good environment for enchanting someone even without magic.  Seeing Arturon wave him over, Kleris smiled and joined him.  He nodded, listening to the instruction.  He agreed with all of it; most of the time he preferred to convince others of his views, rather than exercise compulsion.  Nevertheless, in a more hostile situation, quicker, more powerful persuasion or outright domination was sometimes called for.  He practiced with Arturon, asking for some lunch money, forgetting he hadn't even used a charm spell until the prefect was already handing it over.  Needing to up the ante, he actually charmed him into clucking like a chicken a little bit and what less casual demands a charm might require.  Opening his mind, he let Arturon return the favor, not resisting any compulsion he might exercise over Kleris in return.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Smiling, Arturon made the suggestion that Kleris should perform a little dance with him.  He was surprisingly skilled, and twirled him around a bit before setting him down.  He tested a few more suggestions as well ("curtsy," "juggle these oranges with me").  He had a lot of fun, which he probably did not get much as a prefect.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Relationship</div><div

paper.<br/><br/><em>With the Truename of a fiend from the abyss, I shall call up and bind a demon to my will.  This will depend on the props of an "ancient forbidden tome," a flashy summoning ritual, an impressive "demon," and my own apparent power.  I will be calling on the assistance of my friend Lillin to provide said fiend, and other illusions to perform the calling ritual.</em><br/><br/>Handing his paper in at the desk, Kleris figured class was done and it was time to see if he could still find Lillin and make use of her theatricality.  Explaining the assignment and his own premise, he asked her if she'd be his "succubus."<br/><br/>"If you have some costumes from the drama club, that would really sell it:  costume jewelry, studded leather, skull belt, whip.  It wouldn't hurt if you wanted to, y'know, show some leg or something."  He didn't want to ask anything inappropriate, but he suspected Lillin would be more than up for getting into

5</span></div><br/>The weekend finally came.  Today had no classes, instead given over to extracurricular clubs.  The Redhurst Dramatics Club's first meeting convened in the auditorium, the environment proving an optimal choice for the planning of plays.  The Dean of the Ignes School of Illusion, the gnome Stentelindrabree, oversaw the club's affairs.  "I was a renowned bard before coming to Redhurst," she happily informed Kleris and the rest.  "Under my guidance, you'll be expert actors and playwrights in no time!"<div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/ChXrpno.png)</div><br/>Every school year the club puts on two plays.  This year the club chose<em>The Saga of Morid</em>by popular vote.  It detailed the story of Tallik minotaur soldier who served the King of Cam as a tactical mastermind.  He fell in love with Morid, the king's daughter, and hid their relationship from him.  In anger, the king cast Tallik into an impenetrable magical maze on a remote island which even he could not escape.  War came to the land, and without Cam's towns fell one by one to the invaders.<br/><br/>Knowing that Morid would trust no one except the princess, the King asked for his daughter's help in freeing Tallik.  She'd venture into foreign lands before coming to the dangerous maze.  Along the way she visited many wondrous places, done many good deeds, slew dangerous monsters, before conquering the maze and reuniting with her beloved.<br/><br/><br/>Evgenia was the play's conductor, leading a small orchestra in playing appropriate melodies for each major scene.  Lillin was an actress, cast in the role of Nalsa, Morid's second-in-command on the ship she sailed across the seas to the maze.  Students and teachers not in the club came to watch in their free time now and again, and Dean Doil from Thaumant gave a good cheer whenever Kleris or his other students did something particularly skillful or praiseworthy.<br/><br/><em>Roll a Perform check, or any skill check plausible for drama.  The higher you roll, the more potential Stent sees in you.</em><br/><br/><br/>"So I got the necessary clothes for your Illusion class," Lillin said.  "I'll go dress in the girls' locker room, and you can tell me how I look."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header"

(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/1/1e/Sucubus.jpg) as she folds her clothes onto the nearby bench.  Her black tail was indeed connected to her body, right above the butt crack where a human tailbone would be.  The outfit for her succubus disguise shown plenty of skin, and the prosthetic wings and black high heels made her look the part of a demonic tempter.  Her tiefling blood certainly helped, too.<br/><br/>(http://i.imgur.com/NQdhFwU.jpg?1)<br/><br/>She cast a <em>Disguise Self</em> spell to change her skin to a fair white, her hair long lustrous black, and her age to a young woman

changed back into her school clothes and original form with some regret.  "I don't want anyone recognizing this outfit, much as I'd like to parade around in this skimpy little thing.  Kleris, you struck me as a cool girl since I first met you.  I was thinking of doing something late at night, but I don't want to talk about it here.  Once curfew comes, can I have permission to come into your room?  There's someplace I want to show you."<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;">Midnight, technically Day 6</span></div><br/><br/>As agreed upon, Lillin found her way into Kleris' room unimpeded.  Fortunately Zull chose to go to sleep around the same time as Rensha (she'd wake up early and catch up on her studies), although Kleris was awake as she opened the door, crept into the room, and went right up to Kleris to whisper in his ear.<br/><br/>"Hey, Kleris, you awake?" she asked.  "There's a place in Tolkur which leads to a hidden world.  I want to sneak out with you at night and go there.  It's the Plane of Shadow, a mirror to the Material Plane.  Don't worry, it's harmless, and I know all the routes of staff and prefects from here to the side gate.  We won't get caught, and there'll be more than enough time to get back before anybody notices.  So, what do you say?"<br/><br/><br/><br/>The city took on an entirely different atmosphere by the time the two left Redhurst's grounds.  As a thriving merchant hub, the place was still alive at night, with ships coming late into port guided by a lighthouse, and the ladies and men of the night came out onto the streets to show off their bodies to those with lustful intentions.  Dwarves, elves, and races with low-light and darkvision had little trouble maneuvering, and Lillin had cast a darkvision (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/d/darkvision) spell on Kleris to help him see and follow her.<br/><br/>She led him to an alley between two three-story houses, bereft of features except for a shimmering blue hole on the ground.  With a tap of her shoe it turned translucent, revealing a pathway to what appeared to be an upside-down version of the city.<br/><br/>"Don't worry, we won't fall through," Lillin said with a smirk.  "We'll turn rightside up upon passing the veil.  Now come on, let's go!"<br/><br/>Taking his hand, she plunged through the extraplanar portal, and the entire world spun around Kleris in an instant before coming back under his feet again.  The other side was dark, oppressively so even with darkvision.  It was as though a thick sheet of blackness descended onto the world, blotting out features of the buildings so that they appeared as dark hills jutting out of the ground.  There were no stars or moon hanging in the sky, no noises of the city other than a windy howl now and then.<br/><br/>As they stepped out into the street, things became lighter.  A shimmering gray mist coated the major streets and thoroughfares, and what appeared to be ghostly visages of Tolkur's inhabitants walked to and fro, unaware of Kleris or Lillin.
