and the divine.  I serve the Sun, and I seek to live by her example with good works and self-improvement.  This brought me to Redhurst, as my parents and grandparents studied here before me.  And then when they offered me the role of prefect, I accepted.  I guess this kind of thing just comes naturally to me.  How about you, Kleris?  What brings you to Redhurst?"</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>"Wow, I think I've heard of that.  That's amazing, it's like double-majoring.  I can't imagine trying to use divine magic, at the same time even.  No wonder you're a prefect.  Well, I was raised by my mom, and she wanted me to have more in life than she could do alone.  She's met a lot of wizards and got me references to attend Redhurst.  But also," lowering his voice as if his mother might hear, "my dad was an adventurer and I want to learn what he did and find out where he disappeared.  I want to go on at least that one adventure myself when I graduate."<br/><br/><div align="center">Nammor School of Enchantment</div>"Yeah, I'm not to worried about making an ass of myself, I just want to be a good guest, you know?  I mean, you have your own customs that you enjoy following, so I figure it's only polite.  I'll figure something out."<br/><br/><div align="center">Dorm room</div>Kleris smiled and watched Zull grab the larger half-orc for a kiss.  It was some tipsy fun among girls, then watching it was really hot too, especially how shy Rensha was being about it.  He was feeling a little hot under the collar, enjoying the show, when Zull jumped him.  Falling back on the bed, he hugged her steady as they were suddenly making out, first just mashing lips, but after recovering himself, it became more sensual as he practiced on the petite drow.  She smelled really nice this close, and was very light, he could do this all night.  Sighing happily, he opened his lips, his tongue playing experimentally.  And with her lying right on top, his hands felt free to explore, stroking her back, feeling her hips widen, and gently squeezing her ass.  Grinning to himself, he slowly massaged it, loving the feel, making out with Zull, and teasing Rensha.  After a long minute with Zull, he turned away for air, smiling in a daze as he sat back up.<br/><br/>"That, that was.  Wow.  That's amazing.  More than I ever expected or hoped for.  I'd like to try more, let's see..."  Grinning at Rensha, he skipped up to hug her neck and pull himself up to her face.  Knowing she was a bit unsure of it, he paused with a smile.  "I'd like to kiss you, Rensha.  Would that be nice?"  He stroked her mowhawk, clinging himself off the ground.<br/><br/><div align="center">Day 10, right dorm</div><br/>"I'm glad I could help, at least help you feel better about it.  You can't be expected to stop him, he's the one being inappropriate.  I can see how it might be nice, but you don't want to be beholden to a lover.  I'd be glad to go with you, we'll do it together."<br/><br/>Kleris had some valuable magical components, but didn't think anyone would directly trade for them.  He tried to see if he could find a wine or other delicacy of the Emerald Sultanate, and then see if he could trade some service for it.  Maybe the shopkeep might need some things<em>mended</em>, making a large volume of cheaper beer, or maybe a case of<em>snowballs</em><br/>[Diplomacy 16+12=28]<br/><br/><div align="center">Jecture School of Divination, I Know What You're Thinking class</div><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div

around in awe with everyone else surely.  Looking out the window, he gazed at the tropical island surrounding them, breathing in the salty mist and warm humid air.  As they descended the tower, he looked around at all the rooms, nodding at how beautiful everything was, and everything one would need was right there.<br/><br/>Coming to the banquet, Kleris looked over the food with curiosity and appetite, it all smelled wonderful.  He remembered to wait for Hentru to take his own seat before sitting down as well, giving Rensha a nod when it was okay.  Again, waiting for Hentru to start, Kleris started sampling all the different things, starting safe with some bread, moving on to fruit, cheese, and a uniquely spiced meat dish.<br/><br/>"This is all so good!  I've never even seen some of these fruits, but it's all delicious."  One bite was a bit too spicy, however, and he had to get a spoon of yogurt to stop crying.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"Ah, Kleris, I do not believe I've met your friend here.  That's quite a fine blade you have by your side.  I can tell, I spent several of my formative years learning dueling practice in the Sultanate's academies."</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Kleris could believe it, he looked like he worked out a lot, even now as an arcane professor.  "This is my friend Rensha, I'll let her do the rest.  But we did manage to find a small gift to bring to the feast.  I hope this is alright, the importer said it was an exotic treat..."  He took out a small parcel, unwrapping it to reveal a roasted and spiced snake coiled around a stick.  The head was still attached, its mouth open with menacing fangs, a part of the presentation he was assured.  It had been cooked in a sauce of mustard seed, dragon peppers, and, he was told, a drop of snake venom.<br/><br/><div

