"You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality."

I. Exploring Main Street! Take a trip through a little town taken straight from 1890's America. Visit the shops, dine at the restaurants- but don't forget you are here on a mission. As an Apprentice, you will need to gather some supplies. A weapon, or tool for producing magic.

But we understand if that corn dog cart on Market Street is your first stop.

II. Apprentice Class 101! Practice your spell casting and weaponship on the open commons behind the Firehouse. Sparring, casting or just general confusion abound here. Try not to hit anything or...anyone, the paint on the infirmary is still drying.

III. Look out! A level 2 corroded monster has managed to get onto Main Street! Protect the citizens and defeat the cur, and please watch the damage, the paint is still wet!

IV. One Little Spark! Go ahead, show us the strength of your imagination and come up with your own scenarios. Just, stay out of the Corroded Lands...if possible.

The snake lets out some cross between a chuckle and a hiss, and starts to slither closer ... but Lydia can imagine what it would look like if the ground started to turn to sludge, even as pavement. She's pursing her lips with the effort of trying to picture a puddle that's still effective enough to trap the snake, but safe for them to be near, squinting a little at the ground.

"Do you think it's working?"

She hadn't really thought about the implications of imagining a snake based on someone clever and conniving. Malcolm may have a decent fight on his hands, if he can't talk her into reining in her illusion.

Malcolm is used to being able to think and control at the same time and he focuses on the monster which hisses at him and starts to try and go around the quicksand. "It's going around imagine it bigger or I might have to break the link to deal with it myself."

[strangeandunusual]

Lydia's eyes widen. "You want the snake bigger?!"

[welldressedevil]

"The quicksand," he calls out, "make it bigger and deeper." His hand tightens on his sword hilt and his body leans forward as he pours more of his control and power into his mind trying to keep things under control.

[strangeandunusual]

"Oh! Yeah, okay." She notices that he seems to be exerting a little more of himself now, and redoubles her own efforts, spreading the quicksand as far as she can without endangering them both. If only, she thinks, there were some way to make it safe - of course!

She closes her eyes, pulling together all of her focus, and a boardwalk of planks springs up underfoot - enough to allow them safe passage over the quicksand while still giving him striking access to the snake. This way, she can make it as big as it needs to be. Secure in her footing, and in knowing they're safe, she starts working on imagining deeper sand.
