Adventuring for Idiots, Because Clearly You Need It [Thursday, 2nd Period]

Cara had informed her students to meet her at the causeway.

"I'm taking advantage of our current location for this," she said once there seemed to be the right number. "So follow me, and try not to get lost. That means you too, Leroy."

In short order Cara led them over the causeway and into Stormwind, and from there into one of the taverns in the Dwarven District, where she pointed them towards a large corner table with a view on the common room. "Sit."

Once everyone was seated, Cara continued. "So you're probably in this class because you like the idea of adventuring, or because of some kind of paperwork error," she said. "When it comes to adventuring, the first and best lesson I can give you, is don't. Adventures get people killed, and if you're fortunate, it'll be the other guy.

"But since you're either going to ignore that or have no choice in the matter, the next bit of advice I can give you is to try to be smart about what adventures you go on, and one way to do that is to not walk into obvious traps, which is why we're here, as taverns and the like are one of two place where people inevitably come up and ask you for help." The other was wandering around outdoors minding your own business, but Cara was in no way stupid enough to tempt fate by having the class do that. "So we're going to spend this class observing. Pay attention to your fellow patrons, especially if someone comes up to them with some kind of idiot quests. Discuss what makes them seem trustworthy or not. Try to be discreet. Apparently it's a bad example if I get into brawls during classtime." Plus she might have to pay for damages.

"But before we get started with that, first class means introductions. So name, class, one time you might have avoided trouble if you'd looked before you leaped."

So You Just Met Your Relative From The Future, Friday

[saddeserthermit]

To say Obi-Wan looked mildly perturbed to be here with a wholly different Skywalker covering a very strange subject would be... an overstatement. There was a hint of it in the arch of his brow, but that was about it. He strode through the classroom with confidence.

"Welcome," he said, "To this class on a rather particular kind of strangeness that this island will bring to you. As you may know, it is a nexus between various worlds, and... various times. Oftentimes, this simply means you'll encounter people from places you have never heard of. Sometimes, it gets rather more... complicated. Personally."

Ben nodded vigorously. "I'm Ben Skywalker," he said with a tiny smile and a trace still of a Coruscanti accent. "And yeah, I'm one of those Skywalkers."

Sorry, Ashoka's brain. "I'm Anakin's grandson. Luke's son. And Cade's grandfather, which may mean more or less to you depending on where you fall on which timeline."

He spread his hands. "Now if you've been here for more than a few days, you've probably met some future children from possible timelines. You might have met people from your own galaxy but a different time. And it can give you a huge headache, and that's okay. It takes some time for your brain to adjust."

Obi-Wan cleared his throat. "My name is Obi-Wan Kenobi," he established. "The best way to begin preparing yourself for these headaches is to think of the worst," he said. "So I would like you all to give your name, class, and one situation in which meeting a relative - past, present or future - would be very awkward for you, or worse."
