AVB - The Fuzzy One
This thread is for Jeriah and her GM ONLY. Please do not read it if you are not one of those two people.
It arrives at the university on the edge of Old Town. A large, wrought iron gate stands open in front of the campus, topped by a sign which reads "Aldhaven Royal University of Scientific Esoterica." It seems as if there is a student organization fair going on at this very moment. A large sign points the way to the registration office.Quod tibi vis fieri, facias.Spoiler: Links to my content threadsAldhaven - May 27, 2010 and ongoing.

Re: AVB - The Fuzzy One
SpoilerWell, THAT was fast.
Looking around briefly, the creature glances at how long the line for registration is before it approaches the nearest booth.

Re: AVB - The Fuzzy One
There appears to be only about four people waiting in line for registration at this time.
The nearest booth is for some sort of intramural sports team, a sport your character does not recognize.Quod tibi vis fieri, facias.Spoiler: Links to my content threadsAldhaven - May 27, 2010 and ongoing.

Re: AVB - The Fuzzy One
Being completely uninterested in sports, it slinks off towards the registration office, Hiding as it goes in an attempt to sneak to the front of the line and into the office when next it opens.

Re: AVB - The Fuzzy One
You wait until the current student leaves then successfully sneak into the office, the door closing automatically behind you. You hear a faint exclamation of confusion and irritation from the student who thought he was next in line as you usurp his position.
Inside, a stern looking woman sits at a desk, a slight frown on her lips as she spots you slink through the door. She appears to be trying to decide how to deal with a pest who just entered her office uninvited.Quod tibi vis fieri, facias.Spoiler: Links to my content threadsAldhaven - May 27, 2010 and ongoing.

Re: AVB - The Fuzzy One
Rising up on her hind legs, she snatches a pen with her tail and a piece of paper with her hands, rapidly writing on it.
"I'm here to enroll in the university, please."

About to summon someone to dispose of the rodent problem, the woman pauses.

Re: AVB - The Fuzzy One
"I see. I'm assuming you don't have the usual identification papers; however, provided that you can demonstrate your current magical abilities, I'm sure we can find a place for you in this university."
You noticed when you entered the room that the stern elf female you see before you is an illusion. Beneath it is actually a grumpy half-orc woman with a wicked smirk.Quod tibi vis fieri, facias.Spoiler: Links to my content threadsAldhaven - May 27, 2010 and ongoing.

Re: AVB - The Fuzzy One
The elven illusion maintains its stern glare, but the smirk on the real orc's face vanishes entirely, replaced by irritation.
"No, thank you, that will do."
She pushes some paperwork towards you.
"Fill these out and select any of the freshman classes from the course manual, then turn them in to the secretary out front. If you need help, find a faculty adviser. First half of tuition is due in two weeks, the day before classes start."Quod tibi vis fieri, facias.Spoiler: Links to my content threadsAldhaven - May 27, 2010 and ongoing.

Taking the paperwork, she walks back out of the office, finds a place to sit, and gets to work on it, doing the best she can.

Re: AVB - The Fuzzy One
After a few hours, she manages to fill out the paperwork, though she keeps getting interrupted by students who stop to stare and several girls who think you just look so adorable with you little pen and paper and such a sewious wook on your widdle face.

Re: AVB - The Fuzzy One
She bares her teeth at the interruptions, but the probably just think she's smiling. The morons.
Finally finishing, she selects only a basic class on Library Studies or whatever class will get her into the library on a regular basis. She turns in the paperwork to the secretary as instructed, thanks her, and, assuming everything is in order, proceeds out of the building to try to find a way to pay her tuition.

Re: AVB - The Fuzzy One
Everything indeed appears in order, despite the difficulty of the paperwork.
Outside, she finds that the student organization fair is coming to a close, and several of the booths have already been taken down while others are beginning to pack up. A few persistently hang in there, apparently trying to contact every last person that they can.Quod tibi vis fieri, facias.Spoiler: Links to my content threadsAldhaven - May 27, 2010 and ongoing.

Re: AVB - The Fuzzy One
Assuming she doesn't see anything that's some sort of obvious payment program, she heads back out to the Plaza and into the Sad Flint. She tries to stay out of sight Hide - (1d20+21)[32].

