get a scavenger hunt last night so do you know all the answers thank you and you look around like the really long hallways that are just like endless columns around you and um you don't know where they are there's nobody around so what we're going to use a staircase nearby it's nearby the stage but it's like stage so were you supposed to stick your hand in Magic like last time or was that also changed oh yeah Is this different that's different was it easier or harder I don't know how long ago here uh let's keep going guys that is long that is not objectively a long time like 100 times maybe I'm only 20 years old how long have you been trying a long time a lot okay for that explains what do you guys know that everyone was gone for like an entire year yeah Ronan how come I don't know this is a breach of trust guys let's let's not focus on this right now let's focus on the scavenger hunt yeah and then we can maybe hash out some other stuff later I'm just saying that they would definitely hide the names of the alumni people upstairs I don't know do they have anything else I mean it says commission maybe there's like an art gallery or or or like a like uh I don't know what else do people commission like like uh music why don't we go with callisto's idea and then if that ends up being wrong we can go somewhere else I think I could get us there maybe we also know for sure the cafe so you remember that but you don't remember the clues from last time pretty sure I I you think it's easier to remember clues that I read a year ago instead of a place that I've been to before makes sense sorry remember a year is a very last time is that how long ago you've been here too okay let's go let's go to the cafe yeah um heading back over towards the Hall of oracles um and you headed to um the ceiling gets a little smaller and you're like yeah heads over to the hall and you turn and you see uh not that you see another very large stairway and then you're like this right and then wrote a new sort of turn and you look off and um you have no idea where you are you look around for a directory there's nothing you're surrounded by like endless Halls that are enormous and there's nobody around you so what was it about knowing where to go this is not the way we came though this is totally the way to the cafe Hall no it wasn't we were going to the hall I thought we were going to the cafe that's probably what happened we came through a little earlier Echoes nothing the Acoustics are really great mirror that's worrying um one would like to make it like a perception role to just listen like I imagine that in the like where we were in the heart of the business ambient noise no no I was just saying that uh Malibu um hello of people talking in footsteps and whatnot is gone you just kind of wait until everybody's silent for a moment everybody um I think that's my point where where we were it's very loud so loud that it just sort of drowned out in the background there has to be an explanation well yes yeah I mean it's got a good map somewhere I mean you found the directory earlier do you know um closest gonna like pull up the social tone yeah like did they get the number from um what's her face yes it should probably just be like whoa oh that's weird you notice that they're like five pages torn out uh I I don't ruin books well well I do yeah pulls out first social check your social times and they are all I keep mine closed okay a good like the same 20 pages I understand what's going on yeah what do you think it was me sabotage us Mallory is quite the question isn't it yeah who was it what to send that first day well I am not running anyone in this small group because all of our books have been torn up all right what if whoever tore them out also tore out theirs coincidence I'm not saying it's a coincidence it could very well have been anybody who was also a praise God they said that there are Rewards I mean um it echoes from these stairs that lead upwards these aren't just the normal stairs that are here it is a uh this is what looks like it leads up to the second angle they're this enormous uh like 10 15 foot wide stairs that go all the way up and into the ceiling all right hello I think there's one way to go I'm gonna start walking up the stairs why did I walk over towards the stairs running the stairs shift and um accommodate for like your foot size and uh make their way upwards um and if you want to the stairs will also just escalator you up not safe I understand you said it goes into darkness from what you can see yeah but it's also that like light comes in from here and that's like well Mallory will pull out the Lantern and she will cast uh produce flame and and uh let's see inside the my intern um you make your way let's go it also carries you up um the steps get definitely go ahead um is that like uh but you also were able to just stand on is it like uh makes its way up yeah why not before I go on the stairs um I kind of like hold my hand out like this almost like as if I'm gonna grab something and then you see from like coming seeping out from underneath the um the glove is like this icker that like forms here and then expands and then forms into like a sword why did you pull up