Curriculum of Chaos / The Story So Far

ARC 1 - CAMPUS KERFUFFLE

SESSION 1 - ORIENTATION CHALLENGE (UNDATED)

A new semester is in full swing at Deroulex's Select Conservatory of the Arcane, and all of the first years have been summoned to the Biblioplex for their Orientation! In order to make it more fun and interactive, students have been tasked with a Scavenger Hunt throughout the Central Campus's magnum opus, where twists and turns await!

Group 1: Rio Saoirse, Lardriira'xyra Nallisoth, Dorian Lisette, Grimmwood drifting by Jormungandr (Played on 11/23)

Group 2: Ambiance Faira, Blova Holyspell, Elian Benemagica, Jalivia de Vaironne (Played on 12/05)

Group 3: Bellow d'Avalon, Astrid Berge, Eris Kalastrope, Strigas Zavebeck, Cassi Sonyore (Played on 12/17)

Present NPCs: Grayson Wildemere, Melwythorne, Larine Arneza, Quentillius Antiphiun Melentor III, Cadoras Damellawar, Rosimyffenbip Wuzzfeddlims, Shuvadri Glintmantle, Tilana Kapule, Rubina Larkingdale, Nora Ann Wu, Urzmatok Grojsh, Mina Lee, Drazhomir Yarnask

Though played separately, all three groups were each part of a separate team during the Scavenger Hunt, trying to solve a list of five clues and claim the rewards therewithin, giving them a fun and effective tour of the Biblioplex. The first clue took them to the Snarl in the center of the Hall of Oracles, where if they stepped inside, they would receive a Potion of Healing from whatever cosmic being lies within. The second clue took them to the Student Art Gallery, where a painting of Prismari Alumni housed Deroulex Penants of the six Deroulex colleges. The third clue took them to the Biblioplex Cafe, where students who were adept enough at stocking bottles of creamer could receive Bottles of Boundless Coffee for their efforts. The fourth clue took them to the various Animated Shrubs around the Biblioplex, which, when pet, revealed Cuddly Deroulex Mascots that they could keep. The final clue took them to the Stage Setup behind the Snarl, which, when a performance was done, summoned hooded lanterns and oil within the spotlights. The leaderboard for the scavenger hunt is as follows:

1st Place: Ambiance, Blova, Elian, Jalivia

2nd Place: Rio, Lardriira'xyra, Dorian, Grimmwood

3rd Place: Bellow, Eris, Astrid, Strigas, Cassi

However, the mood of the Scavenger Hunt quickly turned sour when screams began to erupt from the Biblioplex, as people ran in a panic from three Costume Trunks from the Rose Stage suddenly grew teeth and began to attack the students. Many of the students sustained injuries, some even dying, but with help from the medical staff and the students who stepped up to fight the mimic-chests, there were no permanent damages.

After the incident, many of the students regrouped outside of the Biblioplex in order to get their facts straight and to check up on people who they care about. Some notable interactions can be found below:

SESSION 2 - FROG'S THE WORD (12/22)

After settling in, the party has been invited to the Firejolt Cafe by some friends in order to kick back, relax, and do what all college students do...steal frogs from Witherbloom College, race them across the table, and bet on the winners! However, after the events at orientation last month, some students are a little on edge for what could go wrong.

Players: Ambiance Faira, Echo, Onyx Spark, Leofaun, Leonard Valebright, Grimmwood drifting by Jormungandr

Present NPCs: Zanther Bowen, Greta Gorunn, Quentillius Antiphiun Melentor III, Aurora Luna Wynterstarr, Mina Lee, Bhedum "Rampart" Soovij

On All Hallow's Eve, the party noticed Aurora, Greta, Rampart, Zanther, and Quentillius (referred to as the Frog Racers) creeping into the Firejolt Cafe, giggling amongst themselves, and decided to follow to make sure they weren't up to no good. What they found, instead, was that the Frog Racers had stolen 10 Frog Familiars with Melwythorne's help, dressed them up in little costumes provided by Grayson, and were racing them in the hallway in the back of Firejolt Cafe. The names of the frogs were as follows:

• Pirate Frog (Coached by Zanther Bowen)
• Angel Frog (Coached by Greta Gorunn)
• Witch Frog (Coached by Echo)
• Devil Frog (Coached by Leonard Valebright)
• Slutty Frog (Coached by Leofaun)
• Political Commentary Frog (Coached by Quentillius Antiphiun Melentor III)
• Terrifying Creature Frog (Coached by Aurora Luna Wynterstarr)
• Fairy Frog (Coached by Ambiance Faira)
• Frog Frog (Coached by Onyx Spark)
• Inflatable Dino Suit Frog (Coached by Grimmwood drifting by Jormungandr)

The race was intense, but in the end, the victor was...Inflatable Dino Suit Frog! Grimmwood won 30 gold and Bragging Rights for the next month. The party then had some free time (notable interactions below:)

Leofaun talked to Quentillius, and apologizing for accidentally sabotaging his frog's race in the finale with Callindro. Quentillius was not that upset, saying that "even if I put money into this, it's just a frog race. It doesn't mean anything, I don't need to try."

Echo talked to Zanther, and the two of them had a heart-to-heart about their hobbies, Zanther talking about the Cheer Squad, and Echo talking about horticulture.

Grimmwood shared their poetry with Greta, who expressed gratefulness that Grimmwood was getting involved in school activities and agreed to get off of his back.

Ambi talked with Rampart, who was remorseful that they drank so much the night before an exam, and was hopeful that they wouldn't break their promise to Grimmwood and that they could study together.

