    Veriben pulls out a piece of cured leather from one of his pockets and incants a simple spell word. He cracks his knuckles and moves to stand between the spider and his companions.

    Default Brown Recluse Attack!

    Gracepick casts a spell, and causes a stinking cloud to issue forth from his fingertips, and descend the stairs. The spider shakes as it is bothered by it, but clearly doesn't stop it! "Damnit! What good is that spell?!?"

    The bold Veriben steps forward between the spider and Professor Gracepick, as he casts his Mage Armor spell.

    Much to Veriben's luck, the spider goes for the wizard that just blanketed it in the stinking cloud attacking from out of the stench! The fangs sink into Gracepick! He screams loudly as he is weakened by the poison now coursing through his veins. It attacked right over Veriben!

    Tristan pops it with a strong ray of frost causing it to freeze burn a little spot.
    {crit damage:6} The spider is in a corridor underground...

    Strolon holds...

    Belsambor holds...

    Tomas casts Shield on Tristan.

    Kyra whips out a short sword, that she clearly doesn't have training in, and charges forward next to the brave Veriben. "What're you doing? You trying to get killed?" Her short sword glances harmless off the thick chitin of the spider.

    End Round 1----------------------------->

    Initiatives:
    Gracepick
    Veriben 17+2
    Brown Recluse
    Tristan 5+7
    Strolon 8+2 {holding?}
    Belsambor 7+2 {holding?}

    Default Spider Kill and the Staff Wand

    {OOC- Sorry about delays, I'll be back to normal posting by Sunday. This was just a warm-up battle.}

    Round 2:

    Gracepick steps back and away even in his sickened state, and fires 2 acid arrows at the creature from the wand. He looks annoyed at it, and shakes his head...

    Still, the arrows strike hard and melt the creature's face, killing it.
    "That wasn't supposed to be there!"


    Battle end: {The battles won't be like this normally. And should be more challenged for you... but as you will see Gracepick is going to bow out. Though there was a chance Gracepick could've survived...}

    Gracepick is sick, and sits down at the top of the stair. Some time later his muscles go into convulsions, he is dead in seconds as his heart stops. He tries to get out words holding up the wand as he does, looking right at Strolon, "Think Kittens..."

    He collapses at the top of the stair and dies, the wand clatters to the stairs beside him.

    Veriben shoulders his quarterstaff when the spider dies and runs to Gracepick. He can do nothing to stop the inevitable and watches in silence as the professor dies.

    He picks up the dropped wand and backs away from the corpse. He bows his head in reverence and stands in silence.

    Default The Staff Wand

    The spider is still hissing and dying as Veriben nears the wand. The spider tumbles down the stairs, and looks to be blocking the base of the stairs.

    Gracepick is quite dead, and now stiff as a board as the poison freezes him even more.

    Veriben has seen the staff wands in use. They were a minor form of Wild Magic, and were designed to enhance your spell. Somehow you focused your spell through them, mostly to good effects. There was usually an mental command, but the staff-wizards never shared them with students.

    Default Master's Room

    At the base of the stairs is a great chamber. At this point Strolon will know nothing more. There was something important down here, and he knew it, but not even the staff's favorite student could gain these secrets.

    There were 4 doors in the southern wall all black with silver runes protecting them. The center of this room at the base of the stairs had an old stone podium. When all of you are here the doors above you slam shut, and a green whirlwind spins on the podium.

    It takes the form of a human, glowing in the eerie green. It is some old wizard looking man in ghost form. He smiles and looks pleased at seeing you.
    "Ah... students. Hard times? Well, the tests to get to the secrets can be performed by students. But, only those showing true regard for the university may finish. You will become powerful, but it must be needed if they've awakened me." He looks to Veriben holding the staff wand. "Have they trained you on that? Be careful, they have been known to back-fire. Anyway, these 4 doors hold different paths. Once you choose one, you won't be able to go back. There may be many choices like this. I would like to tell you youths that this isn't dangerous... but it is. The professors may try to get you help as they can, some have left gifts down here in anticipation hundreds of years ago for such an event. Never once has this campus been threatened, and even in death I will not allow it. I can aid you 3 times, but only for advice and history. I want to warn you, I am a little out-of-date on modern histories."

    "No, not exactly. I've seen them use it many times." He speaks more to himself, though still audibly: "I don't really know why I took it. Seemed the right thing to do at the time..."

    He begins to examine the staff and waving it around -- more like a quarterstaff than a wand -- while he waits for more instructions from the strange ghost wizard.

    The ghost speaks to Belasambor, "Excellent question. The paths are of the four elements. So, you will choose your test, but from then it is anyone's guess as to what the wild magic will provide. Luckily you do not bring mighty magic into the test zone, then it would be extra perilous. Choose your way: Fire. Earth, Water, or Air."

    Belsambor gives the smallest of frowns at the four doors. "All must choose one way, or each of us may choose our own? Do each of the doors lead to the same location, only our choice of element differ? I can see a different element for each of us, depending on our choices of magic. As an Illusionist, I would follow the path of wind, the unseen yet felt. An evoker might choose fire, while a diviner water."
