In light of me just having read WIzards Conclave, I feel like starting something based on that book *Will contain some spoilers*:

With Jenna and a lot of the Red Robes gone, Dalamar took up the administration of restoring the Tower. For the first few weeks, this went surprisingly well. Then the wild mages started showing up. Wielding powers only High Sorcerers was able to copy, they harrased everyone leaving Wayreth. Tracing teleportations and seeing flight, everyone that left, even for seconds was in danger of being torn apart by the chaotic wild mages. Driven to insanity by the defeat in Wayreth, many of the most vile of the wild mages attacked without thought of their own safety, making it hard to keep up a strong defense long enough to retaliate. After the third of the depleted perished, Dalamar personally saw to it that the mighiest wild mages learned that he did not appreciate his new face. Along with Coryn, he personally saw to it that the wild mages where scattered, then send the greatest mages out to clear them out. That proved to be harder than expected. A trap forced Dalamar and Coryn back into the tower, being too valuable to risk and other mages took it upon themselves to clear out the near infinite numbers of wild mages. They had gathered in camps putting the area, where Wayreth might appear, almost completly circled. After months of battle, the High Sorcerers was forced to retreat again. The wild mages still dominated the area and still threatened the ancient order and now it was time for retaliation. Many mages was sent to every concentration of Moon magic they could reach, there to kill enough mages to draw the others out.

This will circle around the Sorcerers defending themselves from the wild mages. My characters will vary, but I will use one more permanently:

Tiran was a dwarf, a black rope. having heard but fail to heed the call of the moons, he had fallen in to depression, hiding himself deep below the mountains until he, for some reason, forund the strength to emerge into the hated sunlight, away from his fellow dwarves. Possessing immense power, he had immediately taken it upon himself to find other of the ropes. He quickly located Jenna and joined some of her mages in finding new recruits. Usually, he merely added to everyone being suspicious about magic, but the occasional person found him interesting enough to become apprentices. When the wild mages besieged them, he had fought back with every gloom spell he possessed, many unique to his own study.

"They're at it again!" The dwarf roared as he sent a bolt of black cold into the trees surrounding them. A bonesplitting scream indicated that he had struck his mark. He grinned with what remained of his sounds and two more of the dark bolts appeared in his hands, ready to be hurled at everything that moved. A ray materialising to become a ram struck him at the side. He groaned as he dropped to a knee. Immediately, the wild mages started emerging, thinking themselves victorious. The dwarf hurled himself up again, hurling the bolts again. This time, they didn't explode. When they hit, they jumped on another, aurrounding five in all in black flame. Tiran clapped once, and the flames exploded. Charging to attack, he met another one head on, buying the others time to get on their feet.

OOC: i will join

Name: Quail Birdsong

Gender: Female

Race: Elf

Class: Red robe

Bio: Only just passed the Test.

IC: Quail chanted and six flaming scimitars floated in front of her, she did a quick motion with her hands and the scimitars spread out automatically killing three wildmagi and the other three were destroyed by spells. The remaining three spun around and went for new targets, killing three more scimitars. Quail smiled and looked around for anymore magi, on to be hit across the clearing by a spell, she got stuck in a tree and was covered by the leaves, the swords still combating the Wildmagi.

killing three more scimitars
I spotted a boo boo!

OOC: When did Jenna die? I know only about 4 RRs were left after WC but Jenna was made HoC. Or is this your alternate version of events where Jenna did die? Well I suppose I could point out the forrest would take care of the wild mages as they haven't the right intentions and the only reason the other wild mage was granted access into it was because of the Irda Stone. But that wouldn't be fun. :p

Name: Digofein Passimo
Class: Red Robe
Race: Human... maybe.
Weapons: Staff and Dagger
Bio: Wild magic sorceror to student sorceror of Palin Majere (as many of the young ones were) then Red Robe of the conclave.

"Mistress Quail, my divination has reported 6 more wild magics in a large bubble of invisibility and 4 more to the south of the tower with haste. I have momentarily trapped and dispelled the haste from the 4 wizards and some Black Robes are dealing with them now, they're putting up a fight but Robes will win. I came here to ask for aide in the other six, my divinations have sensed great power in them, so I thought to seek your help so we may irradicate them in a quick group effort, just in case." Digofein finished his report and waited for her response.

Quail cast featherfall and jumped floating gracefully to the floor, "Yes, we had better go." Quail, walked to the south looking for any sign of the wildmages, although the mages are invisible their effects on the land is noticeable, the breaking of a twig, a bush leaning the wrong way, grass that is flattened or even the shape of feet.

