I'm still about. Don't know how much help i'll be with your Wizardmas problem or anything. I'm much better suited to my duty of preventing the assassins from killing you.

>>36855362
This is unusual.
I like it.

Any idea who the perpetrator is?

>>36855689
Could be Grinchax, the green curmudgeony troll that lives up in the mountains.

>>36855713
Wait, he's still alive?
...That means...

>>36855681
Also, I don't mind you waylaying my apprentices in their spare time, but could you please leave less claw marks on them?
I prefer not to have them nervously approach me to ask if I may fix their backs.

In my homeland there is a tale of six to eight drow that are slaves to Santa Claws, and are forced to assist him. Perhaps there was an uprising?

That's not very paladin-like of you.

>>36855754
He is indeed still alive. Some people say he's been working with Sek'Kuar, but I think he's just a miserable old codger.

>>36855796
Well, not to you perhaps.
Although I suppose morale has been rather high lately, so I should thank you for that.

>>36855770
Well that sounds downright sinister, we should look into that.

Good news friends! I have a body again! I met with an old colleague from my time alive (Elves are quite long lived) and, with he help of her cousin, a Dwarven smith (I asked, but she wouldn't explain how this worked) I am fleshed again! Well, not actual flesh, we both thought that'd be gross. Instead it is molded from a magical bronze that's a bit like Dragonskin, but smooth and jewel encrusted. My hair was darker in life, but just as thick, luscious, and curly. I wasn't this muscular though, but she assured me this went better with my handsome features, and I was inclined to agree. We even reattached my penis, which made all this possible, while making the same improvements to match the rest of my body! And to think, all it cost me was two measly days from the wizard calendar. On an unrelated note, Wizardmas has been downgraded to 10 days instead of 12.

>>36855818
I'll put my best men on the case.
>>36855821
GAAAAAAASP. Have we been selling wizardmas?

I'm a very nonstandard paladin. That's why I'm the representative between my Order and your guild for our arrangement. Wouldn't want someone who would go off smiting you for having a slightly varied view of things.
>>36855818
And there is of course the dead assassins I leave at whoever door they were trying to kill. I suspect that one has more impact on putting up with me than morale. Funny how easy most of them get distracted.

>>36855846

Have you not?

Please, Rodir, don't think I did not see how pleased you were I decided to enter with my robe open.

You got a new one too? Come brother, FLEX WITH ME!
>Conspierre's clothing explodes into tatters, leaving only a pair of shorts
That was a lot less impressive when you realize I wasn't actually wearing anything but the shorts, but hot damn do I love having a nice body. I didn't even have to work for it, I just let Lupa make it!

>>36855853
Thanks for that, by the way. I'm not sure who wants me dead, but it may have something to do with pissing off that Elder Dragon a few years back...

That may backfire on you. Do you feel a tendency to gnaw on bones and drink blood yet?

>>36855926
Yes we do... We just thought you were doing it on purpose and were politely not mentioning it.

>>36855926
No, no we can not, because there is not yet a rule against me wearing only shorts.

What? No of course not. Standard bone and muscle density improvements, improved reflexes, balance, less bacne, potbelly is gone, no more gray hairs in my sinister goatee. I paid quite well for it, and Lupa is known for her work.

Well, I can hardly blame them for staring.

Back on topic, we've recently been having some very calm aether flow.
This is extremely odd, because the aether around this place is usually fluctuating like crazy. What's going on? Did you guys start using non-aetherial power sources?

>>36855933
No, it is not, but it IS your fault for not cleaning up after yourself. I will overlook the systemic massacre of my stores of seafood, as it is there to be eaten, but you just left the carcasses by my door! WHY? Did you think I can't catch them on my own?

>>36856090
Do I need to cast aether bind or what?

>>36856106
Leave the girl alone, it's just in her nature!

>>36856140
Now why would you need to that my fellow spell caster who uses spells just like I clearly do?

