Session 31

After meeting a few students at breakfast, Suchtige (a celestial student), Bechilda Schreiner (a beasts student) and Ysambart (a fire student); Ava sets out for her first class. There she meets with the professor Marianne Bedien, a fire wizard. She helps Ava learn her first Arcane spell by smashing a suit of armour. Then instructs her to study quietly with the other students that are not taking part in the Black Pool Illuminations. She speaks to Felix Zweistein and Dorothie Hupstet, two students who are struggling with finding their wind. After class and at lunch she decides to conjour up a study group. Suchtige, Bechilda and Ysambart all invite her out to drinks at The Scholars. Ava plans to make it after her study group and starts approaching students. She asks Felix and Dorothie as well as Gosbert Weinhandler and Kastor Strohmann, two death students whom Ava hopes will help her progress. She is approached by another student by the name of Waldor Eichersmann, he immediately begins asking her questions. He is a grey wizard and remembers that Arnfried warned her about that order.

Meanwhile in the city, Kaspar attempts to catch some rats while Seigbert busks only to have his coin stolen from him. Seigward then acts as Seigberts body guard and the two make some pennies within the hour, enough for some ales and food. Herbert gets hopelessly lost in the city, is almost arrested by the guards for bothering the citizens before finding his way back. Seigbert, Herbert and Kaspar then take part in the archery competition. They start chatting to various individuals such as Willibald Sessler, a hunter in Bergburg. When Seigbert and Herbert start doing exceptionally well they begin to chat with the current champion, Master of the Hunt, Allavandrel Fanmaris. Allavandrel admires the two and offers some advice for Seigbert to stand up straight, not realising the bounty hunter has a badly torn muscle.

The two do exceptionally well with Seigbert coming 5th and Herbert coming 10th.
