"Yes, and so much more," Rizzid answered, a hand reaching around to stroke Zelara's hair.<br/><br/>They both remained in a sapphic embrace, Rizzid hugging and caressing her in turn. Exhausted and covered in sweat, she enacted several<em>prestidigitation</em>spells to clean herself, Zelara, and the bed of any bodily fluids. Afterwards it felt comfy, warm, and dry.<br/><br/>"Mmmmm, these pillows feel nice; threaded by Dambrathan tailors, I presume? I hear that it's one of the few drow colonies on the top of the world. It's rumored that the temple of Lolth up there's made of pure gold, although it's likely gilded. Solid blocks would be too impractical and easy to corrode. Still, it would be nice to visit..."<br/><br/>Laying the back of her head against the fluffy Dambrathan threads, Rizzid's eyes went half-lidded as she stared into the ceiling, Zelara still in her arms and she hers.<br/><br/><em>Rizzid is now a member of Zelara's Harem!</em><br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: andale mono;">The Third Day</span></span></div><br/>Zelara woke up to the presence of a second body in bed. It was Rizzid, and the memories of last night came back in bits and pieces...truth be told the alcohol blurred many of them.<br/><br/>"I can see you're already up...heh, in more ways than one."<br/><br/>The priestess' morning wood was up again, only to be sheathed between another set of legs.<br/><br/>One thing was for certain, sexual frustration wouldn't be a problem at school if Zelara continued to play her cards right.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: andale mono;">Physical Enhancement</span></span></div><br/>"Zelara, you have that look," Professor Tibil said. "You're acting passive, like you're not giving it your all."<br/><br/>Zelara's sparring partner was no more difficult than yesterday's, and she did not feel the effects of hostile spell nor poison. Still, the instructor eyed her match like a hawk's, even after she won.<br/><br/>"Class isn't over yet, maggots! I have another lesson to teach!"<br/><br/>Professor Tibil paced from one of the room to the other, hands at her back clutching a whip. "I'll be upfront about this; as young ladies going through many changes, you feel the pangings of lust. We all have ways to satiate it, and indeed we should, both to further the progeny of the race and as part of our just rewards. But, sex is like a drug; it makes you act different, it can drive you to foolish behavior."<br/><br/>The last step clacked loudly on the cold stone floor. "I don't care who you do it with, but sex before training can make you passive. Burn out your aggression for a time; if you want to pass my class, you'll make sure to monitor your...indulgences so as not to coincide with my lessons too often. Keep this in mind."<br/><br/>The last statement was obviously geared towards Zelara.<br/><br/>There were more than a few giggles from the other students after lesson's end.<br/><br/>"Uhhh, Zelara, do you think there was more to that instruction?" Lenora asked. "I could be misreading, but it seems like the Professor had it in for you."<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: andale mono;">Inquiries Into the Unenlightened</span></span></div><br/>Today Professor Moconnu was teaching a broad overview of the dwarven clans, along with their military history and countless wars with the drow. Zelara felt something hit the back of her head; not a poison needle nor dagger nor sap, but a wet, crumpled piece of paper that can easily fit between one's fingers. Another came, and glancing just out of sight Zelara noticed Sinley's hands go back into her desk. She glared back.<br/><br/><em>How does Zelara handle this? She could ignore it, but over time her hair will be filled with spitballs by the end of the lesson and not be proper for a drow noblewoman to go about walking in!</em><br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><strong><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">Gossip and Hearsay</span></span></strong></div><br/><em>Zelara can try gathering information, this time in the halls between classes.

pillar supposedly housing administration, the Eightfold Academy is a very large place, and many students take to traversing its many, many halls whether out of curiosity or a way to get their bearings.  Zelara spends the better part of her free time in taking a stroll through its many portals to familiarize herself with the layout.  This grants her a +4 bonus on rolls involving direction, chase scenes, finding hiding places, and other activities where this would be an advantage for one of the eight towers.<br/><br/><strong>Hang Out:</strong>Zelara finds one of her peers she's on friendly terms with, in this case Alfarna, Lenora, Rizzid, or Seromus.  They spend some time in idle banter and possibly other activities.  Zelara can choose to have said drow "on hand" in any future scene of her choice on the same<em>School Day,</em>causing the scene to be partially rewritten to allow for their inclusion at hand.<br/><br/><strong>Practice/Research:</strong>Whether in a library full of clay tablets and runestones or performing physical exercises in the comfort of her own room, Zelara expands her understanding of the world and gains a floating "Scholar Point."  A Scholar Point can be spent when undertaking an action during one of her classes, rolling twice and taking the better result.<br/><br/><strong>Shopping:</strong>As the scion of nobility in a metropolis, virtually anything is on sale for Zelara, although her current purchasing power is quite small after paying for tuition at the Eightfold Academy.  Here she can buy equipment and necessary materials.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: andale mono;">Slugboarding</span></span></div><br/>It turned out Zelara had more leisure time than she thought; today she only had 2 classes, both of which had already come to pass. Whether she is shopping in the city, chatting with a friend (even Seromus!), or taking advantage of the library's resources, Seromus came by, hefting a rather strange object. It was a giant slug!<br/><br/>(https://i.imgur.com/0bYEkev.png?1)<br/><br/><em>No Craft, Knowledge-Local, or Knowledge-Nature skill means that Zelara has never seen such a thing.</em><br/><br/>"Hey there, Mistress Dreth," Seromus said with a wave of the hand.