>>36856140
SHE IS ENTIRELY CAPABLE OF THOUGHT AND MANNERS. As for the stable Aether, there have been numerous improvements to the guild hall after its reconstruction.

>>36856161
Let's see some Prestidigitation.
Even druids can use that one.
>>36856166
I should hope that they've used proper channeling structures this time. The old ones didn't so much channel aether as they did forcibly eject it from the surrounding area.

>>36855883

Yes, it is quite nice not to be a desiccated corpse! I can enjoy the simple pleasures in life again! Like food, and wine, and the baker's daughter!

>>36855899

I didn't do this for you, I leave my robe open for EVERYONE to glory.

Also, you're a woman? It's been so long since such a thing has mattered to me that all you living things began to look like and I was secretly beginning to hate you all for it, as being unfeeling leaves one a bit bitter.

Which reminds me, I have to... Err... Clean a few things up. In my lab. Not sentient diseases, why would you even think that?

Quite funny in the way thaey'd smack each other about when one of them said or did something wrong. Constantly hitting each other with large pieces of wood by mistake too.

I don't get you living people. You're always stripping and rutting whenever you get a free moment in a abandoned corridor, or in my office when you think I'm meditating, or in the school gardens, or wherever, but I come in freely naked and unashamed, and that it somehow a problem.

You know, in my day, we appreciated the nude form, not for it's ability to grind and mash and moan, but for it's innate beauty and ingenuity. The best magicians of my time practiced exclusively in the nude, as the aether flowed freer that way.

I don't know what's wrong with living people today.

It's like you've never seen a radiantly beautiful bronze man with a jewel encrusted penis.

>>36856254
I am unsure of your ability to hunt. Most of the wizards here infact. I wouldn't want any of you to starve to death on my watch It would look bad for me.

>>36856318
The wyverns are back ALREADY?
I thought that at least with the old guild hall gone we'd be rid of them!

I promise you, it's in quite a lot of pain. Even if the physical effects of pain on the body aren't present, it still feels it. If I wanted to kill it, I would. I'm still training them to not attack people that walk in here.
>>36856370
I'm sure a dead bodyguard or two wouldn't go amiss, but you won't be able to kill the mark. High powered cleric, accomplished witch, paranoid enough to guard against most things. I'd recommend the honeypot for this one.

>>36856315

Maybe not now you're not, but when you were an acolyte... Or maybe you weren't. So many of the acolytes pull this crap, I just assume they all did. I am pretty sure Conspierre, when he was still in training, is the one that told the other acolyte that Liches need to meditate to recover magical energy. Which isn't true. I was aware of everything and extremely confused as to what was happening, as it had been many years since I had seen the act done.

And then all of his damned class kept trying for that until I let hellhounds run around my office and the hall outside my office.

>>36856440
Nothing meant by it dear, I just think cats are so adorable!
>pets fluffy ears
>>36856462
When I was an acolyte, I spent half of my time studying and half of my time not being consumed by aether storms.

>>36856462
Oh please, you're still on about that? I know for a fact that my old teacher was far more insufferable. Didn't even have the decency to not die laughing. Ugh, Secretus.....good riddance I say.

>>36856352

Rodir, we've ALWAYS had Wyverns in the Guild Halls. ALWAYS. Back when Wizardmas had 173 days, The Mad Old Diviner Erasmus DuCant traded three days to the dragons to make this so.

He then traded two weeks to the paladins so we'd have a new cat girl Paladin in our halls every three months. Of course, we stopped enforcing that bargain when he passed, but every once in a while, the Orders rediscover the old agreement and send one to us, thinking they'll raise our ire if they don't. Personally, I don't see the appeal.

Oh right, you were the one the other acolytes called frigid and bitchy. "She who needs to get laid" they claled you. Of course, most of those acolytes were failed or eaten by a grue, and now you're one of the best Aether Adepts we've in this hall in a Dargon's age. So, in the end I declare thee the winner.

