((I dunno. I asked Rag for a stat base on Hecate and he said about 1000. Then again, Hecate is a senior.))
"As I understand it, you have all recently been on a physically and mentally taxing mission to Ravlania, yes?"

((Metamagic. :3))

Madeleine seems to be there as well. She's reading a folder.

She then looks up at the group.
"Right. Now that you're all here...

Very recently, the village of Murburgh, several miles north of our school, was swallowed up by an unidentified dimensional disturbance. As I have had experience with dimensional disturbances, I have been asked to coordinate an operation to investigate the rift and to see if it can be closed."

A map of the city? Ah, but it's nice when it's all big and undefined. You could stick aaaanything in there.

+1

Though I can see the merits of a map.

Agreed.

Dammit. I made the GM feel good.

I'm sorry if your characters die, guys.

I always have the niggling feeling my characters are too Sue-ish. I try to avoid using blatantly Sue stuff, though so far I haven't got anyone complaining. Hopefully.

Nate decided he needed to do some studying. After all, he may have had the power to summon spirits, but hey, that wasn't going to stop his teacher from giving him hell on it.

"Hm. What was it...oh, right. Programming Yeah."
He went into his room.

He had a small lounging spot in the corner belonging to the Salamander, who had grudgingly accepted him as a necessity. It was off doing....something. The Fire Hive, the mystical insects of fire he'd summoned, were inside a (specially ordered) glass tank. After they'd burnt their way through Nate's last Art assignment, he'd learnt his lesson.

The teen sat in front of his computer stretching his fingers.
"Alright. Let's do this."
He sat there for several hours, programming his assignment; a game of Pong.

Meanwhile, the Salamander was curious.

It never acted curious. It only knew five things.

The 'master', Nathan, or whatever he was called. His 'creator', no matter how grudgingly he accepted it.

The 'other', Tom. He was curious. Interesting. He knew not much about mythology, like Nathan. He wasn't too fun to look around at.

The Fae, Holly. He hadn't seen much of the Fae around since she was summoned here. Perhaps she was off.....enjoying Nature? Heh. Trees weren't for him. He prefered burning them.

The fireflies. He liked them. They were fire spirits, like him. Fun to converse with. At least, he thought they would be. It turned out that they were only obsessed with the Inner Fire, or whatever. Bloody killjoys.

And everything else was either food or not food. It didn't matter to the Salamander.

But this human. This one.

He seemed interesting. Fascinating, even. He inspired curiosity in the fire spirit-made-corporeal.

Always calling, always working, always always busy. Not like the master, not like the other. Not like the Fae.

He seemed to contain....a great grief. And also....power.

Similar yet different from the master.

The Salamander needed to know.

For the other NPCs...
Holly's off in the forest.
The Fire Hive are inside a fireproof glass tank.
Tom is...Tom.

Meanwhile.

Frightening reports are coming in of the entire settlement of Murburgh being swallowed by the Rift. The entire settlement is now gone.

"Hellfire."
Richard runs in...

Ashley is also rendered unconscious.
