The Academy of the Twin Path

[Mellinore Brightshield]

"A job sir? That would be Vice-Principal Tordesh."

(He gives directions to her office.)

[Satorius]

Thank you.

*He follows the directions to her office and knocks on the door*

[Mellinore Brightshield]

(A youngish woman answers the door.)

"Hello sir. This is the office of the Academy's vice-principal. How can we help?"

[Satorius]

Hello. I wish to apply for a job.

[Mellinore Brightshield]

"A job?

As an instructor you mean?

I will see if the Vice-Principal is busy."

[Satorius]

*He nods*

Yes, as an instructor.

*He patiently waits*

[Mellinore Brightshield]

(She walks off, and returns a few minutes later.)

"The Vice-Principal can see you in half an hour. She asks you to write out a summary of your areas of knowledge and expertise, together with a brief personal history, for her to read while you talk."

(She shows him to a desk, places paper, ink and pen for him and goes back to her desk where she continues her current task of transcribing a letter.)

[Satorius]

*He nods and goes at it.

He lists his areas of expertise as the Planes, Arcane Magics, Celestials, Demons, Devils, The Blood War, Magical Artifacts, history, religion, so on and so forth.

As to the history, he frowns and writes a very brief history, mentioning quite honestly that he is an Ascended Incubus. He doesn't go too into detail about much of any of his history, however. She can ask if she wants to know.*

[Mellinore Brightshield]

(A dwarven woman looks out into the office.)

"You would be the person applying for a job? Please come in, and bring your resume with you."

[Satorius]

Yes.

*He stands and walks into the office*

[Mellinore Brightshield]

(SHe reads quickly through the resume. Only once does she seem to react.

She goes to the door)

Adrien, would you mind finding Archmage Zekiel, High Clerist Faelara and Bursar Pyrin please? And get me three copies of this."

(She hands the resume to the girl, comes back in and sits down.)

"Adrien will be a few minutes."

[Satorius]

*He nods*

Ok.

[Mellinore Brightshield]

(After about fifteen minutes, the door opens and a shortish, bespectacled man of middle years arrives. He goes over and takes a chair to the left of the Vice-Principal.) "Madam Vice-Principal."

"Bursar."

(Shortly afterwards Adrien enters with a bundle of papers in one hand. She sorts them out into four piles, and places them in front of Tordesh. Satorius can see that they are all in his script.

As she leaves another man comes in, and takes a seat at Tordesh's right hand. He is taller, thin and grey haired, but with keen eyes.) "Madam Vice."

"Archmage."

(Tordesh hands copies of the resume to these two, and to the High Clerist, a slender Elfwoman of middling height who walks with the arrogance that good breeding instills.)

"Vice-Principal, good day." (She takes the fourth seat and reads the resume.

After a few minutes, they all finish reading, and the Vice-Principal speaks.)

"The resume is quite impressive, Satorius. You will understand that we must test your knowledge in these areas I hope?"

[Satorius]

*He nods*

Yes, I understand.

[Mellinore Brightshield]

(Tordesh herself leads off the questioning, probing for details of his knowledge of items of power, starting with simple items and leading onto the great works of power.

She probes for his understanding of how things are made just as much as what he knows about different items.)
