"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.

"That's part of the point I was trying to make." Atem interjected swiftly. "Don't you think the selection they drew here was a little scattershot?" Then he proceeded to explain. "If they had more time, or more control over how the summoning spell was utilized I don't think they would have chosen us at random, if it can be said that we were chosen at all. For whatever reason the magic sought us out and drew us here without much input from the caster. At least..... that's my theory at this juncture." What the green man was suggesting would have been all well and good if they had that luxury, but whose to say they did or didn't.

"There has been no offer yet, no... but they have provided us with room and board for the first few weeks," Which is something. There would be no moving either party on this subject it would seem.

"I suppose.... we'll see if the conditions change within the next few days." Since he wasn't sure if their hosts/kidnappers had something else in mind to smooth over this situation.

Aahz shook his head. "Too many variables on that. They could have a reason for picking us that we don't see. Or there could be some commonality between all of us that we're too close to the subjects, being ourselves, to ever see. Especially if there are things they missed or overlooked themselves. for example, if they had decided, and this is just an example mind you, that for some reason what will serve them best were people with more hair than sense, if they had seen me under the influence of a disguise spell and my dubious character act, I would have fit that model to a T. Seemingly. But the truth of the matter is this is who I am stripped of spells and that act. So they'd be wrong. But looking for a pattern from our level, as i have no hair at all and a fair amount of sense, that couldn't possibly be the criteria."

Yes, he did just insult you in the middle of that.

"But that's just two of the possibilities. Maybe it was gimmick magic and it is on the fritz. That is one of the concerns when you deal more with tools for magic than your own sense of the force lines. Just because the selection seems stupid is no reason to presume there was no selection in the first place. You always have to allow for the possibility that we are failing to see a pattern, or that they are simply incompetent."

"As to providing us room and board, that is no sign at all of goodwill. We're here for a reason and they need us for something. Presumably that means needing us at a certain level of readiness. Even if we're just here to be cattle. Now some people might be more positively inclined to them for providing this room and board anyway, but let me put this question to you, spiky. Would we need or appreciate that if we were free to go home?"
