We woke up the next morning tired and still fuzzy headed. We talked for a while with the dean of Druidic Studies, but I don't really remember what we were talking about. Xuxu kept tickling me.

Then we took the mirror to see Professor Snow for some reason. I don't really remember. I was a little fuzzy headed.

Professor Snow said some things, and I remember talking about raising zombies in order to kill them, but I'm not sure. He put his hand on my head, and the fuzziness went away. Back to my old self!

He told us that if we wanted more info about the mirror, we should go visit the necromancy professor during his office hours that night. Until then, it was time for class.

That night, we talked to the necromancer, who was a pretty neat guy. I can't remember his name though. His hair was greasy and stringy and he had all sorts of weird stuff in jars. I tried to get some chemicals out of him to make the Sigerian Soup that Shigara and I have been working on, but he didn't have the right stuff.

We chatted for a while about the mirror, but he didn't know what it was. Then we went to bed.

After Ethics class the next day, we saw Professor Grinfinth, the dean of druidic studies, running down the quad. "Where's the mirror?" she kept saying.

We told her that Professor Snow sent to the the crypt to the necromancer, and she totally freaked. She ran towards the cemetary and shouted, "Follow me!!!"

We did, for some reason. When we got there, hundreds of undead were pouring out of their graves. Spark fell onto the ground and tried to eat dirt and yell at the same time. It must be some strange bird person custom to scare off evil spirts.

Hmmm.

We all piled into the crypt, trying not to be killed by undead. I took up the rear, trying to protect Kayla and the Professor, and Kayla took out her bow and tried to shoot a skeleton. Very brave, but, Duh! They're made of open bones! How can you hurt one with a pointy stick. I on the other hand, used a blunt instrument, my fist.

I didn't have any weapons or armor, I had just come from Ethics class, and I didn't have any martial classes until later in the day. Oh well. they're only skeletons. We finally got everyone inside, and then a really really big skeleton came to the entrance. Shigara hit it with some of his magic more, and Xuxu hit it with a magic bolt, and then it went down. I didn't even have to punch it. Bummer.

The professors came back with the mirror and said that we had to get it out of there because it was causing the problem with the undead. I grabbed it and started running. I think Skyld was following me, but I didn't wait to find out. I heard Grinfinth say something about the top of the arcane studies tower, so I went in that direction.

Where was that again? Was it near the stables or the archery range. Damn, I always get so turned around.