>>36856483

Ahhhh, I remember old Secretus. My, what an ass he was. I'm glad to see you're keeping up the proud tradition of Conspiramancers being insufferable. It is a shame that so many of institutions of the guild fall by the wayside.

By the way this dead fish carcass is absolutely awful. How wonderful.

You are Dr. Stabby. Who is my otter companion and it must be so because two characters clearly couldnt have same name and I clealy didnt confuse myself on something. Duh

>>36857078
aka this. srry

>>36857095
Or was the otter in fact, a figment of your imagination all along? Perhaps some cunning and exceedingly handsome and mysterious wizard merely convinced you that you had a pet otter.

>>36857028
No -.- They were heavily restricted novels, some of which are too powerful for any wizard, even headmasters, and others are even more important. Librarians have their souls bound to their favorite novel when they pass their apprenticeship as so that they can serve their library indefinitly. Much like becoming a lich but we don't become generic assholes to others.
Whomever stole the novels also stole books for three of the librarians in the school. If those books are destroyed in a way a librarian cannot fix than the person also has killed three members of this guild that have served here for over a millennium

No thanks, I may be excusing myself shortly. I'm not one to enjoy so much of the rooms attention placed on me.

A few meetings ago I arrived and secured a pact between my order and your guild of mutal protection. It seems news travels slowly around here. Since I had the most experience dealing with wizards...

They sent me for the first watch. And i've already rooted out five assassins. Its quite fun. They hide like mice. All focused on preventing the magical detection and forgetting the physical.

Everyone you can. Other books were stolen detailing the guild's hidden agenda, specific killings, not to mention ways in which to destroy magic across whole planes. If the person understand what they read they may have a way to end this guild entirely

Oh, tut. The catfolk rarely enter elven settlements, while cats act as familiars all the time. I'm learning what is and is not appropriate among them. Surely you can't fault an old lady her curiosity.

>>36857180
I'm sure there is no one here that specializes in nonsensical plots for petty laughs. I mean, it would take weeks of strategically hiding in your house placing otter droppings by the door and rubbing fish oil on your things, with a few well placed illusions to let you catch glimpses of an otter as it appears to leave to go hunting for more fish.

>>36857198
I am clearly a member of this guild and not a diguised rogue sent here to cause mayhem and steal precious tomes and such. Don't you remember me?

>>36857216
I do not care about your questions, I will ignore them if they offend me, But referring to someone as a lesser race is rude, Though I suppose your kind cant help that. I think I heard your word for other races was just 'Not us' or something? There is quite a difference between us and the pets that other races keep. It is a VERY touchy subject among my kind. In fact I bit my tongue on a much more insulting way of addressing you.

>>36857239

With his ramrod plowing deep into my enchilada of love, the sensation of his giggle stick smashing my cervix made me quake like an epileptic at a Pink Floyd concert. The mixture of butt nugget and baby gravy in my rusty sherif's badge created the delicious sphincter sauce that he was so fond of. When he removed his blue-veined custard chucker from my cocoa channel, he was pleasantly surprised to see a colon cobra staring back as him.

Do you have any idea how much preparation I've had to do behind the scenes setting up the new guild hall? Why, first there was capturing all the wyverns and transporting them to the punishment hole for domestication, because I am sure you are familiar with the death toll from those blasted things. Then it was setting up the various wards in every single permeable opening, in every spatial dimension, in every conceivable iteration of this guild hall. Then it was off to charge the mobility system so that we can make it walk somewhere else if we feel like. Then it was another meeting with the various heads of the other guilds, which was just as headache inducing as you would expect, having to answer to all of your nonsense. I mean for pity's sake, the ex head of necromancy burned down ANOTHER forest! Conspierre just won't stop torturing things and muttering, Soros keeps giving me knowing winks, Lupa keeps trying to show me whatever horror she's created most recently, Quin keeps trying to convince me to become a magical girl, Fryia and Noel are loudly sleeping together three doors down, Illyria just won't stop smacking her lips when she eats, Percival is off being fabulous in new and exciting ways in extremely conservative cultures, and do I even need to speak of the escapades of that degenerate Randolph?