there's weird magic stuff going on should bring a weapon to school I did I think she is watching that like do you have nowhere and it's actually I mean I have a I have a Rapier in my luggage I don't have one with me not weird usual okay well let's hope that but if we can all do yeah it might be better to bring a mundane uh rows of books just a complete rounded um uh face of books go about like 20 feet up um some sort of library but it's dark um and Mallory is like lighting the way um and Don is you sort of like make the last step upwards um as if much akin to the inky magic of uh uh that you have um the light from the stairwell beneath you almost is covered over in a dark like liquid and it becomes completely dark does it make that sound too besides yeah and um uh except for the light that is emitting from your from your monitor what's going on can right pause after seeing that and it's not like is it moving like as we're moving like you put your hand on it well I'm I'm gonna stop and see is it like Rising it looks like the floor just like melded over but it's dark um as you're Vision like fully adjust it's just like yeah you put your finger down your vision adjusts and it's just Stone okay that's weird what's going on ahead of you however as you look up and you see a door it's a regular wooden door um and uh you're currently like you've got a row of books that curve and go down two different hallways and a door right in front of you Ronin is this place look familiar at all I think we're stuck in here what there's a door holy [ __ ] uh okay we're gonna figure this out let's um I'm sorry are you gonna protect us I mean she's good at it she's great protection look I'm just saying it really means a lot to us this is a pretty creepy situation but it's all gonna be okay as long as you stick together yeah and uh somebody will we will find somebody here's nose like points to the left and as you look over you see um a treasure chest up against the wall of books what's it look like it looks like a treasure chest yeah that's it nothing else metal I'm gonna take out what did you just do open it oh my god oh I'm just gonna take out the one see Callisto she has her hand forward reaching down as her eyes sort of pull back as a large mouth open yeah goes down to smash down on your arm um sometimes this happens the rest of the room uh also begins to animate on a bookshelf yeah and a mouth opens a mouth opens up another one the other way another mouth opens up and there are four five six now mimics that are closing in on you as you are in within this uh this Library uh what I would like you guys to do is uh put yourselves around that door I know there's really four spaces but like fill in the oven like over here yeah yeah no no no beyond Behind that oh sorry right here yeah be next to me uh Jack would you mind putting that where the boys um can you just go ahead and put this by Callisto oh um can you go ahead and put uh that kind of thing we're all in danger uh one more towards you like [Music] like this no oh sorry um right in your way there's one here towards you there's another shell that pretend that's a shelf sliding door [Music] uh opposite side one in ronan's aisle oh no like here uh and then uh that one is gonna go uh behind that one yeah right there um they are closing in what where are the initiatives things oh goodness Spencer uncovered the art I love how squished they are squeezers I know Spencer went through the effort they hate this [ __ ] air Vision all right my soldiers that is pretty funny you guys have been it this is what happens when you get planes blocked next time we'll be a little better take this Crunchwrap Supreme for it is my body murder murder earlier today oh no should be in there is it on the floor shoot did you kill hello I know I made one picture we made a joke about it earlier is it on the floor in there I'll go look hello get the initiatives three okay um I don't know who's who I have to go by memes do you need a pen to write it when would you get uh natural 20. okay let's see where's mine Stella what'd you get 17. uh uh 21. um oh well then it shouldn't be posted geez you rolled height I'm not happy about it natural 21. um and then I'm old A6 I don't like so much Zelda eventually my dice Will Roll higher than below 10. running would you roll is were you supposed to get this what yeah and then you took it for me I thought you took it I know you gave it to me to write got it I was under the impression that you were handing it to me to hand to him yeah and then he handed it back sorry my Stella's fine it just says Stella I've got to put an m on Woody's face no buddy he's gonna put it upside down yeah is it just gone did I misplace it that's fine I'll draw Gwen on the other side no make a beautiful drawing of Gwen Jordan what is this is this a gift yes well it was a gift it's just a guy the state cook Marshmallow Man attacking a fellow wrestler in the ring if you push who is dressed as a Ghostbuster happy WrestleMania if you push play it'll move yeah you just gotta click on it I even asked Jordan does this make sense no one said we were going to print them out on paper I asked if it made it that's pretty good where's the Tobin look at it I