Lang looks back at Sun
Oh I am sorry, Ignace, This is Sun Wukong, he is my friend and my counselor while I'm away from home attending school here
Sun sit up straight.
probably the first time since he came here Sun looks nicely groom. his white fur straight and neat and clean.
He presents himself as best any well behaved intelligent baboon would.
Well ask her..
Sun reminds Lang of the agreement he made with Sun.
"And I, for one, wouldn't have you any other way." Vai finishes Raelle's thought with a smile. "And it's not like my side of the family is normal, even for dragons. I don't need to go down the list do I? Would it make you feel better?" Vai says with a sly grin.Raelle shrugged. "I know my family isn't like that. But everyone had to be careful after Ignace's...accident. She still doesn't deal with fire well. And I can barely conjure up a spark. Chara likes to play with fire like that, but she only does it when she thinks no one is looking."
"We are quite probably the most messed up family of firebirds ever."
Raelle giggled. "No, that's okay. We're all just one big happy messed up family."
"It gets extra challenging sometimes with the other firebirds. But hopefully with classes starting they'll be busy with more important things than tormenting me."
"Do I need to crush someone?" Vai said, mimicking what her older brother had said earlier. She's only half-joking.
Ignace took the flower gingerly and admired it, bringing it to her nose to smell it. It was a very beautiful flower. But why was he giving her a flower? Was this supposed to be a .... a courtship gesture? But she was too young for that. Wasn't she? She suddenly felt rather nervous. And what was she supposed to do with the flower now anyways?
"Thank you for the flower," she said solemnly. "It is very beautiful."
She looked at the pod with interest when he showed it to her.
When he introduced her to Sun she felt like she was finally back on familiar ground. Introductions she knew how to handle. She gave a polite curtsy.
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Sun Wukong."
"Do I need to crush someone?" Vai said, mimicking what her older brother had said earlier. She's only half-joking.
"No," Raelle laughed. "I need to learn to deal with these guys myself. It's mostly just posturing. Really, really irritating posturing."

Sun was was wondering if he could join us there is room in the pod thingy but told him only if you said ok
Lang looks back at Sun and whispers see I asked
"Maybe they actually like you a lot," Vai whispered conspiratorially, "But they don't know how to deal with it, so they pester you instead. Boys get some thick-headed ideas sometimes."
Sun just look at her with the cutest sad face he can muster attempting to mimic a puppy dog begging to be adopted.

Ignace smiled. If Sun was going to be there it wasn't really a date date. And that made her a lot less nervous.
"I would be happy if you would join us for the concert, Mr. Wukong. Or would you prefer it if I called you Mr. Sun?"
"Maybe they actually like you a lot," Vai whispered conspiratorially, "But they don't know how to deal with it, so they pester you instead. Boys get some thick-headed ideas sometimes."
Raelle nearly fell over laughing. "Oh, my gosh....that would just be priceless."
"And they'd never ever be able to admit to liking a smoke mage. It's just not done," she said, wiping away tears of laughter.
Not sure how to read Ignace's responce he starts looking to find the right thing to say.
she is pretty, I do like her, how do I talk to her. Man I wish i knew what to say and do. Does she like me? probably not
Oh crap, can she read minds? seems everyone I've met can read minds, ahhh... Hi Ignace, can you read minds?
while she decides to let Sun comes along
I thought that the flower would help inspire you for a new design. see I think it matches the sequin
looking at the colors, they may match to an untrained eye but anyone with some real fashion sense would probably never combine such colors
Sun smiled and hopped into the pod.
well lets go I haven't got all night
And you can just call me Sun, everyone else does, I'd offer you some candy but somebody threw it in the lake
Sun indicates Lang
A tall, muscular man in dirty robes approaches the gates of the school.
"This must be the place. It doesn't look so much unlike a temple, although it is a bit fancy for my tastes. I must approach the master teacher" he said, proceeding further.
He circled the main building, taking in the sights while giving everything a wide berth. A lake, a garden, the place certainly wasn't an eyesore.
He entered the main building, looking for indications of where the master teacher would be. A set of arrows appeared in front of him.
Fortuitous, he thought, following the arrows.
Sun just look at her with the cutest sad face he can muster attempting to mimic a puppy dog begging to be adopted.
Ignace smiled. If Sun was going to be there it wasn't really a date date. And that made her a lot less nervous.
"I would be happy if you would join us for the concert, Mr. Wukong. Or would you prefer it if I called you Mr. Sun?"
when Ignace smiled Lang smiled as well. He seemed glad to see her smile.
maybe its the first step toward trusting me
Vai couldn't help having a few giggles herself. The idea that the pompous Firebirds were head over heels was too much. She tries, somewhat unsuccessfully, to calm down and adopt a bad impression of one of them. "Oh, Raelle," she begins haughtily, "your smokiness is so strangely attractive. I cannot *snrk* contain myself!" This time Vai was the one to burst out laughing, barely able to finish the terrible impression.
"It would be a very...ummm....bold choice to combine those particular colors," she said diplomatically. "Not very easy to pull off."
She looked confused at Sun's comment about the candy. "That is quite alright, Mr. Sun. I rarely indulge in sweets," she said primly.

