"Wha!" Zilla cries out as she starts to fall. Her sudden impact is stopped suddenly. "I'm floating. I so like to fly." She tells themas she sets her feet on the ground. "Ooh sparkly."
Analyze Dewomer sees if you have any magic items or active spells. If you have either, you can either allow him to know what they are, or you can resist it. Normally resisting would require a will save, but Tybs won't take it that far. You can choose whether or not he knows what they are. This is a passive ability and he could require a will save but chooses not to.
"No, it's OK. I'm putting the magic in myself. Right now actually. I don't cast spells as they are, so I just do this the hard way of building the pattern from scratch."
The hedgehog sitting on the table is feeding the yarn to him from a ball it keeps stationary by balancing on top of it and rolling around.
"I'm offworld too, by the way."

"So you are only doing spellweave then. So what spell are you including? ...Wait dragons? What kind of dragons? Dumb animal Dragons or smart, people Dragons? The only dragons left on my world were the brainwashed ones controlled by the Empire. Until Shiara turned the Prince's mount into one of us anyway. I always wondered what they were like before the Empire." Vickory suddenly turned on Arthur with intense interest.
based on Sun's description the group arrives on a trail. just ahead is what appears to be a small village.
the weather is a bit colder than at the school. past the village up a hill is what appear to be the tops of larger pagodas probably a temple of some sort.
Sun looks around. They are probably up by the temple. Follow me
Sun leads them through the village. many of the villagers seems to recognize Sun but keet a distance from the light being, probably out of uncertainty rather than fear.
the village itself is not a very fancy place, almost every building is very simple and definately with purpose.

Carl waits wile she talks,
then adds
"Arthur, you want me to take your ship off mine and put it in the hanger?
Then once done he get the ship to Teleport them to the flight deck pad.
The HammerShaft is in the schools hanger with a few other craft, mostly skimmers I think.
You arrive on a teleport pad, The inside of the ship you can see looks likes very Dwarfen, sharp lines, thick walls and short door its all very SteamPunk-ish, Cogs and pips, dials and levers. There are oil lens screens, some work seems to have been done on the light controls, like newer tech has been added. tinmans work there are a few crash seats for the crew of four and pilot. Its surprising tidy.
"He's bleeding cleaned up again, Ill find nothing now"
Carl says to himself. Then Carl go's over to the flight controls, checking the systems now he's back.
"This here is the flight deck, have a seat I just need to check the systems"
He pulls a lever and giant plates move up off the windows, you can see out into the hanger. There is a low humm from the ship and odd sounds now and then like clangs and clicks.
"I'm making a gift fo-"
He begins to respond before she switches to dragons.
Dragons sure give me a lot of trouble... Just about every third problem is a dragon or related to one...
He silently continues his knitting.
"Of course. And I'm sure she appreciates having the support of her friends. Now excuse me. I need to get back to her," she said before heading back into the lab.
"He'll be back in a while," she said, walking back over to Vai and giving her a hug. "Now, let's talk about why you're so upset."
Vai buries her face into the hug again, her voice muffled. The snuffles are mostly gone at this point, but by the force of the hug, everything isn't alright."Mom... I..."she starts, halting shortly after starting."We did the right thing, I know that. So... *sniff* why does part of me wish we hadn't?"
And then, just a little more quietly..."Why do they get to cry, when they did it to me?""
"Okay, honey, let's start at the beginning. I take it that your mission to save your birth parents was successful? So I'm guessing it's the reunion with them that has you so upset....Vai, sweetie, it's like you said before you left. We're still family. Nothing about that has changed. And I'm guessing you have a whole lot of confusing emotions, including a whole lot of anger about the past, and clearly some mixed feelings about whether you should have rescued them or not. So let's try to talk through this a little bit here. Maybe you should start by telling me what happened when you went back."
::very well I shall wait,:: he says and indicates a stack of books floating behind him he raps on the door with his lowermost left arm and proects into the room to Aananda's mind ::at your earliest convenience I would like to speak to you, I understand that you are busy at the moment, and I am fully prepared to wait until such time as the current issue is resolved::
::It's going to be a while. I am dealing with a family matter. I can contact you when I am free to speak with you.::
Lang and Midori and Grim all help Hew back to camp.
Master Blackscales. Hew said he thinks something happened to Zilla back at the school. Should we teleport back to see if she is alright?
Ephebe stands up and draws her Caster. "Set him down. Hew, this won't hurt. Eventually I won't even have to remind you," she said, shooting him with a cure moderate. "Now, can you please tell me exactly what happened to cause such an injury and why you think something happened to Zilla?"

