Mistress Prayshin gleefully revealed her plans for the upcoming end of the semester assignment.
The rumble of discontent and the few scattered sounds of excitement revealed that her students met the idea with varying degrees of contentment.
"Spelunking?" One novice exclaimed plaintively, "It sounds vaguely disgusting."
"Students, Students." She managed to get them in order with a rather pronounced rumble to the floor beneath their desks, the Earth responding to her barest manipulations, "This is an excellent opportunity to demonstrate your skills with the transmutation of Earth. Please be advised that I will be expecting reports on which spells worked best to conquer which areas of the catacombs. ANnnnnD," She drew out the word for maximum attention....
...dramatic pause....
...."I've buried a rather fascinating artifact somewhere in the caverns and catacombs. A blue sapphire amulet that will grant its wearer increased acuity."
As the students stared at her in bewilderment she expanded, "It will make you smarter. " She grinned at their dawning light, "And it is yours to keep if you find it first."
The explosion of chatter that this announcement was broken by one lone voice piping up over the crowd, "When does this contest start, Mistress?'
"It started ten seconds ago." She beamed her enthusiasm on the shell shocked students.
((OOC, this is tied to the thread: Wrong Turn created by Craven Delights. Please feel free to use this prompt to engage in roleplay and writing of your students conducting their searches for the artifact and attempting to meet the requirements of the assignment. If you?re interested in having your student encounter one of Craven's Revenants please feel free to do so. ? Thank you!))
(As for the amulet's recipient....that remains to be seen).