guess that sometimes I just think that gifts can also act as memes especially when you use Incredibles as often as I do all right uh Millennial thing maybe go back away that's okay where I don't know climb over me get away um yeah is there anywhere to move is there anywhere to move you basically said the doors are closing in just trying to eat you stuck to it um right now to you you've got two right now no there's over uh there they don't go to the ceiling they're about 20 feet tall but right now yeah you're a little closed in there Callisto magic missiles yes you reach out and go ah and you're like how many spell points do we have two four so now we're going to uh introduce the fact that we're going to use spell points so instead of using spell slots I've relegated everybody using spell points um because uh I think it's a fun way to cast magic but also uh you guys can use exhaustion levels as spell points but outside of that uh you guys have I think we have um how many do you have instead of four I think you get four four everybody has their first little spell or maybe you guys have two no no I appreciate it but I'm just gonna leave it down there as Lincoln you can die is one point no it's not it's two I do that so a first level spell slot is two yeah yeah got it not bad that's a cool bat thank you it's the one that always rolls twenties it just makes it sound weird when you say it like that I guess um took it great because you are alone wait this is at five yeah help me I'm dumb right now four plus one okay I was just double checking eight plus six condescending way to count to the fourth box yes look like um it's probably quite literally just pure magic at the moment it's almost exactly what you had gathered from the um the snarl itself just that blinding light just um spattering into this thing um creating a bunch of holes in like the wood that was almost like a shotgun blast is it like it it stumbles back a bit you've heard it very badly but it is still up and still ready to go I'm in danger uh and there's nowhere to go yeah um you can get behind Dawn don't forget to talk about opportunity yeah yeah 11 damage this is your life now uh who the [ __ ] I made these choices um Glenn's just gonna say Kalisto we have to have a conversation about your pension for sticking your hands in things as Gwen whips out uh her um um magnifying glass and a a a a a flash of pink light um and she goes go to sleep um uh the the mimic that's right in front of her she's going to cast sleep so sleep is an area so um you choose an area that all the creatures in the area is uh in the area where uh Callisto is so it's like it's it's like back then the area only touches that one I'll let you do that if you want that's kind of what I was hoping yeah you can do that go ahead and roll the hips I got the nice part about sleep though is there's no safe look you just have to roll enough to beat the headlights also helps us engage points these things have potentially thank you 29. so um you say you say that you uh hold the magnifying glass forward the purple white descends downwards and the chest that you've just you know shot a bunch of holes into Callisto just turns back into a chest oh dear God um pull out her orb she's like you'll be a really good time if you could do something else uh and she would cast Fireball at this thing over here hell yeah always my emotional support orb oh okay is that normal where are you sure it is it is some some people have emotional support wolves people have emotional support Ravens attack the 17 on the dice um yeah there you go you take the orbs you whisper into it you say that it was like you always talk to that he was like yeah yeah it's my emotional support blue flames um uh uh simmers around it as it lashes out uh towards one more of uh which one right here that one right there yeah uh yeah that one uh you it flies over but it hits the side of it six six the door hinge falls off but it's like back it's all moving forward you shake it and it says try again later okay uh Roman's gonna like hit like a a spot on his wrist and his Swan's gonna pop into his hand oh yeah I'm gonna cast a magic Missile at this door Do It um please do it that one's getting a little too close to my best friend are you not using your skateboard as your [ __ ] no I'm not I should give it away same thing as Stella you just like they just go through the wood creating like a bunch of holes in the wood but it's still like it's like scattering itself forward or like wobbling almost because it's really slow um next is I imagine Gwen says that not the Skype bold then no okay you can use skateboard does that um yeah there are two down here all right yeah like what are they doing are they like waddling towards us yeah they're like closing in but they're like the one that run into shots cases the one behind it's a doors so it's a bookcase in front of one of the doors but it's coming down and they're waddling over threatening to devour us yeah they have big mouths and okay big purple tongues uh Mallory teeth as soon as Ronan goes and like strikes the power stance to cast magic Missile Mallory slides between his legs and then like uh Springs up and kind of does a cool like kick flip