Absalom’s Arcanimirium is known far and wide as one of the finest Mage Schools in Golarion. Therefore, it shouldn’t come as a surprise when you learn that it was the institution of choice for the first Flumph wizard in history. Although Idikiukup (the aforementioned student) had no aptitude for magic, he did possess an enormous amount of money and a willingness to learn. His road to wizardry was a long and arduous one, and he was consistently ranked in the bottom of his class. Eventually though, “Fumbles” (as he was ‘affectionately’ called by the other students) was ready to take the exit exam. Although the examination room is magically warded, the testing instructors still fear for the safety of the school – after all, “idiot-proof” just means you haven’t found the right idiot. As a precaution, you’ve been hired to observe Fumbles’ examinations. Just as a precaution, of course. When they offered you 800gp apiece to keep an eye on him, you jumped at the chance. Easiest task ever!
The exams have gone surprisingly well thus far, and there’s now only one test left. Fumbles has to demonstrate his mastery of the Conjuration school of magic by summoning an animal of some sort. A dog. A small viper. Perhaps an eagle? If he can summon a creature inside the specially-marked circle, command it to carry out a simple task, and then dismiss it, Fumbles will graduate.
Dotting in. Had to start a new alias cause I am using this character in another recruitment. If you could go over my character I would really appreciate it.
Dot!

Fumbles nervously mutters to himself as he begins his spell. Even to those untrained in the arcane arts, something seems 'off' with his casting mechanics.
"Looks like this'll be nasty"
Brimle flips out his swords with a flourish
Oi, this should be good.
Yvanesh shakes his head as he notices the mistakes. He appreciates the effort of Fumbles but does not approve forcing such a delicate art. He still does not know what is being conjured however.
"Oh dear, I had SO hoped for a simple job, for a change."
Xarol hurriedly pulls out a flask and downs it's contents.
Aeron watches the incompetent young man, noticing his errors despite his utter lack of arcane experience. 'His form is all wrong, so awkward...' He suddenly realizes why he was hired for this job and removes his bow, putting an arrow to the string.
Yvanesh shouts a warning as Fumbles completes his spell. A portal opens, and three Fiendish Hyenas appear. The summon was successful! Unfortunately, the portal seems to be stuck open, and more creatures can be seen inside. Even worse, Fumbles seems unable to control the (very hungry-looking) creatures.
Round One
As long as nothing gets in the way, minus the terrain of course, Raed will move to the closest target and Grapple, even if the target comes to him.
RAAAAAAAAAH
Raed moves up to the closest Hyena, but it proves too slippery for him.
The hyenas proceed to tear into him and Fumbles, inflicting grievous wounds.
Xarol curses "Why does it never go smoothly!" He mixes two vials together and then heaves it next to the hyenas.
"Burn foul beasts!"
"These hyenas are dangerous..." Yvamesh stands his ground and casts Mage Armor on himself.

Brimle jumps onto the center platform with fumbles and tumbles over in range of the west hyena.
Aeron brings his bow up as he takes a few stesp to clear his line of sight to the hyena. Once in position he smoothly draws back the string to his cheek. Once he feels the stiff fletching brush against his cheek, he releases the string with a sharp snap as his arrow streaks towards it's target.
With agile grace, Brimie leaps over to the central platform. Unfortunately, he tumbles for a fraction of a second too long, and his attack goes wide. The Hyenas promptly proceed to rip into the two delicious-looking targets. Fumbles takes the brunt of the assault and goes down in a spray of blood. Brimie doesn't escape unscathed, though, as he takes a nasty bite to the leg Xarol tosses a bomb that showers two of the Hyenas in fire. They dodge the worst of the explosion but fail to escape completely unscathed. Raed and Aeron's attacks miss by the merest fraction of a hair.
New Round
"Time to cut some dog!"Brimle tumbles around the hyena for a better shot.
[ooc]abro is Brimle [\ooc]
"Mangy mutts, burn!" Xarol cries, and flings another cylinder of odd looking liquid.
In one smooth motion Aeron draws an arrow, puts it to his string, draws, and releases at his opponent!
RAH you slippery little beast. Raed forgoes the grapple in favor of taking down a weakened opponent and punches one of the hyenas in the face.
Yvanesh casts Magic Missile at the nearest enemy ().
Xarol, Raed, and Yvanesh burn, punch, and blast two of the Hyenas. They dissipate as they die, and the mist from their bodies is sucked back into the summoning portal - which dims slightly. The sole remaining Hyena takes a half-hearted snap at Raed but is easily dodged. Suddenly, an Eagle flies through the portal and attacks Brimie! He's able to dodge the talons, but the creature's beak catches him in the shoulder .
New Round
Boot to the face. Haha.
Xarol realizes that there might be more enemies forthcoming "We have to guard Fumbles, or we won't get paid!"
He moves to F7 and then spends a standard action giving a potion of cure light wounds to fumbles.
Yvanesh raises his hand to cast Magic Missile again before moving to get a better view ().

Brimle dives over to the hyena in front of Raed and takes a swing.
Aeron draws and fires at the eagle shortly after it appears!
Yvanesh's missile causes the Eagle to disippate. Once again, Raed and Aeron barely miss the last Hyena - as does Brimie. Meanwhile, Xarol risks life and limb to save Fumbles from bleeding out; he absorbs a nasty Hyena bite in the process . The portal glows again, and a Dire Rat appears. The agile Brimie is easily able to dodge its snapping teeth.
New Round
This is bad... Just how are we supposed to close that portal?
Xarol snarles in pain at the bite. "Fumbles, get clear now!" he calls and takes a 5 foot step back to E7 and lobs another bomb near the rat.
"Finally I get some hurt on these mutts!"as his sword slices a deep gash.
Knowing nothing about magical portals, the archer focuses his attention on the enemies at hand! "Wizard, close this portal. We shall deal with the creatures!" With that he draws and fires at the nearest enemy!
Get ye back here you jumpy little pup.
Working together, you're able to bring down both creatures just as a Viper slithers out of the portal. It tries to bite Xarol but misses.
New Round
"Killing the summons makes the portal weaker, keep at it, I'm going to try something!" Xarol pulls one of his few remaining bombs and chucks it towards the still open portal.
Damn scaly beasts. Raed steps up to the snake and stomps.
Yvanesh sidesteps ()to get a clear shot at the viper (). With one finger, he whispers to himself as a bluish glow erupts.
(into melee)
And the ray misses, almost hitting Raed's leg as he stops down at the viper.
Aeron draws another arrow and fires at the viper just as Raed stomps down on the creature!
Brimle side-steps over to swing at the viper.
Brimie and Raed work together to take down the Viper before it can do any damage. As usual, it disintegrates, and its life essence is sucked back through the portal. Thinking quickly, Xarol tosses a bomb in after it. There's a flash of fire, and the portal vanishes.
Yvanesh approaches Fumbles and tries to see if he's alright. If he's still bleeding, attempt to help him stabilize.
Raed Stares at the spot the punching bags were coming out of and then looks menacingly at Xarol.
Oi. What'd ye do? Make them come back. I ain't done punching things yet.
"Bah, silly dwarf. Closing that portal was the best way to save our skins, and our payday.
Xarol moves over to Yvanesh. "I poured a potion down his throat, he should be fine."
