So, here's the tale, thus far. Tal Smith, your basic run of the mill high school genius, is the first Dust Child ever admitted to the Hunts School, and allowed to participate in the Folk Tyrning Hunts. In retrospect, things might could have gone a little smoother the first term. Sure, Tal's team, the Omada, did well on the Scavengyr Hunt, and they're still in the running to be the Ruling Council of the known universe for the next three hundred years. That's a plus. There were a couple of small hiccups. Tal was pretty much killed by his Hunts School squeeze in a Combat Challenge. And, if he doesn't return Helblad the draugr's long lost love by the year end Coronation Ceremony, Helblad gets to eat Tal for dinner. What's on tap for this term? The sadistic HuntsMistress picked a Wytch Hunt-which has a high student mortality rate. If that's not bad enough, it turns out the wytches are really not very nice people. Oh, and there's the little matter of someone dying at this year's Winter Formal.
