Role

Chapter 3

The ship arrived at the Hamsah docks this afternoon. The necromancer and myself parted company
not as friends but with a sort of wary respect for each other's abilities. I'm rather glad I met
the man before he had enough training to be tempted to practice his art on me. Wandered about the
city for a while, exploring the markets and the temples before making my way over to the shapeshifter's
guild. A spacious, recently constructed building that seemed very impressive and a little imposing.
There was a bit of confusion at first when I made my way up the stairs and couldn't find anyone to
speak with, but after being startled nearly back down the stairs by a voice I couldn't see, the
guildmaster made himself visible and following a few surprisingly simple questions I was admitted into
the guild as an apprentice of magic. There really didn't seem to be any sort of requirements or tests
for entrance and I'm a bit worried that maybe they don't keep very high standards in this guild, but
I've yet to meet any fellow students so it's too early to judge. My teacher seems quite knowledgeable
at any rate.

There are five foci to pick among and the guildmaster thinks I can probably handle learning two of them.
They all sound interesting and I think I could learn a great deal and be happy with any of the five but
I haven't been able to decide on any of them yet. There's no rush though, I have quite a lot to learn
apparently before I will be ready to take my first form whatever it is, so I'm going to focus on the
skills they're teaching me now and spend a while longer examining my options.
