Boss Conquered!

Congraulations to all of our amazing students for an incredibly successful boss encounter this weekend. I was so impressed with how you worked together, especially Zilya's leadership skills and Jinn's strong support. I really felt that the team became more cohesive and I'm anxious to see what's next in store for this fine party.

For participating in the challenge, party members recieved 80xp (60 for the time walking and 5xp per team member who participated). In addition, we added some skill challenges along the way. Zilya and Jinn were particularly enterprising, earning skill points in Dexterity, Stamina, and Speed! Calamitus and Biirna preformed the Stamina and Dexterity challenges, but not speed. All in all, it was a widly sucessful endeavor and I'm very proud of each of you. Keep up the good work!

New Boss Encounters Added!

Hello Students! Your instructors have worked hard to arrange a series of boss encounters designed to test your individual strength, discipline, and your skills as a party. The first of these challenges is slated for this upcoming weekend. We will be exploring the area around the camp. While this may seem innocuous to some of you, consider that many of our students are unfamiliar with this terrain and need to gain sure footing. In addition, a hero must always be aware of his or her surroundings and aware of any potential dangers. It is the responsibilty of the students to arrange a time suitable for each of you to come together and venture past the campus walls. Each student who participates will recieve 30xp in addition to the xp gained from the excercise. If the entire party participates in any boss challenge, you will recieve an additional 5xp each. Take this time to get to know your other party members and begin coming together as a group.

Students,

We would like to call to your attention the tests that you will encounter while training here. We not only have quests and badge mastery, but every couple of weeks we will offer a boss battle. That boss battle might be a group trek surveying the grounds, or a physical competition to parse out a winner from the group. It could be a show of endurance, teamwork, or wits- and perhaps a combination of those elements and more.
The important thing to recognize is that boss battles are truly voluntary- you may or may not accept them, much like the other quests and badge mastery. But there are advantages to entering a boss battle, with extras that you cannot receive elsewhere, and a boost in xp.

Sincerely,

Headmaster Quo