Re: AVB - The Fuzzy One
The interior of the Sad Flint is quite crowded. People are coming and going all over the rather large barroom. Patrons of any possible description abound, most content to drink the beers in their hands. No one bothers to turn their head when yet another patron walks in. The atmosphere of the place is slightly dingy, but comfortable.Spoiler...
...
...
*sigh*
You know the drill. Copy/Paste it is then.
A lone half-giant is serving as the bartender at the long bar across from the entrance. Round tables with an average of four chairs each litter the common area, although several have borrowed chairs from others nearby. More than half of them seem occupied by patrons of some description and number. A pair of armored bouncers guard a double door along the west wall.
Barmaids of many different races weave in and out of the traffic, delivering food and drinks, as well as picking up empty crockery and more than a few pick-up lines.Quod tibi vis fieri, facias.Spoiler: Links to my content threadsAldhaven - May 27, 2010 and ongoing.

Re: AVB - The Fuzzy One
Reaching out with her mind, she attempts to contact the barkeep.
{Good evening, sir barkeep. This message is strictly between the two of us. I have heard tell that there are jobs available here for... skilled labor and would like to apply.}

Re: AVB - The Fuzzy One
As soon as you finish "speaking," a spike of pain stabs through your head and a loud crackling noise fills your sense. A voice booms in your mind, sending shudders through your body.
{DO NOT PRESUME, LITTLE PEST, THAT YOU ARE SO SUPERIOR.}
The pain subsides, and the voice becomes more normal.
{Speak to the two guards in the back, by the double doors. Give them this token and tell 'em "Fuzzy Wuzzy was a behir."} The barkeep flips a small, wooden coin at you. It lands on the floor in front of you as you regain your senses and the power of the mental wards surrounding the barkeep fade from your mind.Last edited by Rizban; 2012-10-19 at 02:54 AM.

She slowly picks herself up from her position sprawled out on the floor. Taking the coin in hand, she proceeds to the two guards, handing one of them the coin.
"Fuzzy Wuzzy was a behir."

Re: AVB - The Fuzzy One
The guards silently usher you through the door, closing it behind you.
On the other side is a dwarf sitting at a desk with a pile of papers strewn about. He glances up as you enter and says, "Oh, another one? Sign this and please don't get fur on my paperwork." He pushes a paper your direction.
The walls are bare stone, and behind him is a black door made of iron.Quod tibi vis fieri, facias.Spoiler: Links to my content threadsAldhaven - May 27, 2010 and ongoing.

Re: AVB - The Fuzzy One
You find that the contract is a standard non-disclosure agreement requiring the undersigned and nd all associated entities within his party that are so beholden to him to agree not to discuss anything seen in the rooms beyond or discuss the nature of the jobs found within, except the job that the person ends up taking with the person who hired it. Convoluted legal language fills the contract tying up loopholes and leaving little room for interpretation to finangle your way out. One odd passage mentions something about a needle mine, but the specifics will be hard to parse out without legal training.
The dwarf thanks you, and waves you on through the black door.
On the other side is a well groomed halfling standing between two spiral staircases. "Employer or Employee?" he asks.Quod tibi vis fieri, facias.Spoiler: Links to my content threadsAldhaven - May 27, 2010 and ongoing.

"Right this way then. Come along, little puppy."
He cheerfully takes you up the left-hand staircase. He opens the door at the top and ushers you on through.
On the other side are long hallways with labels describing the sort of jobs offered along that hall.Quod tibi vis fieri, facias.Spoiler: Links to my content threadsAldhaven - May 27, 2010 and ongoing.

Re: AVB - The Fuzzy One
The signs all advertise various roles, such as "Protection - offensive" or "Defense - pro-active". Most any sort of hired service that one would want an adventurer is represented.
Spoilergive a fluffy description of the category you're looking for in the fashion of the examples given and I'll populate the hall with adventure seeds.Quod tibi vis fieri, facias.Spoiler: Links to my content threadsAldhaven - May 27, 2010 and ongoing.

Re: AVB - The Fuzzy One
She searches for one that appears to be dealing with fighting some sort of thugs, maybe breaking up a protection racket or a gang or something.
