The Old Tavisham Academy & Surrounds

Day 488 since the Rahakaz emerged from the ground and started being terribly noisy. My prayers once again turn to the students of the very-near future - dear friends, please save my poor ears. ~ excerpt from the year-opening address of Headmistress Elsith Relg

Diplomacy 5 | Military 2 | Economy 6 | Faith 2 | Intrigue 2

Actions:

[1] Economy: Buyout TP 1 in Region 47 (15)(spending one treasure)(this is one higher than the displayed roll below because I forgot it came with the +1 from the expedition)

[2] Economy: Buyout TP 2 in Region 47 (15)(spending one treasure)

Ensorcelled ink! The lucky band of students who had been fleeing a rap on the knuckles for covering the class in leaves and sticks were pardoned at a stroke when the lead troublemaker fell into a pit of the ink, emerging drowned, but nonetheless notably altered. Their fur was congealed, and from every orifice slithers of ink dripped but an inch, before swirling up into the air, forming glyphs and runes for instants before fading into the air. The rest of the students fled in screaming panic, but the accompanying lecturers dutifully rounded them up and began a systematic geological survey of the surrounding area, only losing three further intrepid exploring students to the pitfalls of ink before concluding the best policy would be to build perimeter fences around the area and convince the Rahakaz to do the mapping for them. Perhaps under the guise of planning a new racetrack...

[3] Economy: Buyout TP 1 in Region 45 (16)(spending one treasure)

"The eyes of Dragons? Dragons can fly! We must have them! We could see the sky!" Elsith regretted assigning the most excitable of her explorers to the Wyrmlands, but their reports were prompt and to the point, and she respected that.

[4] Diplomacy: Continue GP "In her Headmistress' Public Service" (2 Actions)

[5] Diplomacy [5][Special]: Introduce Cultural Identity: Relentless Curiosity (2d8 to Buyouts).

The Academy is a rapacious beast. Within those storied halls experimentation abounds at a reckless pace, and such raucous abandon proceeds at the sufferance of the explorers and merchants that supply those halls with endless curiosities to explode and demand more of.

Expected stat ups: +1 Diplomacy, +1 Economy

Non-Actions:

Permit the passage of military units through the Academy (including WTP troops)(Elsith kindly requests no pillaging. That would disturb the Academy's studies - not to mention it would be quite rude. Good day.)

A fringe group of botanists in the east wing begin to try their hands at biology, investigating the very informal taxonomical systems the Academy has in its files. They declare that the ratfolk of Tavisham are, in fact, Durats. The rest of the Academy views this declaration with some suspicion, but undaunted, the group continue their research and experimentation, and the possibility of a shared ancestor indeed seems increasingly likely. Their magical talents, some whisper, may even be a different manifestation of the Durat psychic power. While the debate is for the moment a sideline affair, it does seem to fascinate more by the day.
