"Aha! Let me see if I can puzzle this out."

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

"That is an interesting application, especially with the right placement."

"Welcome! We had got to talking about the advancement of magic and the annoyances of politics, so it seemed a fine time to forget about the second by a practical exercise of the first. Would you like to try your hand?"

Yellowstone makes sure to place his marker at least 20 feet from anyone else

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11
Linguistics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

"A wizard may be in dire peril if his brutish enemy threatens to step forth and beat his learned face in, before he can unleash magic!"
A tremor runs through the ground as crazy ridges and humps form, radiating from Yellowstone's feet. He steps back deftly among the slopes and shifting footing

"And if he's still standing..."
Yellowstone speaks a rapid word and fires a stream of white mist from one finger, much like Cathran's
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
1d3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

"Do they have some of those stone road markers for practice? What's your preference, good sir? Ten, thirty or a hundred feet? I'll put mine at ten."

"On the whole I think that's right. A small and focused group, well supported, can make progress where a great hierarchy flounders every which way. The Pathfinders work at their best, I think, when we act as interested individuals."

"It's not difficult for those who have wealth and position to take offense," Yellowstone admits, "My attempts to represent the Society have been very modestly successful. Luckily, before too long, those occasions called for evocation spells again."

"So have you planned how you'll spend your retirement?"

"Yes, let's speak of the injustices done to you somewhere out of this wind. One of the training halls should be cozy."

Diplomacy: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (15) - 1 = 14

Er, circumstance bonus?

"A derivative school that adds little to what Evocation can accomplish, with a trip to the market. Some have said .. a lazy method. Though I must admit they have some useful ways to get around. Let them stick to transportation!"

"Evocation, you say?"

A short and rotund person in a slightly silly-looking formal outfit edges around the elder's field of fire and sits next to him on the steps. His rough, scoria-like black skin marks an obviously nonhuman ancestry.

"Without doubt, one of the fundamental studies of the magical art, and in my humble opinion, among the most fascinating. What objection could the scholars of Absalom have to such a practice?"

Truly, the sensation of the burning force channelled through fragile consciousness, like a dark lava surging through strata of stone, brings a joy nearly indescribable. I wonder if our predecessor felt such and if it guided her to delve her great capital within rock, and to seek alliance with that which dwells deep within the earth.

How fitting that so many of the Society's endeavours confront the foul undead, the fiendish and the verminous, which we may justly bathe in the many-coloured energies of our glorious works, and not burden ourselves with the pain of fellow mortals. Which no doubt we should regret. Even if they were bad and probably deserved it.

A day full of interest! Our gracious host asks our assistance to unravel the secrets of a Jistkan relic that has come into her possession. There has been some disturbance, but surely this is within the skill of a scholarly group dedicated, as we are, to delve into the perils and wonders of ancient magics.

Honour and respect to they who seek knowledge with a pure heart.

For the first time I have visited Varisia, the land where all our thoughts turn. Such beautiful vistas and such haunting echoes of the secrets of the past. Seven paths of magic, seven words from the depths of time. An artist in Kaer Maga has found a way to inscribe the traditional tattoos on my less than traditional substance. Soon, I think, their power begins to awaken in me.