Kleris takes classes there, making it the perfect opportunity to deliver it the next time you have class.  It is confidential school business, and I trust that you won't open it yourselves.  Just deliver it to Ms. Narataki, and you can have the Dueling Club's spot from then on out!  A simple task for a pristine space, a pretty fair deal."<br/>"Kleris, we can't say no to this!  I mean, just look at this place!  It's wonderful!"</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Kleris nodded to Hentru, "I'll give it to her the next time I see her.  Thank you for the dueling chamber, and the dinner, it was very excellent."<br/><br/>Outside with Rensha, he looked at the note under a light.  "You know, I heard that Professor Hentru has a crush on Professor Narataki.  I'm a little curious about the "school business" he has to tell her..."  He figured he could peek inside and<em>mend</em>the seal after, but with a magic user, one was never sure.  Looking around, he examined it for any magic protecting it or otherwise being triggered by opening.  If there wasn't any magic, and Rensha didn't fuss too much, he'd gently slice it open, look the note over with a guilty pleasure, and<em>mend</em>it back good as new for delivery.<br/><br/><div align="center">Day 12</div><br/><div align="center"><strong>Lillin</strong></div><br/><div

Lillin sang out.  "I think it's been long enough for your next 'weekly release.'  I was thinking of showing you a few things with my tail this time..."</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Kleris giggled, wriggling in Lillin's arms, "Shush, you!  Stop, mm, seducing me in the cafeteria.  Take me somewhere private and you can, um, tail me however you want..."  He wasn't sure what she had in mind, but everything she did was so sensual and made his body twitch with desire, he was sure a whole new limb would lead to something exciting.<br/><br/><div

a try?  I've been watching things from back stage, I think I remember her cues.  Just let me memorize the lines and I'll rehearse it."  Around his studies, Kleris concentrated on memorizing the script, practicing saying it out loud to get into character and become more naturalistic.<br/><br/><div align="center">Day 13</div><br/><strong>Relationship:</strong>He'd been to classes and dinner with Rensha, even kissed a bit one drunken night, but Kleris felt like he still didn't know her very well.  He asked her if she wanted to hang out one day, maybe show him her swordplay practice, talk about the dueling club, and trade stories from home.  He had to admit he still smiled thinking back to that night together with Zull, and wondered if more could come of it.<br/><br/><strong>Study:</strong>Looking through the library, Kleris discovers an interesting illusion spell,<em>Share Sensation</em>.  It was pretty specialized, and he wasn't sure what the inventor had in mind, but it seemed too interesting not to study.<br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><span

and ring, nodding in the prudence of the rings.  At least nobody should fall to their death today.<br/><br/>[Spellcraft 3+10=13, dang, not the 29<br/>Combat Maneuver 3+0=3]<br/>Reading the scroll carefully, he worked slowly to make sure he didn't mess up and fall.  Though he wouldn't get hurt, it would be terrifying or embarrassing to suddenly lose his grip.  It didn't matter much anyway, when he started climbing up behind the others, a few got in the way or even kicked and threw snowballs to distract him, leaving him to pause and cling close to the wall.  By the time he reached the upper reaches of the tower, most of the flags had already been picked clean, and he wasn't about to fight anyone over the last, most valuable remaining at the top.  Determined to get something, however, he would slip them up with some<em>grease</em>and<em>sleep</em>spells, hopefully knocking them off to gently float back down.