"Not much, some banter between me and Carl, Tybalt even joined in" at this Arthur slaps him on the back he feels just barely warmer than a normal person, think, person with a fever "talk kinda peetered out and Carl went to show off his ship to the snake chick...Vick something or other"
"Hes off some place, so its just you and me Lass, looks like ill be showing ya round, now word to the wise, this here is a working ship, some doors have big signs on em says don't go in. I would heed them.
Other than that your free to look at what you like, so let me show ya the gally and rooms, well the empty one any way, mines a mess and others are taken, Arthur and Tinman, Mind you his is more of a cubbed come workship. Then the hold, its a bit empty now as I was doing runs taking fire-birds off the fake sun."
he walks over to what looks to be a big clanking clock.
"Dis here is the shafts computer, some new parts in it so now its a bit faster. Its 8 terra-cogs it is, that come computing power there."
"Ow."
Tybalt says somewhat reflexively when Arthur pats him.
"That's really it. Knitting."
He raises his work up. It's a silver scarf with the beginning of a rust colored pattern.
Ace makes his way briskly to the infirmary, and immediately seeks out Ginni and Morrivan. Once he finds his girlfriend, he asks after their waterbending friend.
"I have all week to do it... thanks. I'll see ya."
Other than that he doesn't protest her leaving.
He would prefer her to stay, but he hides it well, letting her do as she wishes.
don't worry, I want to do something special for him and its kinda surprise.
She leads Arthur across the cafeteria and out a side door.
arthur only please:
she takes him to a back door where the kitchen is. she slips as quietly as possible indicating for Arthur to do the same thing.
Dodging cooks and other kitchen staff, she make her way to the freezer.
keep watch
she lips inside and starts rummaging around in there, finding everything she needs to make a vanilla ice cream cake wth "for a really great friend" written in chocolate frozen icing.
think he will like it? she she shows Arthur. the cake is a bit lopsided and the words don't quite fit right.
oops, i forgot, she makes a heart in the ice cream with her finger. There, done.
Hew's eyes widen as he sees the caster aimed at him. After getting shot he checks himself over. With a sigh of relief he begins to tell the story. "Well Miss Blackscale. I felt the mindscape shift with fear. Which means Zilla or I was afraid of something. I can only assume she was as I had no reason to be. After that it felt sort of like I got stabbed in the gut. I felt Zilla enter the mindscape after. Well I turn ed to find you but I think a backlash caused me to fall unconscious along with something hitting my head I'm guessing a log I fell on or something." Hew tells her as he rubs his brow. "I haven't heard from Zilla yet and she's not in the minscape so I'm kinda worried. As for why they were helping me walk I'm still a bit dizzy from the backlash. So I was have trouble walking straight."
"Wha!" Zilla cries out as she starts to fall. Her sudden impact is stopped suddenly. "I'm floating. I so like to fly." She tells themas she sets her feet on the ground. "Ooh sparkly."
"Good, you will be fine now but if you feel weak, I can carry you"
Alrnnneesha follows the others, watching them so as to fit in, doing as they do.
"No I can walk. I'm jut not sure where we are and I'm not so sure where to go. So I will let you two lead the way." She replies to her while looking around worriedly.

"Maybe he can't see us in this darkness it's hard to see, I think I can help with locating him."
With that she flys up changing to light her true light form, up into the air about 500ft and starts to shine, it's like a mini sun blazing overhead. Pulsing light out.

