Family Reunion

[Anastasia]

"It's exactly as I said," the druid shakes her head, "There's no deeper history there."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Hm. Well, simply solved, then. At least for once. Emily, if you wouldn't mind taking us back to the Order?"

[Anastasia]

Give me a d100 and a Perception check.

[Iron Dragoon]

Dune % roll:

[blockquote]Rolled 1d100 : 76, total 76[/blockquote]

Perception/Cunning Knowledge:

[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+64 : 20 + 64, total 84[/blockquote]

[Anastasia]

Your trip back is without incident. Your new friend takes it all in coolly, calmly as you head back and...

You avoided something, let's put it that way. Go ahead, ball is in your court.

[Iron Dragoon]

Awww, what was it?

"Ianvasah, let's get you settled and give you the tour. Would you mind giving us a run-down of what your abilities are while we're at it?"

[Anastasia]

"I am a skilled divine spellcaster and a shapeshifter," Ianvasah replies as she looks around, Emily following.

[Iron Dragoon]

"9th circle, I assume? Do you have any specific requests for housing or needs?"

[Anastasia]

"I will find my own," Ianvasah declares, "For I can find it any place that the sun can be seen in the open sky."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa looks at her flatly. "Ianvasah, you're allowed to have a few luxuries. Especially here. If you can think of anything that would make you more comfortable, just ask."

[Anastasia]

"If I require any, I will let you know," Ianvasah declares, "I am one with nature; nature provides all I need."

[Iron Dragoon]

"... We're going to have to get you to enjoy civilization at some level. But yes, let's get you settled and show you anything you're interested in."

[Anastasia]

Okay, go ahead and set that up. This is your show, so feel free to show her around, put her somewhere or take some liberties in setting up the conversation.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa begins giving her the tour of the facilities; housing, then library, then research rooms and labs, then the various tradesmen, then the council rooms.

Starting at housing, "This is where most of our people live. Some have their own extra-dimensional spaces, a few live on ships, and a number just never leave their labs. The Order controls this entire island chain, and we've designated some of the more isolated islands as experimentation sites for each school of magic. The Order has a leader from each school assigned to watch over these sites at all times, and each school has at least one member on the council. Divine magic is split into the same schools as Arcane, so you'll have access to most of the facilities. There's going to be some restrictions as you're more of a guest than you are member, but if you do decide to join, we'll work something out with the council for admissions.

To be more on point to housing, however, just about everyone can get a home of their own. We've got dorms for the newer students, but that's primarily to maintain safety and control. Most young mages tend to get excited at new spells and try them out unsupervised, which... Leads to issues, as you can imagine. We do have to be very careful with planning out housing, though, since this is an island. Space is limited, but I'm working on a solution for that. A few, actually."

[Anastasia]

By and large, Ianvasah listens rather than speaks. She takes it all in with patience, nodding at times or keeping to simple replies. When you at last broach the subject of housing and space, "How? Raising more islands?" With a sidelong look, "I've never heard of such a thing except in bard's babblings, but today is a day for being proven wrong."
