Drow Academy

Not open for further replies.
When my new acolytes were gathered int the central worship chamber of Arach-Tinilth, I seated myself in the belly of the massive spider "throne" given to the hadmistress. I began "You are all here to learn the ways of our dak queen, Lloth. It's entirely likely" I smiled evilly at this point. "That some of you will die. But the best will become priestessess of the Spider Queen. If you wish to continue, that road leads to the world of a high priestess, maybe even this chair." I pased, letting the prospect excite those who had the will for my world, then continued "If you can drag me off of it."
 
Anais smiled, slightly evilly. Her eyes glinted with the dertermined fire that seemingly consumed her.

She awaited the Headmistress's first instructions, ready to prove her worth.
 
<OOC>And for anybody who wants to put one in, I made this nifty little Drow sprite.

Sorry about the poor cropping, Appleworks was being anal this morning.<OOC>

"You won't be doing any actual spellcasting until your second year" I informed my students. "Your first is devoted to learning the precepts of Lady Lloth. You!" I snapped my finger toward one of the students (Anais). "What is the most important precept of Drow life?"

OOC: Ug, why me?

BIC: Anais shifted nervously. She had some idea, but wasn't sure if she was correct. She didn't want to think of what the punishment would be for being wrong.

She swallowed all her doubts and replied, "Never get caught," with as much confidence as she could muster while staring into the Headmistress's eyes.
 
"Rules," I began, tapping my fingers on the "arm" of the throne, one of the spider's legs. "Are far different from our precepts" was how I finished, continuing with "Station is the most important thing to our kind, superior to any other race. Station is what guide us, what makes our world turn. There used to be hundereds of houses in Menzoberranzan, now it's been whittled down to the best 62."
 
Anais gulped agian, greatful that she had not been punished for a wrong answer. The correct one was painstakingly clear, and she wished she could have cleared her head enough to answer it right.

A small snicker or two rose in the group of females. Anais's cheeks burned as she realized they were laughing at her stupidity.
 
OOC: Bah! *apologizes profusly for DPing* I WILL NOT LET THIS RP DIE! *pokes RP with a pointy stick* Come on...
 
<OOC>You're right. I hate RP block.<OOC>

I stared pointedly at the girl, grinding in that she'd answered wrong. The few who'd started laughing were quickly silenced when I encompassesd the whole room in a glare.
 
Anais cowered slightly under the gaze, glad that it soon encompassed the enitre room. She waited silently for further instructions.
 
"Today we'll be starting your studies on divining" I said, my voice in a soft, kind tone. I added nastily "A useful skill to have when determining Lloth's will." I stood up and said "Follow me to the chapel."
 
Anais followed quietly, the class hurrying to keep up with the teacher's strides.

Upon reaching the chapel, the enitire class fell silent. The hush was seemingly contagious.
 
I slowly opened the massive doors, elaborately engraved with spider figures. Only the doors of House Baenrae were more comlex, more astounding.

The chapel itself was perhaps the most elaborate in the city. A massive brazier, for the purposes of summoning creatures of the lower planes was here, always blazing in the center of the circle of runes tht kep hostile ones contained. On the far wall and in the dead center was an enchanted statue, permanently shifting between a massive spider and an astoundingly beautiful Drow female. I walked in, carefully keeping myself out of the circle and took the position of honor closest to the stature as I sat slowly, spreading my robes out around me.
 
OOC: Well, RM is supposed to be conducting the male class... Maybe someone should PM him about getting his RPing behind back here...

BIC: Anais looked around in awe. THe chapel was amazing. The statue in it's center was quite unique. The spider, then the femal drow. For some reason, the drow seemed familiar...

Anais pushed these questions aside as she watched the instructer sit. She shifted uneasilly, awaiting some instrucion as of what to do.
 
<OOC>I know, his absence is bugging me.<OOC>

I motioned for the students to sit down with an impatient wave of my hand. The good mood of this morning was rapidly dissapating and I wanted to see some blood. 'Children" I began with a sneer. "Today you begin your education. Today you'll be learning from one of Lloth's handmaidens, a yochol." The summoning was a simple one but the creature itself a different matter entirely. Certain yochol might well slaughter the entire class.
 
Anais watched nervously as the creature was summoned...

OOC: Ug... RPer's block
 
Finally, the handmaiden sprang into being, looking like a multi-tentacled candle half-melted. The creature boomed telepathically <WHO DARES SUMMON ME!> I stuggled to keep my focus on the runes keeping the creature at bay as I forced out "I, Andris, Matron Mistress of the Academy of Menzoberranzann do, princess of darkness."
 
The creature was hideous! Anais watched as it's many tenticals waved meticulously.

She cowered slightly as she saw how much effort it was taking Andris to keep it at bay.

What could they possibly learn from this!?
 
OOC: Okay, I'll PM RM (haha, it rhymes!!) and get his butt back!!