However, the Hallow Festivities were quickly dashed when the final four frogs began to...gag. Quickly, their eyes glowed a demonic red, and they grew in size, appearing to puke up fruit punch and grow into slaadi-frogs. With most of the cafe out of commission due to alcohol-related choices, the party was forced to take them on. They decided to split their focus against the frogs, which led to many of the party sustaining pretty heavy injuries, as two of the frogs tag-team Grimmwood and a third swallows up Echo. Leofaun proves to be quite an adept commander, taking out a frog with Callindro's help, which frees Echo and allows them to Thunderwave another frog to death. Grimmwood was able to make short work of the third soon after, and Leonard took great pleasure out of taking down the fourth. Afterwards, the party had some time to investigate, granting them some further clues into their investigation. The journey continues...

SESSION 3 - KICKSTARTER (No, really. Kick the starter.) (1/01)

Having been discharged from the Infirmary, Grayson Wildemere is finally ready to get his business plans up and running, and has found a suitable partner to create the potions he wants to sell at last! Only problem...that student, Urzmatok Grojsh, is all out of alchemical starter after it was stolen by something leaving behind a mysterious trail.

Players: Lardriira'xyra Nallisoth, Bellow d'Avalon, Tyran Harlow, Astrid Berge, Rio Saoirse, Axolotl Orvon

Present NPCs: Grayson Wildemere, Urzmatok Grojsh, Rosimyffenbip Wuzzfeddlims, Cadoras Damellawar, Nora Ann Wu, Quentillius Antiphiun Melentor III, Rubina Larkingdale, Javenesh Stoutclaw, Melwythorne, Tilana Kapule

The party finds groups of students hanging out in the Archway Commons, seemingly confused, as their possessions have been snatched up by something leaving behind a trace of orange jelly. Most troubling of these groups is Grayson and Urzmatok, who are trying to open a potion shop for students, but have lost all their supplies. Astrid recruits Melwythorne, and Rio and Lardriira'xyra recruit Cadoras, who, with Bellow, Axolotl, Tyran, Grayson, and Urzmatok, begin to follow the slime trail at Bellow's impulsive request. The party gets a little bit stumped when the trail seemingly disappears into the swamp of Witherbloom College. By regrouping and sharing what they know, Lardriira'xyra and Cadoras are able to conclude that it's an Amber Ooze, and with Bellow's insight into monsters, they realize that the Amber Ooze is stealing inanimate objects and nesting in Widdershins Hall. They chase it into a classroom, where Tyran is jumped and engulfed by the ooze catching him off guard. The party manages to fight it off, and recovers the objects, returning them to the students. Urzmatok and Grayson give everyone present a discount to the potions shop, and the party did some investigating before returning back to their normal lives Some notable friendship moments can be found below:

Axolotl threw herself at Melwythorne's feet to apologize for hurting them, which Melwythorne really did not care about. She offered to serve him, to which Melwythorne said "You don't have to, but you can help me find my Silkball" to which Axolotl accepted.

SESSION 4 - WORK HARD, PLAY HARDER (1/07)

With the first round of exams just behind them, and the second round coming up, some fellow students have invited the party to a small little mixer inside of Bow's End Tavern. The only problem - primarily being first years, the party is going to need to find a way to sneak in, maximize this rare social opportunity, and then get out without getting in trouble!

Players: Jalivia de Vaironne, Blova Holyspell, Astrid Berge, Bellow d'Avalon, Rio Saoirse, Lardriira'xyra Nallisoth

Present NPCs: Javenesh Stoutclaw, Drazhomir Yarnask, Nora Ann Wu, Mina Lee, Urzmatok Grojsh, Cadoras Damellawar, Bhedum "Rampart" Soovij

SESSION 5 - THE OLD GUARD ANEW (1/13)

Dean Augustus Tullus has just come back from a new expedition, providing the Dragonsguard Historical Society with new relics to put on display, and Rampart is on cataloguing duty! Being a little rebellious and VERY excited to show off the new relics, they’ve invited the party for a sneak peak into the new wares.

Players: Blova Holyspell, Onyx Spark, Leofaun, Leonard Valebright, Grimwood drifting by Jormungandr, Tyran Harlow

SESSION 6 - CAMPUS DAREDEVILS (1/23)

The title of “Coolest New Kid” is still up for grabs, and some daredevilry is still afoot among the new first students. They seek to stake their claim over the undisputed rebel-kid ground on Central Campus - Captain Dapplewing’s manor. Anyone who can get inside the highly-guarded house is welcome to the party that awaits them inside!

SESSION 7 - ALL THE WORLD'S A STAGE (1/27)

The annual Rose Stage Festival is in full swing, inviting performers and non-performers alike to take part in the theatrical festivities! There are many tasks to do, and many people to talk to, so an opportunity to mix and become closer with your fellow students and teachers is ALWAYS welcome.

SESSION 8 - GRADUATION: SECRETS IN SEDGEMOOR (2/06)

Two teachers have now asked you to investigate the bayou surrounding Witherbloom Campus known as Sedgemoor Swamp. Whether the reason is pragmatic or born of laziness, they’ve pulled strings to give you a very open opportunity to investigate the swamps to your heart’s content to unravel the secrets of this school.

SPECIAL SESSIONS

The following sessions were run outside of the standard flow of the campaign, and includes things like Downtime Side Quests and RP Events that do not contribute as heavily to the main story as the standard sessions, but are still important in their own rights!

PARALOGUE 1 - ARMS EMBARGO

The Wuzzfeddlims guild won’t give into the Damellawar guild’s demands for equitable trade, saying that they will only share their crafting gear if bested in combat! Both Cadoras and Rosie call upon the party to join their side in the fight, as history (and the fate of the two shops) hangs in the hands of the winner!

Contributing Players: Grimmwood, Jalivia
