Wizard Guild Castle- General RP

[Willard]

Welcome to the official (sort of) Wizard Guild roleplaying thread. I'd like to have this thread to be only posted in by Wizard Guild members, because is a Wizard Guild RP. If you would like to join, either go to this thread and post, or PM Secretmaster!
I'll start this thing off.

Throughout the darkening forest, countless insects started chirping. Rufus the mage walked through the forest. How he loved the sights and sounds of the mysterious night -- the chorus of a thousand crickets, the fleeting fireflies, and the star-studded firmaments... Rufus had been an aspiring mage in the Wizards Clan for several years now, and he loved every moment of it -- learning new spells, teaching magelings and sharing with them the joy and wonder of magic. In particular he loved spells that dealt with the workings of light, and had now become more adept at spells of this variety than anyone else in the Clan except the High Mages and Archmages. The High Mages and Archmages always struck Rufus as a boring, tiresome lot -- could never talk about anything else besides discipline, discipline, discipline and rules, rules, rules. How utterly dreadful. But it was night now, and he had finished his work tutoring the magelings. Time for a bit of fun now! Rufus decided to try the Make Things Glow with Light spell which he had learned recently. Spotting some small shrubs with violet flowers nearby, Rufus walked to them and touched them gently while whispering an incantation. At once the shrubs began to glow with a soft green light, their flowers glowing violet. Overjoyed, Rufus proceeded to cast the same spell on every shrub and bush he could lay his hands on in the area; soon, the whole place became like an enchanted forest, all the plants and flowers lighting up in the darkness...

The sight he then saw was a very spectacular one indeed. The whole western forest looked like it was aflame! Willard cast a "Cloak of Night" spell to estinguish it, but just as it did Rufus came running. "What in the nine hells did you do that for!?" he yelled. "I spent quite a long time lighting that up you know! Just because you're a boring old kook doesn't mean that you can wreck everyone else's fun!" "Old!? Old!??? I'm only 97, for crying out loud!" replied Willard. "I was sound asleep, and I thought the woods were on fire. So sue me." The elven mage turned and left. "Just try to get some sleep, Rufus. You know that the tournament's tomorrow," he said.

(Oh, BTW, the tournament has been cancelled due to technical dificulty. This is just a roleplaying thread for Wizard guild members. Don't forget to post! (like you did last time!!!)

Here is a description of the Wizard Clan Estate (as posted by Secretmaster):

The Wizards Clan

The Wizards Clan is a Clan for all Mages and Magic users. It is a land with 75 acres or rolling land, forests, and Castles and homes. The Main Keep is a 10 Acre Keep, with a Magical Garden, and magical fountains that replenish your health, fatigue, and magic. The actuall keep consists of 8 floors with a basic layout and 3 basements. The first floor is the Keep Information where you register, and learn everything it the Clan does. It also has a museum of Magic.

The Second Floor

The Second Floor is the Dining Area. It includes a bar, A mess hall, and an elegant dining area.

The Third Floor

Next we have the third floor. This is the Spa and relaxation area. It consists of a huge pool to swim in, a nice jacuzzi, a tropical fruit stand, and all of those other goodies.

The Fourth Floor

After the third, the fourth comes (obviously). The Fourth is a huge library, with access to every magical scroll, book, anything. There are two sections. The open section which has pretty much everything, and the Restricted Section. The Restricted Section has Scrolls of old divine magic that dates back to the beginning of this plane. It is very powerful magic, that very few get to learn. It also contains powerful necromancy and demonic magic.

The Fifth Floor

The Fifth floor is perhaps the busiest, and most costly floor. The whole fifth floor is where mages (apprentices and adepts alike) go to train. There are so many varieties of practicing. You can use a dummy, go to a summoning room where the monster of your choice is spawned, a dualing arena and even an obstacle course, where you can use your spells to get your way through.

The Sixth Floor

The sixth floor is the bestiary, where you find all sorts of magical beasts to learn about. No chemical experiments are used on these, but they are used for study. You can learn about their habitat, diet, anything.

Seventh Floor& Eighth Floor

The seventh and eighth floors are the bunkers. You have the choice to have your own private room, or share a room with a buddy. The Eight Floor contains the best rooms, where you have to pay a rent of 1200 gp a day. The Eighth Floor is really not a floor, but a floating building with lodging. It gives you an excellent view of most of the property. There is also an outside deck where you can go to observe the land with the latest gnomish telescope, and you can't fall off!

Basements 1&2

This is storage for everything we have, food, dummies, cages, ingredients, anything. You may also store your own stuff.

I really don't think even the best five-star hotels of today would charge say one-fifth of that amount, Willard.

[Willard]

Hey, that's Secretmaster's idea, not mine! Maybe he should tune it down to, maybe, 500 a week?

Okay, my mistake. Thought it was your idea. Yeah, 500 a week would sound more credible, though it would still have to be a pretty high-class five-star hotel room to cost that much. Hey, even a fantasy world needs to sound and feel credible, right?

Bump

[Willard]

come on people! Post! Oh well, I'll start this off by myself then.......

The Next Morning...

"WHAT!!!??" Willard said. What do you mean, it's cancelled?

"That's right," answered Secretmaster. "I decided to call the tournament off because of..... problems."

"What kinds of problems?" Willard asked.

"Well, as you know, we were going to use the Fifth floor as the arena. Our most powerful mages had temporarily enlarged it for the battle. When they came back, they found..... some disturbances."

"Just get to the point," the elven Planar Destroyer complained.

"Very well. The enlargement of the fifth floor not only enlarged the area... it enlarged some of the pests as well. We're talking giant rats, beetles, and spiders. The fourth and sixth floors have been blocked off, ('That's why I couldn't get to the bathroom!' Willard exclaimed) and some of our more powerful wizards are doing all they can do to keep the monsters under control. They-"

Suddenly, a huge explosion ruptured the keep. Secretmaster and Wilard quickly went in to investigate.

[SecretMaster]

Hey, I changed the price as you suggested. Can't talk long, i'm grounded but I get an hr to go online.

SecretMaster and Willard ran to the keep, and went to the 4th floor. The whole library was a mess, bookcases turned over, pages flying. And who was to blame? 10 huge Vampiric Wolves. Leading them was an overgrown Ogre Magi, setting books on fire. In the corner were some Centaurs holding some mages. "Good gods! This is a mess. We have to kill them all. And I'm sure some have escaped." Just then, several other mages came, and also saw the carnage. "Come men, let us go and destroy the creatures. They are beyond restoring, we must kill all of them now!" SecretMaster drew out his sword, while the mages started chanting.

[TheGrandSlayer]

G.S. readied a card "I summon you,CELTIC GAURDIAN!" an big elf appears infront of G.S. "Attack centaur one!" the gaurdian draws a huge two handed blade and shoves it into the centaur stomach,freeing some Magi,and then jumps back to G.S.

[SecretMaster]

The creatures were easily falling, with the help of the other Wizards. SecretMaster yelled out,"You guys can finish the rest, we'll go up and destroy the root of the problem." Willard, SecretMaster, and G.S. run up to the next floor...
