"Well, there's nothing stopping you from contacting the big man himself, now is there? I though I'd mention this particular school because it's often what demons choose," he continued. "What sort of magic do you have in mind?"

Aubrey shook his head. "But I was supposed to be the wise one, the one that would find a peaceful way," he said. "I know I've said killing everything is what gives you most experience, but when you reach a certain point, you begin to care. I tried to fight it at first, but if you spend so much time with someone, you're bound to bond with them. I wouldn't be searching for a cure for the plague otherwise."

" Maybe like illusions or something...yeah just like my first master!!! Master of illusions he was. Man I had so many chances to ask how he learned such things but I guess I was too scared too." "I wish there was always a way to resolve with peace but as history has been told... that's not how you win wars. The sad reality is just that. " Liela got closer. "Sorry that probably wasn't the response you were looking for. Wish I really knew a way to make you feel better."

"Illusionists? Well, that's a tricky one," the shapeshifter explained. "There are a few teachers in the Void, but just one school and while it is free, it has a very steep learning curve, with many abandoning it after just the first month or even week."

Aubrey chose to stay silent and just looked down.

by Dogy9978 Thu Sep 22, 2016 9:02 pm

"Don't care if others thought it too hard. I can be very stubborn when I put my mind to it. Surely enough I will impress master! And it's free so why not?" Liela went and hugged Aubrey. "It'll be ok. I just don't want to see you sad. It's not a good look for you."

by Crimson Skies Thu Sep 22, 2016 9:06 pm

"Alright, if that's what you want," the shapeshifter said. "Just inform Liela or whoever before you go, if you decide to go straight away."

Aubrey looked at her. "I'll be fine; I just need some time."

by Dogy9978 Thu Sep 22, 2016 9:13 pm

"Why I'm going to learn this illusion thing so fast I'll be back in a couple days. I've seen master do it tons of times. I already have a basis." Lillith walked over to Liela. "Well you have all the time in the world. You jus-" " Sorry to interrupt but Master I'm going to leave for a little bit to go to school. Is that alright?" Liela stayed there for a moment. "Uhhhh...sure..."

by Crimson Skies Fri Sep 23, 2016 6:26 pm

Maybe Lillith expected Azzar to be present, but he was simply gone. She's gonna need his help to reach the school and whatnot, so him not being here could be kind of a problem.

by Dogy9978 Fri Sep 23, 2016 7:17 pm

"Exactly how do I get to the void from here? I can't see Azzar anywhere here?" "How am I supposed to know that?! " Liela replied

by Crimson Skies Fri Sep 23, 2016 7:29 pm

Just as he was mentioned, he reappeared. How convenient.

by Dogy9978 Fri Sep 23, 2016 7:33 pm

"Speak of the devil." Lillith went and hugged Azzar. "Oh you are here now! Thought I was going to have to go and look for you. I uh need to go to a school in the void. What was the name of it?" Lillith then looked at the Shapeshifter.

by Crimson Skies Fri Sep 23, 2016 7:49 pm

"Sorry, something big happened," Azzar explained. "My master finally decided to participate. He snapped when an entire village was plundered and everyone was killed. Took out an entire army by himself in a fit of anger. As for the school, you'll have to be a bit more specific."

by Dogy9978 Fri Sep 23, 2016 7:52 pm

Liela looked at Aubrey and then down to the ground. "Well the school is to learn illusions. That's where I wish to go."

by Crimson Skies Fri Sep 23, 2016 8:07 pm

"I can lead you there, if you'd like," Azzar said. "Never thought you'd want to study something like that."

Aubrey stood up and looked at Liela. "Well, I have to tell the other six what happened." He offered her his Book of Dungeons. "In the meantime, have a look at this, if you want. I know it by heart, so I only carry it around for reference."

by Dogy9978 Fri Sep 23, 2016 8:10 pm

"Exactly what did you think I'd want to study, Azzar?" Liela took the book. "Thanks." Then she began to flip the pages.

by Crimson Skies Fri Sep 23, 2016 8:32 pm

"Fire," he said. "Maybe water to build up some resistance." Aubrey then waved Liela goodbye and left through a portal.

His version of the book was much more in-depth and much more open in terms of access. Nothing was keeping her from going to the hardest of campaings, though the text did state that going there would be suicide. Additionally, it actually had pictures of the places in the campaigns, as well as the approximate time to complete said campaign.

by Dogy9978 Fri Sep 23, 2016 8:38 pm

"Practice water? That sounds like suicide Azzar" Lillith said crossing her arms. Liela wished she had this book. "What would be the best campaign story wise for me?" Liela asked the book.

by Crimson Skies Fri Sep 23, 2016 8:46 pm

The book turned to one of the blank pages near the beginning and words appeared, saying 'Please specify.'

"Well, it would have worked if you had a weakness to it, but what you have is complete intolerance," he said. "Why illusions, though?"

by Dogy9978 Fri Sep 23, 2016 8:56 pm

"Specify? I mean like me a level 25 leader, what campaign would be best for me?" "Complete intolerance Is right. I picked illusions because that is what my old master used to do. In all his magic shows, he'd do incredible feats of magic but it was all just cleverly thought out illusions. Even the powerful and wise wizards couldn't figure out that it was all fake. The ability to make some see things that are not there could be really helpful."

by Crimson Skies Fri Sep 23, 2016 9:03 pm

'Leader' class requires a group for all campaigns. If you no longer wish to be a leader and want to solo campaings, please change* your class and choose one that's available to you.'

The little asterisk was explained below as 'page 228'.

"I'll cover all the expenses," Azzar said. "You just worry about the studying, okay?"

by Dogy9978 Fri Sep 23, 2016 9:07 pm

Liela turned to the page. "I wonder what other classes I could be." Lillith nodes her head. "I'll make sure studying will be priority number two. That's Pretty high in my list."

by Crimson Skies Fri Sep 23, 2016 9:19 pm

The book had a bit of a problem giving her an exact role to fit, as she possesed a ranger weapon, a melee weapon and could use magic, a variant the system was no prepared for.

After a while of processing, it gave her the options of Marksman, Adventurer, Summoner and Blade-singer.

by Dogy9978 Fri Sep 23, 2016 9:26 pm

"Can I get a brief description of all those classes? Please?" Even though Liela knew what half of the classes were, she still wanted to know for sure. "Can we go now Azzar?"

by Crimson Skies Fri Sep 23, 2016 9:39 pm

'Marskman. Eliminates his opponents from afar with pinpoint accuracy. A ranged counterpart to the Assassin.

Adventurer. Jack of all trades and a master of none, what the adventurer lacks in specialization, he makes up for versatility.

Summoner. Preffering to not get up close and personal, the summoner uses minions, risen corpses or summoned creatures to do his bidding.

Blade-singer. A unique mix of magic and weaponry, these beefed up spellswords* are the bane of warriors and mages for their ability to enchant their weapons with devastating effects.

The asterisk explained spellswords as 'fighters that use both magic and weapons.'

Azzar opened a portal and stepped inside.

by Dogy9978 Fri Sep 23, 2016 9:46 pm

Lillith skipped into the portal. "Wow, blade-singer sounds so cool. I don't really know how to enchant my weapon though..."

by Crimson Skies Fri Sep 23, 2016 9:57 pm

The book responded by showing her a in depth showcase of how their powers work.

Basically, what they have are swords with runes inscribed on them, commonly called runeblades. Depending on the rune inscribed, their swords unleash the power of ice, fire and others.

Next, it gave her an easy-to-learn runeset consisting of the simplest of runes and where to get special parchment and ink needed for their application.