through the air and when she lands like her her like foot careen's through the air this like thunderous energy surrounds it and as she slams her foot into the ground she casts Thunder wings I don't want to get close enough because it's a 15-foot Cube um that blasts out yeah I'm trying to make cast for Thunder Wave I know I'm like you know sleep whatever but uh with Thunder Wave uh uh I'll let you cast it as like an area around you or you can Aim It Forward and it can yeah I'm trying to I'm trying to shoot it away from me cool cool so you want to I'll let you hit both of them that's that's what I'm that's what I was trying right yeah rolled in both of these ones okay gotcha that's a DC perfect I should I think it's a DC 13 spell save thank you okay great so they take full damage and are pushed 10 feet away cool foreign as you blast into uh this uh this door the one that wrote in the bookcase that Ronan had filled with like a bunch of holes um you hit it with a thunder wave your foot goes down the books and papers go scattering everywhere that one's dead the other people can put it back 10 feet um and still trying to uh make its way forward and then Mal let's go yes and then she's gonna turn around and she does her little like jrpg like I did it persona we're still in combat she's gonna look over to uh oh she's gonna she's gonna look over to Todd actually and it's gonna say um is like first let's see who can get the most kills don't lose to me this time and I'm Gonna Give You partic inspiration okay um that was an assist um towards the one right next to her yeah um and like a bit of the Inky icker flings off of it and lands onto the door onto the door and kind of like so it's like spread a little bit and like almost like there's like a little bit of almost like a little acidic um it's not actually causing me like direct damage it's how I'm explaining hex blades gross oh for sure cool um and then she stops roll tag if you hit you do an extra D6 dealer uh extra two damage got it but I know a hex works yeah um but 19 or 20 right and if it dies I gained five HP but I don't have any go for it that is uh 18. yep that hits almost a crit but yep yeah roll damage well nah I think I have to roll uh uh um [Music] well poorly um five five um yeah you stab into it and a bit of the door as you like is as you push your like uh your dark blade sort of into it like like melts away and turns like to dust almost but it's still there and it's like yeah still trying to bite you um I think interview turn the music inspiration is a D6 and ability checks right yes okay the uh so that door right there is gonna move 15 feet to you Mel five so five ten ten fifteen yep and then it's gonna Dash and it's time to get right within you it's like spacing just put it right in front of you okay it's right there uh the one that you just stabbed on it's going to try to bite you me yep I have her old single dice this whole game do you need this [Music] wow nice uh the door just like like slams everything um that one right there is gonna move up towards you Don as you are um um that one is a 12 as well I have to go like this now it's Stella I can't you are more than welcome 15 but I think that's just a gift from your order am I being within the range as uh the door gets over towards you still yeah yeah five damage and graciously yeah uh it Chomps down when you um it hurts but it's nothing you can um oh it's asleep yeah how long does sleep last until it takes damage or like a minute or something like that okay until eight o'clock in the morning yes you can she just kind of like a little excited uh yeah okay let's get the hell out of there yeah by while you can move through your Ally space but you have to have a spot to go to Firebolt at this one sounds good go for it say forget how to do cancer these are cool dice what the [ __ ] yeah those were my films and she said be careful there what that door right there that Don's attacking gets an opportunity to attack against you but it rolled a one thanks for these cool dice Spencer you're welcome uh you like Phoenix pack you hear like a snap behind you you turn around you're like I'm fine you're like close your eyes you're like oh I'm fine okay no not bad at all uh 17 to hit 17 to hit wait uh this one right here oh the fire goes over hits it the one that you had already Thunder waved and uh as it does so the hinge is sort of like fall off of it as it like unlocks hits the ground Burns away no damage I know YouTube YouTube no I wrote it just said 17 to hit I'm hallucinating I'm just hallucinating please oh God I'm sorry I'm just like it's been a been a while okay I want to do damage three it's still alive sorry guys I'm just like I'm really sorry Mom oh my gosh I've been falling for a long time I'm so sorry Gwen's your turn um which one did you just damage the one that's next to Mel the one that will Chomp my face also don't worry Mia and Spencer painted these Minis and they look amazing so they told me I'm not allowed to shop can I um do sleep that is um these two well one of them is already asleep on a diagonal do you have spell slots for them I have I can sorry spell slots you um you should so everybody else I think has four the warlocks only get