Well, Mortimer left so I can get you some coffee if you'd like.

Is the meeting over yet? Oh... I must have overslept again...

>>36859372
Are we actually going to protect the however many days of wizardmas that are left?

Sorry about that, that damn adventurer party that destroyed the bar the other day decided that my entire village was a cult worshipping the God of Shadows. It took me a bit to convince them otherwise. -_-;

And I'm back folks

>>36859399
Morning Illyria
Or rather afternoon actually.
>>36859380
Thanks. Nice outfit by the way, lost a bet?

Hello again.
Dont have a ton of free time right this second but I think I've made a significant breakthrough with the MG tech I've been playing with. Gimme a few minutes to file everything and I'll be able to explain in more detail.

In the meantime please don't get the new guild hall blown up again?

>>36859491
Well, I went into the kitchen to brew some, and Marco just handed me this and growled. Says on the tag it "allows me to handle Mortimer's coffee and machinery without sullying the kitchen" or something like that. Better safe than sorry.

Is there something wrong with it?

>>36859514
No promises Sam.

>>36859491
Morning, mother. I still have to get used to the whole "day/night" thing... *yawn*
>>36859514
You're asking that to the wrong people, I'm afraid.

>>36859489
Welcome back Mortimer.

[spoilers]work is a bitch

>>36859584
thank you

>>36859584
God dammit s

>>36859597
Oh, welcome back. I swear I put everything in the kitchen back where it belongs.

>>36859530
damn it Marco, I told you that was not necessary
>>36859615
I believe you

>>36859530
Just can't help but find it funny how its more modest than your typical clothes.

No one has explain to me who the catgirl paladin is and why she's here yet.

>>36856960

In life I took a vow of arcane chastity and aromanticism, and I became one of the formost authorities on Necromancy and magic in general (at the time), and you know what I got for it? Stabbed by a bard who thought I was the same evil wizard as my grandfather and stuffed me into experimental magic item I was working on.

I'm not saying neglect your studies and work in favor of shallow entaglements, but don't be afraid to live a little.

>>36859631
I too found her presence to be disturbing, to say the very least.
>>36859629
Hello mortimer. Mind binging me some coffee, please?

>>36859671
Here you go

Is this meeting important, or do I get to go back to my ice fishing & white water rafting holiday in the Silver Peaks?

>>36859581
You get use to it honey.
I hate to ask this while you're still waking up, but the whole adoption thing, will that cause any trouble for you back home? Besides the spider goddess thing.

>>36859631
She seems to be on a heroic quest to promote the apprentices from boys to men through pitched combat in the bedroom.

Otherwise, I don't know if she has a name.

>>36859731
It's kind of a pain to break the obstinacy again, but morale is up regardless among the apprentices.

>>36859731
As true as this may be, her official purpose is inter-order relations between her Paladins and the Mages Guild.

>>36859683
Thank you
>>36859715
I don't... really know. But I've not been able to perform divine magic after last meeting, so Lolth is probably angry with me and this would mean, the drow are not going to recognize me as a princess anymore. Probably. I still need to hear what Kazran has to say about this, maybe we can trick the houses into thinking I'm still the Chosen... But I don't mind! Even if I don't get to be a princess anymore! I'd rather be with you than be a princess of the Underdark!
>>36859731
Shameful.

>>36859828
Yes, just as I said.

But Lord James, how are you today?

>>36859831
I'm flattered. me and Fryia can't offer much in terms of finances, at least on par with your old life of being a Princess, but we'll promise to be the best parents we can be.

>>36859828
Pfff, I said we should've made nice with the demon hunters, personally. I know a Huntress.

