Students of Strixhaven EP 11 – The Search for Rodane

· 8 min read

As the episode begins, we discuss what Khorvus got up to during the trimester break, having taken part in a Dragonsguard Reserve Corps endurance weekend. Deep in the Lorehold Badlands, we come across Khorvus trying to keep up with a small group of students being led by Lilianna Flametounge. Khorvus struggles in the hot, arid environment, and begins to question his beliefs on what life outside his Triton colony is like, and the superiority complex that Triton's have towards the land-dwelling species. After sometime, when the rest of the group is far ahead of him, Khorvus begins to smell salt in the air, like that from near the ocean, and follows the scent.

Students of Strixhaven EP 7 – Close Encounters

· 8 min read

The small gnome, located in this hidden room, continues to shout out into the darkness, clutching for his glasses and calling for someone named "Jeremus". Edolkar steps forward, and calmly explains he is not Jeremus, but offers to help find the gnome his glasses, finding them on a small side table nearby. Edolkar enquires on why the gnome would live in such a place, especially in the middle of the sewers beneath Candlekeep. The gnome indicates it was not by his design, then prompts Edolkar to confirm who he is and what he is doing down below. Edolkar indicates that they were following rumours of a "closed circuit" sanitation system, and that an Otyugh may be involved, wishing to study it for academic purposes. The gnome offers to provide some first-hand experience for a task if Edolkar and the others are willing to help with a task. As the party introduces themselves, the gnome indicates he is Weetlewort. Weetlewort explains one of his duties down here is to keep the Otyugh, named 'Otto', "in-check" and satisfied. A number of sanitation pipes above funnel waste into the sewers, which is then prepared for Otto, though he does also require some other foods which are brought in by hand. He says if the party are willing to carry some supplementary bags of food, he will take them to Otto, and they can get a first-hand interaction with it.

The story continues on the day after the party has completed the orientation challenge and found their accommodation in a small cottage a few minutes from central campus. With their mandatory class Magical Physiologies not due to start until the afternoon, the party discuss their morning habits and rituals. Khorvus soaks in the bathtub in the basement of the cottage. Edolkar goes for a long pre-dawn walk, before it begins to get busy on campus. Arth finds in the back of the cottage is a small garden, and tends to it, pulling weeds. Still acclimatising to daylight, the owlin Trix is quite groggy and wants to find a good place on campus for a good feed.
