Taught the little halfling kid at the Fair how to do a libation:
A smartly-dressed, tiny halfling child says, "Look! Lord Nerryos listened."
Cleaned up and dressed up, this halfling child has turned into the
very model of a tiny gentleman. Clad in a stygian doublet and elegant
crimson breeches, both lined with gold, he has even found himself a
vaguely hook-shaped stick to use as a cane. Not a single spot of dirt
stains his new clothes, and his hair is slicked back in the recognisable
style of those attempting to appear as more high-born than they truly
are. Noticeably, his little face has grown pudgier, his once-thin form
leaning into the chubby. The warm smell of seawater drifts from their
form, a sign of the Sea's favour.
A smartly-dressed, tiny halfling child does not look particularly dangerous.
He has 100% health remaining. He weighs about 56 pounds. He is loyal to Actar. You see nothing in it.
The Divine voice of Twilight echoes in your head, "See that it is. I espy a tithe of potential in your mortal soul, Astarod Blackstone. Let us hope that it flourishes and does not falter as so many do."
Aegis, God of War says, "You are dismissed from My demense, Astarod. Go forth and fight well. Bleed fiercely, and climb the purpose you have sought to chase for."
Its rise precipitated by the tremors of Bataoac, a churning wave of tidal froth slams against the eastern coast of Rheodad, crushing the merchant vessel "Indiscretions" against the cliff with indescribable brutality.
With all the implacability of the earth, Bataoac's behemothic form comes to rest upon the Sangre Plains, settling with a ponderous certainty and paying little heed for those crushed beneath his mountainous heel

We knew we were going to die, and we went trundling out to say hi anyways
Professor Alnbeine says, "Suppose I should go look at this conduit, mhrm."
Sothantos says quickly, "What is the origin of the Worldkillers you mentioned? Do they originate from Creation itself? Additionally, when you speak of planar decay, is this a separate process from the erosion of the Planes by Chaos, which is described similarly? What happens to the material of the planes when they are destroyed? Are they simply returned to the ether? Is this process reversible? Do the Worldkillers have the ability to touch the fabric of Creation itself, or do they simply dismantle the weavings into their respective components? Is the destruction caused by planar decay the same type as that caused by the Worldkillers? Additionally, does the university do any research on what is beyond the boughs of the Tree, that is, the Outer Planes? You also mentioned that the planes above the Elemental Realms are not consisted of the elements. How can this be? It is taught here in the Prime that everything is made of the Elements at a fundamental level. What material is there besides different weavings of the Elements, and I suppose the ether? What evidence do you have that the upper planes are not in fact consisted of them and what is the process by which you reached this conclusion? Additionally, could you tell us more about your credentials and those of the research teams you've mentioned? How are you paid? How is your university funded? Are donations to the university in public record?"
Kriex peers at Sothantos unscrupulously.
Farrah stares implacably at Sothantos.
Taryius blinks.
Ayani blinks.
Skye stares implacably at Sothantos.
Kriex says in a clear voice, "Breathe man, breathe."
Mathonwy jots down a picture of an exploding God that looks suspiciously like Deucalion.
A smartly-dressed, tiny halfling child leans over to peek at Mathonwy's notebook.
Milani continues to doodle in her little journal, not even glancing up at the professor.
Farrah crumples up a piece of parchment, dissatisfied with what she has written, and throws it casually at Mathonwy.
Frowning at Farrah, Mathonwy turns a page, drawing a picture of a mountain crashing into Targossas.
Milani turns a page in her journal, watching Mathonwy and Farrah's drawings. She draws a picture of the two in a warm embrace and grins mischievously.
A smartly-dressed, tiny halfling child pulls out some squished cotton candy on a stick from somewhere and begins to eat it.
Sothantos glances at Milani's journal and shakes his head, turning his own page to display a large X scrawled over a doodle of a human and a xorani and a checkmark next to a pair of humans and a pair of xorani.
When she finishes her drawing, Farrah she tilts it slightly towards Mathonwy, and it is clear that it is a figure vaguely resembling him, but in peasant's clothing - with no copper crest.
Milani snickers at Sothantos and draws a picture of a human with a lizard head.
Stanislav draws Ugrach being crushed by Ashtan, which is being crushed by a garden.
Turning the page, Mathonwy sketches what appears to be Sothantos and Farrah getting stabbed by a noble woman of some sort.
Mezghar doesn't bother to draw anything, crumpling a sheet of parchment in his hand before tossing it nonchalantly at Sothantos' head.
Her mind drifting a bit, Skye scribbles a little heart with a trident on it in the corner of the wax.
Stheno's eyes flit over your page, prompting a smirk.
Sothantos scribbles 'pedant' on a page, angling it so that the audience can see but not the professor.
Stanislav writes something about how the Professer seems to hate trees.
Mathonwy finishes the sketch of Sothantos and Farrah by drawing them both getting attacked by a brispawk.
A look of utter confusion rests upon Tesha's features as she glances around at all the drawings.
For the record, this was interspersed throughout the lecture and doesn't include OTHER hilarious shenanigans like all the mass gazeouts and the professor thwapping the audience for talking and also randomly scolding other attendees for 'distracting' him.
BTW this is like the third time I've looked through the log. Still lol'ing.
Thank you to the players and admin who put so much time into your presentations and participation, and definitely to those who stepped up on short notices to fill in for things. It was a great event, and I loved it all.

(Ashtan): Dunn says, "Especially you."