It's probably the adoption thing that has Lolth pissed off if I was to hazard a guess. Not sure why, but it's the first thing I'd guess.

>>36859542
Geez, I don't need the stress right now...

Anyway, magical girl stuff - well, three things apparently.

1) I THINK I've deciphered the rune system this thing is using as a language, to where I could potentially wrote "code" for any existing transformation trinket we come across. Of course without a way to debug them before actually trying them out I'm willing to wait a bit longer before doing anything about this.

2) Apparently there are several more transformation trinkets like this among the library's archives - maybe even one or two that were shielded from the decommissioning. Worth delving in there again.

3) I was told I always need 3 points in a list. Got nothing more on magical girl stuff, but Noel maybe you have some other kind of fire magic you an teach me?

>>36859903
Yes! To be with you would be enough to me!
... I was thinking however, am I still supposed to wear the robes you gave me the first time we met?

Mother-child bonding and robust catgirl paladins.

I'm going to go catch a marlin the size of a basilisk. Nobody follow me.

Sorry for my tardiness, I just got back. What did I miss?

>>36860038
I bet you can't.

>>36860048
Idle conversation

>>36859988
Well you're still obligated to wear the overcoat due to you being a student here, you can wear anything else underneath it, I was being...difficult when you first arrived.
My stance on the spiderweb dress stands though, I swear drow fashion makes mine look like a nun habit. Ludicrous amounts of leather too.

>>36860076
Anything I should know? I'm currently out of all but my emergency mana. Due to reasons I will not specify.

>>36860083
Mother-daughter bonding over fashion?

Certainly, time for the bread and butter of the pyromancer's spelllist.
FIREBALLS.

>>36860048
Welcome, Soros. Don't you happen to have any news from the Underdark? I'm especially concerned about the well being of my bodyguard...
>>36860083
But... this morning I met Cromina and she said black leather is a classic and every proper female mage should wear leather clothes...

>>36860148
Illyria, don't follow Cromina's example on damn near anything. She thinks nylon bodystockings is appropriate dark mage apparel.

>>36860139
Nothing important, I don't think. I missed a good chunk of earlier conversations. So far no major leads on that Jheska lady you're all looking for, that I've been told of at least. Uh, Twitch opened a portal to a Beholder rave that lasted for maybe a minute before we shut it.

That's pretty much it.

>>36860148
Sadly no, I was nowhere near there and like I said i'm running short of spells and mana at the moment. I can do a seeing in an hour after I've had time to rest.

>>36859859
Pretty good, yourself?

>>36860139
Touch my shadow Soros, you can take some of its mana.

>>36860203
Huh slow day today. Good we could use a break.

>>36860048
Hey Soros

>>36860206
Would you like some mana-restoring mushrooms?

>>36860221
Splendid! my adopted owlbear, Sir Archibald Frothington is growing to become king of the owlbears.

>>36860221
I'd rather not for reasons best left unexplained. Fair enough?

>>36860237
Good day Mortimer any coffee left?

>>36860248
Again best if I didn't.

>>36860230
Damn It Soros!
>>36860260
yes there is

>>36860206
I would appreciate it, then.
>>36860184
As you wish. But she acts so enthusiastically about the whole being my godmother thing, I almost feel bad turning her down...

>>36860271
At least I didn't pull a Cromina....
Anyways long and short of it is, Mortimer coffee is one of the few mana boosters I can ingest that doesn't boost my "passenger" as well.

>>36860275
Sure let me get my mind right and mana regenerated.

Leather has its uses, especially in colder climes where heat retention is important. A leather overcoat is fine, and of course good leather boots are never bad to have. Wearing it exclusively is...not something I'd recommend, though.

>>36860147
I know if I used that trinket I'd be able to launch a bunch of them with no problem, but that's not the point. I guess my big hangup is going to be this - how do I get the fire from the ground to the target?

be right back in ten minutes

First, imagine a spark. Big, small, doesn't matter, just get the image in your head.