Raelle had to stop walking and lean against a fencepost for support as she was laughing too hard to breathe let alone stand up.
::I think it needs just a touch more pompousness.:: ;P
Lang offers to help her to her seat in the pod then takes his own seat.
He shows her about the refreshments
Here is the drinks if you get thirsty and this pod is also loaded with snacks. he push some button and some popcorn comes out See, isn't this great?
He soon remembers what she just said about snacks
Oh, I'm sorry you don't like sweets Lang hads the popcorn to Sun. Looking disappointed at himself for not remembering what she just said.
before we go, are you afraid of heights or flying? I forgot to ask because I was going to have this pod hover over the audience for a balcony style seat to see and hear everything. I think Rosa may have given an option for others to be able to see us but I turned it off unless you want it on.
"I think *gasp* I think I'm at my pompousness *wheeze* limit." Vai responded between breaths for air. Her sides were hurting from all the laughing.
Ace looks unsure "I'm not sure what exactly a soul vampire is, but I am guessing that instead of feeding on blood, you feed on souls. Succubi don't actually feed on them, as far as I know. Hopefully I can find out more when I can devote some serious time to research. I'd do it tonight, but I want to help Tyrrin with her telescope, as I love looking at the stars. Did you know on Eberron we have twelve moons? Its really phenomenal, especially when you can see a few more than normal. I also want to find out if I can see our draconic constellations here. Its one of the things I miss the most from home. Hopefully I can make the concert too, as I don't know when Tyrrin wanted to meet. Will you continue to keep me company? Please?" He says with a smile.

As the fourth blow is about to land, it stops just short as four crossed luminescent greenish red swords appear out of no where and block the blow. Gavin stirs, and as he rises a form takes shape around his body, a large bipedal reptilian creature with four arms getting up from a kneel. The entire creature is the same greenish red, but slightly translucent, with an unconscious Gavin at it's core.
It's about 9 and ahalf feet tall, with a long sinuous tail, and what part of it's armor you can make out seem like very functional laminate.
It's eyes are simply pools of the deepest green with a slight glow to them, and they are fully focused on the cat in front of it. With it's swords crossed it attempts to push the creature back away as it attempts to stand...
It hisses as it's pushing the creature back "Thiss one iss under my protection...sstand down or face oblivion."
A small figure comes rushing out of the overgrown garden, "HELP, SOMEBODY, HELP ME," it screams, seemingly afraid of something.

What the? Lang whispers i don't have time for this.
Lang looks to see who or what is running.
then looks to Ignace he gives a sigh
Ignace? Sun? what should I do I don't want to be late for the show
maybe its something simple I could just help and then be on our way
Sun looks to Lang
just don't take long I want to see this show!
Sun yells out of the pod
Lang goes to intercept the person running and supposdly being chased
Hold it, what seems to be the problem?
She looks around for anyone willing to help.
Ehos smiled with a twinkle in his eye. Anahita's wonder at even the smallest thing would cheer even the darkest mood wouldn't it? Ehos deposits his tray in the receptacle, and makes his way out of the cafeteria, touching a wall on the way out, thinking of the Professor Sunwake. The arrows light up, and the pair follow them through the school.
Anahita will follow along with Ehos, she hasn't appeared to have any reason to abandon or part his company before, she's proving that again. She does, however, follow suite and drop the trash off into the appropriate receptacles.
"So who is this Professor we are venturing to see? What subjects are taught by he or she?"
As they walk out of the cafeteria, she does venture to peek back at the kobold, with the same curiosity on her features. Something about him was definitely making her curious.

