:I remember you! (Player's name, garbled), right? Come back to tour the old grounds? Well, the island's not in good shape anymore. I don't think you'll enjoy your visit.:'''You know me?''':'Course I do! I never forget a face. You were younger back then. But I guess that's how time works. Anyway, if you came for a visit, I'm afraid there's not much left.::'''I don't remember any of this. My memories are gone!'''::Aw, another person got mind-wiped? Those damned hags have dumped a dozen or so here in the past year. No idea why!

;::Most of 'em got killed within an hour or so of arriving. But then, they weren't old students of mine. You know meremember any of my lessons?:::'''No, I don't remember you or anything about this place, I'm afraid.''':::Well, shit. Then you're not going to survive long here. The place is overrun with creepy crawlies now, since no students come for their battle tests anymore.::::'''Students used to come here?'''::::Well it's a state secret, but you used to have authorization, so I guess you still do, technically...

'Course I do! I never forget ::::There as a faceschool for ... You were younger gifted people, a while back then. But I guess that's how time worksRun by the [[The_Council|Council]]. AnywayThey were looking for the best and brightest to become master warriors, if you came for a visitbattle-mages, thaumaturges, I'm afraid there's not much leftand ultra heroic blah blah blah.

;I don::::This island was part of their final exam. Students had to show competence in a bunch of different skills here. Only a few graduated, and some were killed here. It't remember any of thiss a dangerous place. My memories are gone!

Aw::::I wonder if you passed your final exam? Heh, another person got mind-wipedI guess it doesn't matter now.:::::'''So that school is gone now? Those damned hags have dumped ''':::::Yep. Been gone for years. They shut everything down in a dozen or so here in the past yearhurry one day. No idea I don't know why!.

I don't know why.:When the school closed I moved here because... well, that's my own damn business. ;::::::'''I have another question.''' ::::::Sure, (garbled version of players name), what else is on your mind?:::::::'''Students used to come here?''';:::::::Well, it's a state secret... (see above):::::::'''Is there a way off this island?''' :::::::Well, you could swim, hehe... no, don't look hopeful, that was a joke! The sea's full of sharks and horrible beasts. An elven friend comes to visit me every year or so. You could get a ride back with her. Shouldn't be more than six or eight months wait. ;::::::::'''That's too long. Is there any other way?''' ::::::::If you still had your magic training, you could [[Teleportation|teleport]], I suppose... ;:::::::::'''Can you teach me how to teleport?''' :::::::::You were a fast learner before, so I guess I could try to teach you again. But it took you weeks to master it, and that's after you'd been studying the basics of magic for quite awhilea while. Hopefully some remnant of that training is still in your head somewhere. We can give it a shot and see... ;::::::::::'''Great! How do we begin?''' ::::::::::Well, first you'll need an [[amethyst ]] as a catalyst. And I'm fresh out of gems.:::::::::::'''Shit.''':::::::::::Don't you curse at me, young (man/woman)! There's still a chance. Lots of students had their [[ teleportation]] trials on this island, and they all brought spare [[amethyst]]s, so there's bound to be some hidden around somewhere.::::::::::::'''So I should find an amethyst and come back?''' (Begins the quest [[Find an Amethyst]].)::::::::::::Yup. Come back with an [[amethyst] ] ;and I have another question'll teach you the basics of [[teleportation]]. Try searching around the old teleportation platforms for misplaced gem bags. SureIf that doesn't work, (garbled version of players name)well, what else is there could be [[amethyst]]s anywhere on your mind?the island, really. ;:::::::'''Can I read your books?''' :::::::Well of course, just don't run off with them. They're very old and valuable... well, they're not very valuable anymore. I retrieved them from the basement of the university when I left. They weren't in good shape when I found them, and this sea air isn't doing them any favors. But still, they're more valuable than most of the junk on the island.