Upon hearing he has to spend the night in the infirmary, Sil looks strained and a bit like he might get sick. "You want me to spend an entire night, surround by all these bizarre machines and equipment? Seriously?"
"Alright, now we just have to wait. Do you have any questions that I can answer for you while we're waiting?"
Jessa hesitates, glances at Ryuzo, then takes a deep breath and raises her head, meeting Nala's eyes defiantly with bitterness almost visibly dripping from her tongue, "When are you people going to stop being nice to me? I mean, do you think after so many times through this song and dance that I am going to fall for the 'nice scientist' routine anymore? The 'you aren't in the Empire anymore' is a new twist, but let's just cut the crap and get back to the experimentation." With that she sits on the edge of the table, crosses her ankles, folds her hands in her lap, and drops her eyes back to the floor.

Vickory looks around at everything.
"Very interesting. The styling is unlike anything I've ever seen."
Seems delighted with everything, until the computer, "You use a mechanical computer? That is some old science you are using. Though it is much larger then the ones I've seen. What is it's calculating speed?"
Lang looks off noticing a light shining from the village.
I hope that isn't anything bad. Lang is worried not knowing what is going on in the village but he doesn't want to leave Hew.
After a bit some villagers run from the village toward the campsite.
Avatar Lang, there is some spirit in the village. we don't know what it wants. Sun is with it. what is going on? they sound a little panicky unsure what to do looking to Lang and everyone in the camp for help.

"village? I thought that sun was at the school?" (If this was not a typo or mistake on your part then consider the in quotes part to be in character)
Inside the magical world of Agartha is a school. A very special school for teaching gifted youngsters to control their abilities. Another school year has just begun and things are as always interesting, chaotic, and occasionally out of control...
Still trying to figure out an actual race for Marra but I'm here! I'm leaning a bit more towards my combined Warforged/Earth Elemental type being idea unless anyone has some other cool suggestion. and if taht does not work i'm cool with being an Oread. Otherwise I also need some help with a class I suppose since nothing really seems to fit the style I want with Marra.
Don't worry about them then. Make up a race. Forget class levels and make stuff up as you go along(Ryo was a Seer and a Cardcaster, neither of which had classes at the time, though Oracle could fit now. I'm still not going to stat him out yet!).

If you go for warforged be prepared to fend off tinkering attempts. ^.^
(Don't let that discourage you...more o a friendly heads up.) :D
As for the class thing....I ended up using a mish mash. I went with monk as the base cause that had most of the right feel, but pared off some monk abilities and added in the rock stuff as spell-like abilities. The spell transmute rock to mud and vice versa and the psionic powers involving telekinesis make a good base to give you some idea of what you could expect to be transforming/ tossing around at what level. I don't think per day limits are really fitting with the earthbender theme, so don't worry about that.

And yes, this. Don't sweat the details. It's important to give yourself limits, but don't get too hung up about it.

The reason I said Warforged was more because I intended her to be a sort of metal on the outside, rock on the inside type of creature and Warforged are the best thing I could think of that are sentient hehe people can TRY tinkering with her, they just best be prepared for a paunch to the face xD!
As for the class stuff that actually sounds pretty good, not exactly sure how far I'll be able to go with it at whatever level i'm allowed to be but if anything I'll probably be told no if I try something waaaaay out of my power league xD and just fix it(or perhaps fail spectacularly which could end up being far more fun hehe)
For Krays I was thinking I don;t even really need to take True Necro levels, as the "feel" is pretty well covered by the oracle mystery and the undead bloodline from sorceror. I'm still gonna choose some feats and spells from Libris Mortis...that stuff is full of flavorful win.

If you have access to the Advanced Bestiary from Green Ronin, you should check out the metal-clad template. You could apply that to an Oread and get what you're looking for with that possibly...
[EDIT:] Good News - someone over at the Pathfinder OGC site has actually converted the template. Check it out here for some possible inspiration. :)

Nasima sort of ducks, chagrined, and immediately stops waving her hand and slowly pulls it back down to her side. She doesn't move anything except her eyes, which slowly scan back and forth to see if anyone spotted her faux pas. She gives a tight and embarrassed little smile as her cheeks flush.