two I wrote down four because we have two then you have four it's a magical day you touched you touched the song I wrote down four because uh I believe you said that because you can't only one slot which is equal to but it's fine just go ahead I mean I could do something else if I said it it was probably for a reason so uh yeah let me just look up sleep real fast I remember we went we went back and forth on yeah Warlock uh let's see 20 foot area unfortunately because of the um the wall of book in the way you can't hit both but you can you can aim it to hit just that one that's on well that was already asleep which one's already this one that was when you first put this no this is the one I put to sleep because Oh I thought it was the other one Dawn totally attacked that one and that one attacked so sorry about that I thought you were going for the other one that was on Callisto um no no I'm going for the one that was right in front do you want to do that one again because I thought it was the other one so this one is asleep and this one is not like go for it a lot of options 31. it just turns into a door it's like wow I'm all right uh that one is also like a double doors I sleep [Music] um would you say that this door uh has not has metal or would be considered wearing armor made of metal no but it has hinges in it okay I'm gonna I'm in a shotgun gospel that's what I was asking about it you're taking its little doorknob this is the one time it's gonna jolt itself yeah no damage that that hits okay is that maybe what you saw damage I know we're the five I'm just six six uh that's the one that you've had damage previously you uh you hit it with the the the fire and then as it gets closer it's about to bite you you grab a candle and he's and his deep and lightning hits um can I ask how if there's like a ceiling above these these like there is there is it's like maybe 30 feet and it's like bolted love that uh she's gonna skitter up that wall cool what's your what's what's your strike so the bookcases are 20 and then it's 10 to the ceiling oh no I'll just get her the bookcases perfect so yeah that guy's gone off the side of the she's on top of things don't worry about it guys I've got good good uh advantages you're scared she Winks at you oh um cast magic Missile again I'm gonna do as well Choice I'm gonna do one here and then two over there what do your magic vessels look like um probably like um there's probably just white cool actual darts um my hero and then [Music] six over there now six yeah uh on that one yeah I don't think that one's taking damage no nope there's a couple of holes go into it it's like um angrily sort of uh trying to make itself forward to attack you guys uh it is your turn now so if Stella has skittered up for the bookcase yeah am I is that space free fantastic move Stella yeah do you know how nice it is to have everybody's mini be accurate do you know how good that is for my brain to look at us see which one Stella the one that looks like Stella yeah I mean Mallory is going to produce flame as she kind of comes uh goes over there she does a little twirl and when she turns around her hands have fire in him and she just Chucks both of the moats at uh perfect at the door do it oh that's super high that's 15 no higher than 15. uh 23. hit God that's a lot yeah but also like it said 15. oh my God these points of fire damage exactly like I said Mallory turns around like probably right as it's about to like take a snap of my my good friend my friendly rival Don um uh uh it's like about two and she's like dropping into the repost but Mallory just just like like frisbee tosses the the flame perfect right now the thing's going it's like incinating upwards a bunch of smoke comes out it falls on the ground incinerates away not one of their like mimic bodies are left behind except for the ones that are currently asleep but as asleep as they are they just did a dormant State the rest of them have seemingly dissipated but for now you guys are out of common as the other two are asleep what are you doing yeah I looked at the drawing you did yeah sure you owe me I had you stole my kill hey you weren't quick enough that's just how it goes so maybe next time normally no it doesn't no um which is why I thought it was okay um everybody's intelligence but you have an intelligence below 10. no magic school babies yeah I think they were here to kill us okay sure but why us Stella from your advantage points you can see what looks like there's a glowing sort of um blue light coming from uh this like southern area over here there isn't that staircase but that like that little thing there it's like glowing so it seems like some sort of Arcane symbol with something uh how did you get up there yeah you guys can't do this I mean I've tried I have to I have to make a much more concerted effort maybe you'll learn it here okay uh she was I think there was like wait a minute gray skin yellow eyes you can climb up walls like Spider-Man say it says you're a spider there's that there's that minus one intelligence let's say uh I think though that there is a glowing symbol over here probably magical in nature probably go to the magical way over there no still rushing