knowledge nature 1d20 + 16 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 16 + 3 + 1 = 28
casting greater bull'str, greater bear's endurance, greater cat's grace.
As you look on you see the trolls are running in 4 groups of 5
each with a mountain Troll leading a group. They seem to have some kind of uniform on, Helmets and Armor of green, they have long maces and what look to be shields on there backs. 2 of the groups seem to be carrying some large cylinder objects, when the get with in half a mile the peale off stop and start erecting the Cylinders. The other 2 groups pull off there shields and brandish there maces.Behind you the temple bell rings and you see human monks run around putting shutters over doors and windows.
As you the trolls seem intent on the Temple as the get close the split left and right, looking to flank the defenders.
Unless you act ->
Then the two teams with Cylinders open up, there its a dull thud sound and a scream as some thing falls and behind you part of the temple wall explodes.
If you do act before then, well me what you wish to do.
He says with a smile.
Just then Starlight zooms up to ace,
"Ok I'm ready who's else is coming to the show with us?"
casting summon nature's ally 7 to bring large fire elementals, then advancing with all of them and tiger
casting summon nature's ally 7 to bring 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 large fire elementals, then advancing with all of them and tiger
As soon as you do that they spot you some 400' from them,
at 45D to left and right of you is the two front groups some 700' from you in front is the two groups firing on the temple.on of the leader trolls calls back to the fring one and you start taking incoming, The blasts are area affect and will harm the Fire Elementals on a hit. Area is some 60'
To attacks from that.

by 2 10' ans so on until missed by 6.
A hit is 12D6 -2d6 each increment out

Spell Chack to know the spell they just put up.
After dropping his fabrics off in his room Tybalt finds his way to the newly added concert hall. "Ooh big piano!" After a quick look around to make sure no one official was on the stage, Tybalt flashes onto the stage and begins to play the four chords most people would recognize as the baseline to Journey's Don't Stop Believing which are actually applicable to nearly every pop song ever.
Dave makes it in time to see Kiara scream for help, he lands right beside her. "Is there a problem miss" as she looks at him Dave looks down and hastily reapplies his illusion.
Anahita will follow along with Ehos, she hasn't appeared to have any reason to abandon or part his company before, she's proving that again. She does, however, follow suite and drop the trash off into the appropriate receptacles.
"So who is this Professor we are venturing to see? What subjects are taught by he or she?"
As they walk out of the cafeteria, she does venture to peek back at the kobold, with the same curiosity on her features. Something about him was definitely making her curious.
'Her name is Professor Aananda Sunwake. She used to teach the Physical Education class, but she currently manages the security of the school, and has many projects beside. She's also a dragon.' Ehos tries to write that last part as non-chalantly as possible.
"They're after me," she said in a panicked voice, "The orcs and their vile cleric!"

"Of course I'm not afraid of flying," she said, a touch indignantly. "I'm a bird."
"Oh," she says, surprised and concerned when someone started yelling for help. "Yes, of course, go see what's wrong. That's much more important than the show!"
Ace looks unsure "I'm not sure what exactly a soul vampire is, but I am guessing that instead of feeding on blood, you feed on souls. Succubi don't actually feed on them, as far as I know.

"Well, alright, since you ask so nicely," she conceded, smiling. "But if you're not going to the concert I'm bailing on you, at least for a bit. I already promised the girls to meet them there."
"I think *gasp* I think I'm at my pompousness *wheeze* limit." Vai responded between breaths for air. Her sides were hurting from all the laughing.
Eventually they were both able to get a hold of themselves, although it was difficult since every time Raelle would stop laughing she'd look at Vai and start all over again and vice versa.
"Alright," she gasped. "We'd better get going. I don't want to miss that concert."
Ehos knocks sharply on the door three times, knowing that if he wasn't cleared to get in, the scanpad wouldn't work for him.
Fortuitous, he thought, following the arrows.
The arrows don't lead Andal far before stopping at a door labeled "Headmaster's Office".

"Alright," she gasped. "We'd better get going. I don't want to miss that concert."
"You're right." Vai said, taking deep breaths to keep from bursting out laughing again. "I totally didn't finish lunch so I'm gonna get some more food, and I still need to make sure my harness is all set. I might be back in time to catch the tail end of Fieri's concert, but if not tell her I said sorry, kay?."
"They're after me," she said in a panicked voice, "The orcs and their vile cleric!"
Dave looks to where she came from and gathers a ball of fire in his hand "why, and where" ::Skeets, problem, conflict highly probable, come now, I'm here:: he then gives a telepathic pulse for him to home in on ::what's your ETA::
::I'm on my way, I just finished and was on rout to the concert, I'll be there in under 5 minutes, 2, maybe less if I hurry::
::hurry::
