A Hot New DVD Marivhon, there are a couple monks' groups around town. One is relatively new, they seem like major players and they're pretty rich. They're called the Monks of Progress. They've got a hot new DVD out too, so you can find them at Tower Records. Basically, they're all about progress, change, self-actualization, being rich and powerful, that kind of thing. The other monk group is called the Red Lotus gang and they're ninjas, it's about what you'd expect, nunchuks and all that. If you want 200 gp of your 500 gp donation to go towards special training, either group will reserve some gym time for you when you get that magical 2nd level. Of course, getting that requires xp, which requires fighting, which requires an adventure, which is something you guys don't have right now.

Okay, you buy some shoes, crackers, etc... The pixie keeps cussing you out "hey corn cob, you suck", but thanks you for the cracker "so scratch my back I'll scratch yours, huh? What do you have in mind?"

You mentioned earlier that you were going to follow Mike around. Mike gets special training via the Durth Mining College. They have a special training facility for undead assassins deep in the caves, and the Blackwall Thiefs set him up there. So he's basically at zombie murder camp for two months. He doesn't really do much in his free time- stare at the wall, eat some flesh, make hats for his zombie pals.

Okay Brogg, you enroll at the Durth Community College. You take an art class, draw some flowers, vases, and as your final project the unicorn massacre. There's an open house at the end of the 8 week course, and you put up your picture with a lot of other pictures, like a mine tunnel, a flower, a woman's face, some dude's hay wagon, that kind of stuff. A 13 doesn't quite win you first prize, but everyone gets an "Honorable Mention" ribbon.  ¶ 1:16 PM