off on your own now he says trailing behind is everybody rushes wait um like a bunch of books uh uh appreciate it moving your way along continuing uh and there is a point where uh as you turn and head over Callisto you can hear a whisper um that just says they stopped me look there's a book it's glowing and it goes broken nobody else hears this calisto's now behind us everybody else are you gonna eat me no I would not like that I would like to eat knowledge but I'd rather give it to you freaked please look said the wolf the wolf is like looking up at you he's just like I'm just here for a good time I love you where are we yeah you created me stuck here for a long time does this mean that we all walked past the book the book was like hey laughs I got a lot of spells in me that was interesting he's fine yeah you take it out um as you pull the book out it has a bunch of bookmarks all over it's pretty big yellow cover and it has uh an eye on the front of it looks over towards you goes oh oh and its mouth opens more and it goes oh thank goodness I haven't been able to speak in quite a long time I've been stuck in that bookcase hello um hi she told me you know like you can't hear this but the rest of you run over towards that blue circle and it is the strix Haven star but it's glowing and it's blue who are you talking to a book oh hello hi there um you know what I'm not even surprised at this point it's been a hell of a day now rescued from my deep recesses I was put here by a I think a student as a joke and nobody's seen my face in quite a long time oh sorry my name's Cody good to meet you I'm sorry Cody Cody I have a codex thank you no that's kind of a weird question sorry it's such a Cody with an ie I.E yeah I used to wander around the campus give it lots of helpful and useful information to all the students around him in his flashback he's rambling on to students in the middle of campus and they ignore him they all loved my knowledge if any in any case I I thank you for rescuing me from this dark place yeah I will reward you if you get me out do you want to go back to like what's your name no it's Callisto you think I think I you said that right Valerie did yeah thank you Callisto I Bound to You whoa oh hey you got a friend congrats are you sure can't return you no please please don't please don't do that I don't want to sit in the dark for a long time again oh yeah you can't do that to him I know he's got a cute little you know rub the spot oh well you didn't have to make that noise I'm sorry oh my God maybe put him back on the Shelf hey how about this we're trapped here do you know how to get out oh yeah his little eyeball the tink like looks over towards it's it's like made of like metal as it like looks over towards the the glowing sigil and he says you stand on that is that how you got in here how did you get in here we go well yeah you can also go down the stairs but it's like four floors the stairs got closed behind us are you saying we're on the fifth well yeah your fourth years right yeah restricted series well there is a door that leads into the mystical archives oh I probably shouldn't tell you that is it locked um yeah uh obviously his eye goes but you said there was this door over here um well yeah yeah of course yeah no worries oh what a good boy I'm not gonna do anything about it you make your way over and you head over to the door that is and asleep she goes I mean we're already here right Fireball everybody Burns away you snuffed out because the last one wakes up it's the chest we go get back here much bigger than the one that you had just fought on the front of it you see this big The strix Haven star that symbol uh but it's like made out of like Glass and Metal yeah and it's sunken into the wall where there's just a slight crease and one that goes around it as well there look to be uh five um like uh like small depressions where you could fit like a like an orb of some kind but they aren't there um is everybody here yeah oh yeah there it is that's that's it that's the that's the door to the mystical archive all right what are these go in there I I think I know how to unlock it but I feel like uh I shouldn't tell you well we're all fourth years so you could just go ahead and tell us oh um well you should have uh you should have the key to open the musical archive but is that how we unlock it well the beans have them but there's no other way well each deed has one piece they each opening one of them we need ten you need 10 different pieces there's a lot of pieces yeah so okay what's the what's the other way to get in uh there um I don't think there is one unless they made one that's a secret that I don't know about I don't think he's useful I think he's really sheltered wait wait wait wait wait I I could it's lonely if you get the keys I I could tell you how to open it no looks like you you could or their trust so take advantage of them yes I I have not I am not encouraging any of this no no take advantage of earn that trust is like becoming friends with them okay I'm very desperate to get out of here I'm with the book [Music] I know how to get up here yeah I know the sigil I can teleport you in here perfect which is normally limited to