OOC: thanks for that Morclavian I won't change it but will just say that the scimitars have been dispelled now and the maig are dead, that are around us. :D

OOC: Wizard Spells (http://www.systemreferencedocuments.org/35/sovelior_sage/wizardSpells.html)

"I'm right behind you!" he replied watching as Mistress Quail of the Red jumped out of the tower, casting a featherfall spell. Pulling out a leather loop he set out to fallow her out of the tower casting his spell just before his last step and walking out into the air unmoving. With the will of his mind he slowly descended to the ground, running to keep up with the faster elf.

OOC: She's not dead. With gone I meant gone from the tower. She went to recruit new robes. And we are not in the Tower, as Wayreth would prevent it from working. We are in a forest somewhere, going from place to place to recruit. There is no tower *said with Matrix voice while bending a spoon like butter without touching it*

BIC: Tiran looked at the dead mages with a grin, then returned to the others. "Where'd you say the others where?" He asked.

Silly man, the socererors are the wild mages. :p

IC:

Digofein didn't reply, he was struggling to keep up with Quail and hadn't the breath to waste. When The Red Robes reached the far south they stopped and divined to be sure they were in the right spot.

"They're near alright, but we'll need to take care of that pesky invisibility beforehand." Digofein said as he quickly went over a plan in his mind and explained it to Mistress Quail.

They closed in on the edge of the water soaking the ends of their robes. "They'll be here any moment now, we must make haste", he said. And with that Digofein took out a piece of straw and began to mumble words bending the straw and brining it up to his lips, placing a hand on the Mistress' shoulder and channeling the spell into the both of them. When the spell was complete they quickly entered the water, completely submerged.

In just a few moments Digofein's eyes peered through the water to the trunk of the tree bridge and watched as it shook with a light force of invisible weight, and he got his signal. Silently coming out of the water he retrived a piece of Octopus Tentacle Quail had given him and bagn to summon the spark of magic within, saying a silent prayer in his mind to Luinitari as he said the words of magic, pressing his hand underneath the trunk, shadows began to grow like wild fire underneath and soon enveloped the whole trunk and the invisible sorcerors froze. Digofein could only imagine what they were saying, the fear on their faces and panick in their voices.

Suddenly the illusion failed and shadowy tentacles grew from the trunk of the tree grapping hands, faces and components as the blasphemers tried to defend themselves. At this a large splash of water could be heard above their muffled screams on the other side of the trunk. Mistress Quail was ready to dish out the full wrath of her god.

OOC: Am I now? That is a bit presumptuous, maybe I don't want to use the full power because I might need it later on, I remember Grimgor's storylines. Btw you seemed to haev ignored Grimgor, he is with us as well.

IC: Quail heard the splash, she started to cast her spell, immediately, the weeds and plants moved towards the invisible mage. The plants wrapped around the magi's legs and pulled the magi underwater, whilst another plant slowly wrapped around the magi's neck strangling him to death.

OOC: Naw I didn't forget'em, I hadn't the breath to answer'em and since he's a stubby little dwarf I figured he'd come in later. And when I mean the full power of Luinitari I don't mean that literally. A Fireball isn't the full power and would take them out as they've been grappled and left defenseless by the Black Tentacles (http://www.systemreferencedocuments.org/35/sovelior_sage/spellsAtoB.html#black-tentacles) spell, although I left the crushing damage out of it.

OOC: The Towers are the Towers of High Sorcery. The name sorcerer is no specific class, just another name for the robed mages

BIC: The wild mages appeared from their illusion as they retaliated. One of them managed to slip out of the tentacles for long enough to dispel the magic, tearing off the fabric of the magic, only to force the grass up to grap the two wizards. As the grass reached their chest, the trew a simple spell, putting them both ablaze.

OOC: Now remember, these are actually not defenseless. Newly educated wizzies is going to have a hard time facing off one of these.

Digofein was stunned to see his carefully laid out plan fail. But that would not stop him, he was an inprovisor and he went back to doing what he did best. Concentrating his mind, focusing on the spark of magic and placing his open palm beneath the bridge trunk he forcing the words of magic to escape his tongue and within moments the fallen tree shakes, rattles and spins in a series of quick 360 degree kicking out from under the blasphemers' feet, smashing into their legs, their rips, their shoulders and even some heads just before they fall into the water. Their screams drowned out, literrally from the murky water, and some even still grappled by vines and rubbery tentacles.

Now knowing he has to get away from them he begins to cast a fly spell.

Quail screamed as the flames licked her body, she struggled to get loose of the burning vegetation, she kick, bite and even spat at the fire and plants. At last she was able to free a leg, she tumbled forward into the water, dousing the flames, only to be held there by the plants. She could still beathe under water due to the last spell, she concentrate and dispelled the plants holding onto her. She jumped to the surface to see that the wildmages were all gone.
