Castle Classroom [reload page]

You find yourself in a typical looking classroom. Wooden desks stand in neat rows throught the room, facing a large blackboard on the northern wall, complete with chalk and dusters. It also looks as if someone has recently writen or drawn something on the blackboard...

The far wall (northern) has a large ivy framed window looking toward out behind the castle. There you can see numerous kites flying in a steady wind coming up over a cliff. Beyond the cliff a sparkling lake edged by a thick forest can be seen.

Near the window just to the left of the blackboard is a plain but empty desk and chair, obviously for the teacher. A doorway behind the desk leading behind the blackboard is signed ``Printer Room''.

On the other side of the black board in the North-West corner of the room is a large empty space with a very worn pentagram drawn on the floor. The walls around the pentagram contain numerous burn and scorch marks and a faint sulfurous smell drifts from that area.

The rest of the walls of the classroom are adorned with numerous posters of weird writing and magical symbols. On a notice board next to the door into this room, you see a note in plain writing, which reads...

  Three Schools of Magic...
    1/ State a tautology, then ring changes on its corollaries.  -- Philosphy
    2/ Record many facts. Try to see a pattern.
           Then make wrong guess at the next fact.               -- Science
    3/ Awareness that you live in an malevolent universe controlled
       by Murphy's Law, sometimes offset by Brewsters Facter.    -- Engineering
  Magican Robert Heinlein
