Dweomercore; or, the Pain of Education

Descending into an arched room with mosaics of wizards engaged in dazzling spell duels, the adventurers stare down the three foot tall anthropomorphic fox-like creature; dressed in a fine white silk kimono with red patterning. Her closed, but all seeing eyes appraise each of them before a small smile spreads across her face; squeezing the small rubber ball in her left hand. Breaking in the newbies always delighted her. "Welcome...who's ready to learn?" They say she's sweet but a little bit psycho... 

• Theme: 
• Ava Max - Sweet but Psycho
• Location: 
• The Dungeon of the Mad Mage (Level 9)
• Goal: 
• Locate and Recover Letti's Fragment
• Threats:
• Letti
• Tutored under the transmutation expert Arcturia, Letti became increasingly despondent after everything that she had sacrificed for and worked towards failed under the Blackcloak's madness. She unfortunately could not escape the influence of the Undermountain, and developed her own strange tastes over the years. She now spends the majority of her time trying to find a pupil strong enough to complete the spell that will let her return home. 
• It was rumored that her partner was Geb. 
• Nester
• Once the premiere expert necromancer and member of Halaster's fabled organization of apprentices called 'The Seven', he now bides his time here teaching and studying worthy successors for the Blackcloak. 
• Spite 
• The most apt pupil, a simple twelve year old human boy, Spite Harrowdale along with his bodyguard, female half-ogre Dumara, seek to take their skills even further by acquiring a hidden spellbook in Halaster's private sanctuary. 
• Cephalossk 
• A solitary mind flayer arcanist, it is a pariah among its own kind and has no allies to speak of. It loathes Halaster's favored pupil, Spite, and seeks to eat his brain at the earliest opportunity. 
• Summary: 
• Hundreds upon thousands of would-be apprentices came seeking the Blackcloak's secrets and knowledge, but not all are worth his attention. Some must improve and prove themselves at this magical academy designed to test, trap, and confound its students at every turn. Teachers and students lurk these halls of learning -- each seeking the favor of the fox-like headmistress: Letti.
