The Journey from a Normal Life to Salem

Bus Stop

Each student, having received a letter from the prestigious, but enigmatic Salem School for Witchcraft found themselves waiting, not far from each of their homes, for a bus to pick them up and take them to this... opportunity.

A bus arrives and each student steps aboard - only to find that each of the other students is also stepping aboard the bus at the same time from different bus doors and different locations around North America - somehow, magically finding themselves on the same bus heading to Salem.

• We meet Ms Scraggle, the bus driver
  • 40s
  • crazy red hair
  • monitor lizard

Bus Ride

• Some students seem to get lost in their own worlds (as if they weren't even on the bus anymore)
• Myles and Arcadius get to talking about their magic, Myles doesn't really feel like he has any control of his, Arcadius demonstrates some of his "tinkering" magic
  • fiddles with some wires and actuators and mounts something to one of the bus windows.
  • All of the sudden, the bus is speaking to us... and it's a little sad.

Breakdown

• Something happens and the bus breaks down on a long stretch of road surrounded by tall corn
  • Chet identifies it as Flower Corn, but it seems magical maybe...it seems to have twice as many ears of corn on each stalk as normal corn, according to Chet
    • there are 13-14 types of corn, we learn... maybe extra if we count magic corn
    • Also, the DM notes, corn is a grass...
• Ms Scraggle goes out to investigate the engine and gets shocked and knocked unconscious. Myles goes to help her and can't really do much.
• Arcadius trying to work on the bus and somehow his magic tinkering fixed the bus
  • Myles tried to offer protection to him, but failed badly... luckily it didn't matter
• Chet who had been eyeing the corn fields noted that there was a rustling in the field moving towards them and he could tell it was not a person.
• Chet, Arcadius, and Myles manage to pick up Ms Scraggle and get her on the bus and close the door JUST as a hellhound raced to attack us. The closing door sliced it's head clean off.
  • The head was on the bus with us.
• We roused Ms Scraggle and she gratefully took us to Wendy's

Wendy's

• We asked about famous people being actual wizards and found out that Freddy Mercury was Wizard
• Baconator, Nuggies, & Frostys later we were back on the road

Salem School for Witchcraft

Arrival

We were greeted by Dr. Jordan Richards

• salt and pepper hair
• assistant headmaster
• fit, former jock
• degree in "magical liberal arts"

Jordan Richards and Ms Scraggle convened about the hellhound but, though he tried, Myles couldn't listen in (and got tinnitus for his trouble - failed bad)

We learn of but do not meet Headmaster, Shanaya Richards

• wife of Jordan Richards

Campus Tour

Admin building

• Large colonial brick buildings, white columns, New England college vibe

• The campus is surrounded by a lush forest

• We are warned to not wander too deep into the forest because of ticks, poison ivy, and trickster goblins

• We see Student Advisors in the admin building

  • through whom we can schedule a meeting with admin

• We get copies of the campus map
  

Football Stadium

First stop is the Football stadium (obviously?) where we meet Coach Kennedy

• Wearing Ocean Blue Silver White - the colors of Clover House (Salem)

More food options are pointed out to us here

School Store

We meet Donna

• portly older woman who seems very nice but a little... eccentric

Myles notices that

• We are being paraded around the campus and are being noticed
• We are the only people NOT wearing house colors... and it is painfully obvious.

Arcadius orders a coffee and Donna notes that she added jalepeno to it as a special treat. He opens the lid and fishes out a full jalepeno and Chet happily eats the coffee-soaked jalepeno. Arcadius does not enjoy his coffee. Jordan Richards tells us that Donna is really nice and she thinks she's being kind in her actions.

General Campus

We'll get our Class schedule tomorrow

Cafeteria

• newest building
• appears to match the style of the older buildings (dating back to the 1700s) but upon closer look, the cafeteria is not NEARLY as nice

At the Dorm of Dreams

• We are housed in this dorm for our first night before we are sorted the following day

• not nicest dorm

  • Colors: beige, grey, blue flag, sheep

• We learn that Work Study Programs exist to get food

• We met Sylvia the "dorm mom"

  • slightly heavyset, hair in buns
  • brings cookies seemingly out of nowhere and offers them generously

• It is a co-ed dorm with girls on the odd floors and boys on the evens.

• The boys go to the 4th floor and find their rooms all have north-facing windows... close view of the Forest of Thorns

• Through the window, we see Hank torching the forest of thorns with his wand to keep the thorns at bay.
