Summary

After a tense few weeks of magical mishaps and escalating frog-related chaos, the students of Neverwood Academy gathered for the grand Autumn Equinox Feast — a celebration of the season, the end of the first half of term, and the community they were beginning to build.

Week 3 Homework Rolls

Before the festivities began, students completed their Week 3 homework rolls, reflecting the mounting academic pressure as exams approached. Successes and failures were noted — some students are flourishing, others... less so.

Whalebucks Autumn Menu Launched

In celebration of the season, Whalebucks unveiled its Autumn Specialty Menu 1508, including:

• Pumpkin Cauldron Latte
• Feyspice Fog
• Falling Star Chai
• Gingersap Pop-Tarts
  These magically-enhanced drinks became a highlight of the week, with many students using them to stay awake through late-night study sessions.

The Autumn Equinox Feast

Held in the transformed Biblioplex Hall, the Feast featured:

• Enchanted décor with glowing leaves, twilight illusions, and seasonal food magic
• Showcases from various clubs and student groups, performing demonstrations, readings, musical acts, and magical displays to highlight their Term 1 accomplishments
• The players happily indulged in food and drink, enjoying the brief peace

The “Solution” to the Frog Problem

Midway through the feast, two student researchers took to the stage, excited to present what they claimed was a magical solution to the recent frog infestations.

• One held up a small vial of green liquid, claiming it would repel or neutralize the frog invasion magic.
• Unfortunately, the student accidentally dropped the vial, shattering it on the floor.

Frog Swarm Chaos

• The liquid released a sickly-sweet scent that spread rapidly.
• The smell immediately began attracting frogs from all across campus.
• Dozens — possibly hundreds — of frogs invaded the feast hall, leaping over tables, knocking over food, and sending students fleeing.

The party chose to stay behind and face the frog invasion head-on.

• In the ensuing chaos, Harry (Ross’s player) was knocked unconscious by a leaping frog swarm but was heroically revived by Lyra, a fellow student.
• The group fought bravely and eventually drove off or subdued all the invading frogs, though the hall was left in utter disarray.
• Staff award 100 points to each group

Session Themes

• Celebration cut short by consequences of student magic
• Frog mystery continues to escalate
• The party earns respect (again) for staying behind when others fled
• Hint of dangerous experimentation from other student researchers

Ongoing Threads

• Who made the green liquid — and what exactly was it intended to do?
• Why are the frogs still being drawn to specific magical stimuli?
• Pattern of magical disruptions continues:
  • Week 1: Mimic
  • Week 2: Ochre Jelly
  • Week 3: Giant Frog & Goo
  • Week 4: Frog Swarm Invasion
• The name “frog invasion” is starting to be whispered around campus…
