Adventure Premise
- In the last year, King Antonino Esposito of Tiialia has put massive funding towards reopening White Grove as an independent magical institution. For the first time in over two centuries, admission is available to anyone with magical abilities—not just those training to become Tiialan artillery mages.
- Arctur Execlostrabaum, the highly eccentric Tiialan archmage, has been chosen as the headmaster of the school. It goes without saying that his highly progressive mindset has been a topic of discussion amongst conservative Tiialans. He believes magic is a staple of the world, to be shared with all peoples whether north, south, above, or even below…
- We begin our adventure a few weeks into the first semester of your freshman year at the White Grove magic academy.
- You are in the midst of preparing for your first Intro to Infernal exam, a class taught by the Grove’s newest professor—Daemon Darkfyre.
Outcomes
- After surviving a sabotaged magical staircase that flung them into multiple dimensions, the students began a legendary cram session to prepare for their Intro to Infernal Exam.
- During this cram session, they collaborated with their fellow students to improve their chances at passing the exam. Some students became fast friends, while others became bitter enemies.
- Deep into their all-nighter, the students were interrupted by cultists from Morganth’s Legion of Doom, led by the senior Temur Octagon. They were searching the library for information about Tzastis the Collector.
- The heroic students dispatched several Morganth cultists, and showed much restraint when delivering a non-lethal knockout blow to the traitorous Temur.
- The students passed the exam, except for Tony Gorgonzoli. He failed big time and will need to take Remedial Infernal.
- Headmaster Arctur Execlostrabaum congratulated the students and handed out rewards to them, though he was unwilling to alter Tony’s grade due to his academic honesty policy.
