Try as I might when my apprentices finish the last item at least one dies, so I elected for the ring of wizardry and 2 dying! Strangely the robe resulted in one dying but no robe! Anyhow, the survivor left saying there may be a graduation night but no details. Should I wait around as I have completed all the quests in chapters 2 and 3 except for the Rogue stone door? After the lichs I think I need a rest! If not I assume I can continue the apprentice plot when I return to the mainland? Slight spoilers only please.
