## Summary

**THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11, 995:** In the morning, Lamhach, upon waking up, proclaimed that she was going to visit their injured friend, Palmer, in the infirmary. Both Mace and Eren joined her, and the trio walked across campus, entering the infirmary (with Lamhach barging in through the door and the other two quietly stepping in behind her) to find Palmer still bedridden but now conscious. The group spoke with him for some time, with him claiming that he still felt awful and that he had, like the others, no recollection of the events leading up to his injuries. They spoke for some time longer, with Palmer trying and failing to assuage the worries of the group (especially Lamhach who spent most of the visit awkwardly staring at Palmer to confirm that he was in-fact alive) regarding his current state. Eventually, the group left, with Lamhach lingering to continue staring before eventually being convinced to leave as well.

**APPROXIMATE 3 WEEK PERIOD:** With no new assignments from Dello to act on, no impending meetings of the adventuring club, and no definitive way to help Guybrush, the group settled back into their semester and continued to attend classes, engaging in several encounters around campus as they worked towards their individual goals and tried their best to keep their heads low.

Late one night, Mace stumbled upon two young ruffians attempting to steal the gear-carriage of a university professor, while an unwitting constable approached the intersection from an opposite road. Mace decided not to intervene and instead allowed the constable to catch the thieves, leading to the arrest of one of the thieves and the escape of the other in the carriage.

Gutter Snipe, roaming the halls of the Department of Arcane Studies, encountered two magic students arguing over which school of magic (conjuration or evocation) would make the best cookies. They turned to Snipe for confirmation, who instead responded with transmutation. This answer won the duo over, and they left, continuing to argue about which school would make the *second* best cookies.

Lamhach was alerted to the sounds of a crying child whom she learned had gotten his pet mole stuck in a tree. She begrudgingly climbed the tree to retrieve the mole for the young child, who was delighted before losing his grip on the animal again, running off through the grass to chase it once more.

One night after class, Eren sat quietly meditating in the dormitory when his concentration was interrupted by strange noises coming from below the floor. Going down to investigate, he found that many other students had been roused from their sleep to investigate as well. The source of the sound came from behind a door with a sock on the handle. Eren, realising this may be his only chance to finally learn what a "sock-on-the-door" moment was, kicked the door down and gazed upon a sight so horrific that it shall never be described in words neither spoken nor written...but it did involve the creative use of a meadworm. Eren immediately turned himself invisible to escape, warning Gorrn when he returned to *not* go down there. Not long after, Gorrn could be heard yelling from the floor below, clearly failing to heed Eren's warning.

Unsuccessful in his research on demonology, Ishim was leaving the Department of Arcane Studies when he heard a loud bang from a practice room nearby. He rushed in to find a Human student, Rudy, who had unwittingly purchased a "Wand of Ruined Day" from The WIZRAD in an attempt to cheat her way through a magic class taught by Harkem. Ishim learned that she was a total failure of a magic student but that she had to try, as she had been kicked out of her parent's house to "go do something worthwhile". Ishim pitied(?) her and brought her to Gadway after learning she enjoyed cooking, where she would go on to ruin a batch of Gadway's new mead.

Mace overheard a conversation between a few students who were disrespectfully discussing who had truly "won" the Human-Orcish War. Eventually, their comments were too much for her to listen to idly and she scolded the trio for their words, claiming that they didn't know the sacrifices and challenges that veterans like her had faced during the conflict. The most sensible of the trio convinced her friends to leave after being confronted by Mace. Eventually, Mace began to make some headway with spiritual guidance at the Department of Divine Studies after this event.

Snipe found three young misfit children tipping over an outhouse towards the edge of a cliff. He was able to successfully convince them to *not* push it off the cliff, instead showing them how to use a crowbar for better leverage to tip it onto the nearby ground instead, much to the dismay of the occupant. A nearby constable noticed and began to gave chase, but the group was able to escape as Snipe learned the name of the trio's leader, Timmy, who mischievously thanked Snipe for his help in their shenanigans.

Lamhach overheard a conversation between a clearly uncomfortable and disinterested Palmer, and an attractive young woman very obviously flirting with him. She managed to maintain her composure to steady herself before engaging with the two. Palmer immediately used the opportunity to claim that they had a class starting soon, allowing him to escape from the woman with Lamhach, much to the chagrin of the flirter. In a nearby hallway, the two discussed his discomfort with the situation and his inability to handle the girl. Lamhach volunteered to "deal with her" for him. The two went on to have a heart-to-heart where Palmer expressed his fear of everything happening around them and Lamhach promising that she would not let Palmer get hurt the way he had been before in the infirmary.

Ishim, while walking to Gadway's dormitory, found several children painting graffiti on the side of the building. He scared them away by faking sounds of an approaching constable before investigating the graffiti, finding several phrases in thick paint, including "TIMMY WAS HERE". He decided to add his own tag to the wall: "HARKEM SUCKZ MAZZIVE DONG". He then entered Gadway's dorm room, apologized for being a poor friend (where Gadway explained that he did not feel he had been at all) and confirmed that the two were friends. Gadway agreed, but only on the condition that Ishim help him drink all of the mead that had been ruined by Rudy a few days ago. He agreed, and the two spent the rest of the evening drinking the swill and then vomiting it back up later.

Eren sat outside under a tree by the Gnomeball stadium while waiting for his friends to meet with him after practice. As he sat there, the two lumbering Goliath twins Vamak and Vadok walked by him, arguing about who had the better physique. They noticed Eren and demanded that he solve the debate for them, with both of them hitting several poses to show off their bodies. To Eren, the twins looked (and sounded and acted) completely identical, so he decided to toy with them for a bit, claiming that he needed to see more poses to really decide. The twins continued to pose as Lamhach and Agvahl approached, enquiring on what was going on. The twins explained and Agvahl stepped in, claiming that neither of them had a better physique because *he* had the best one, posing with them. Mace, Ishim, and Snipe all joined the group in this strange display of masculinity, with Mace glancing towards the dormitory window across campus to catch a glimpse of what might have been Gorrn, posing in the window as well.