Thunder can be heard in the distance.
The kobold glances towards the sound, and looks similarly abashed. He coughs. "Well, I suppose you're entitled to a little frivolity. Go on, wave and bounce as much as you like."
'Sima's eyes go wide at the sound of thunder, especially since it's a gloriously sunny day outside. Oh no, not now, not HIM, not on the first day!
"hnnnnn...haaaaaaaa...hnnnnn...hhhaaaaaa" The teen closes her eyes and tucks her legs up into lotus position and begins breathing deeply in an effort to regain calm. If that was just some weather-kid or something pranking his friends I am gonna be SO embarrassed...
ok...giving it more thought...
I'm thinking something more like a mix between a summoner a sorc and an oracle...
mystery and bloodline abilities from bone oracle and undead sorc, spells from both sources, and undead summon SLAs and a beefed up undead pet...
Kinda like a necromancer from EQ2...
is this over the top?
EDIT: How do we do gear?
If the story is we're gifted youngsters that are mechanicly teens level in power, it'd make sense to not have much gear...

"I find that the cafeteria is a better place to meditate. There's this one spot nobody sits in cause Jimmy rigged the ventilation system for a prank and now nobody can fix it...well, they made the stink go away, but it still blows cold air right there....anyways, that's where I go when I need some alone time. So, you know, if you..uh, need to use it sometimes...that's uh, okay with me," she finished, suddenly staring at her feet and wishing she could just stop talking.

Let's see...how do we do gear? Ummm.....mostly we make stuff up. Seriously if there's something you need for your character concept then you have it, within reason, use your good judgement. But don't worry about being tricked out. You are in a school after all. :)
As for over the top....that's what this game is for. :)
Give yourself reasonable limits, but cool factor always wins here.
Marra lets out a sigh as she opens her eyes to look at the others in the general area, she had been getting a bit of rest after working out earlier but the talking was far to frequent now for her to stay asleep. "Whats going on?" She asks as she pulls herself to her feet as she casts an annoyed look upon any in the area.
Nasima's eyes snap open. "Oh I wasn't...er..." well maybe i was meditating, good a word as any I guess that's a kind of 'deep thinking' or something i think right? "I don't wanna take your spot, I mean, that'ssuperniceofyou! Thank you! But...well if it's yours...uh...I'm Nasima by the way." Not knowing what else to do, and feeling completely stupid the whole while, 'Sima extends her hand. Shadows move on her chestnut skin like clouds over mountains, part of why she always wears sneakers, socks, pants, long-sleeve mock turtlenecks with arm warmers underneath to help cover her hands, and has her cloud-white hair in her face. Unfortunately her lineage means that various winds are constantly blowing her hair all over the place, but she can mostly keep it in her face if she concentrates.
"I'm from the Air plane." She winces. oh and that didn't sound moronic at all "I mean, not AN airplane, but the Plane of Air. Sort of an intersection of it really, but, uh, but where are you from?"
It's a common occurrence, entering an IC conversation while on the Discussion Thread. I personally don't see it as a problem, since it gives people eager to roleplay a chance to do so, without pressuring others to finish quickly.
Vakkler watches the exchange from a distance. "I aught to demand a raise..." he mutters.

It's not that. Ephebe's difficulty making friend is a bit of a plot point. Realized I needed to save this bit for the start of the game.:)

Vakkler, we have a request from someone wishing to play a janitor. You okay with going more the gamekeeper/teacher route? Don't want to step on your toes with concept. I gave a tentative okay, but I can try to steer things another direction if you object.

And that, sister dear, is where you would be wrong! The succubus I got rid of was not a student! I was simply stating that Uncle seems to just let all kinds of megalomaniacs into the school!
I know, ironic as it may be, that it is not that boring here!
Yes, Tare, but I didn't say she was a student. I was simply commenting on the fact that over the years I think one or the other of us has picked a fight with practically everything at one time or another. And admit it, you love how not boring it is here. :)
A grey-robed kobold walks in, looking down at his papers...he is followed by a slightly larger individual, wearing a hooded cloak, packed to the hilt like a mule. He mumbles to himself with a confused look on his face...then notices others around him. He strightens up a bit, clears his throat, then...
Draconic Umm...excuse me. Does anyone know where the dorms are?
