Chapter 36 by Zingiber Zingiber

What's your next Move?

Use your FAVOR with Ms. Sterling to HAVE SEX

You feel your member twitch inside your robes and start filling up.

Ms. Sterling laughs. "I feel that too, Eric," she says. She takes a deep breath and pushes up her blue-lensed glasses. "Shall we begin?"

You blink. "Do you mean...?"

"Exercises to control your Wild Talent?" she says. She nods. Her golden brows furrow just slightly to show her serious intent.

"I'm, ah, a little distracted," you say. You swallow. "By my libido being up? I wonder if I, ah, we, should take care of that first?"

She raises one eyebrow, tilts her head, and puts a hand on her hip. Then she closes her eyes and moves her hand to her belly.

"Please, Ms. Sterling?" you ask.

She takes a deep breath, rubs her belly, and looks at you again. "I suppose we've done all the harm we can already," she says. She grins. "And if you can control yourself in extremis, we should count that as very good progress."

"Ms. Sterling?" you look at her hopefully.

"Help me raise a ward, Mr. Mothwing-Marshall," she says.

You nod and take up your wand.

She laughs. "But first, take off your robe."

Your face glows with embarrassment and desire as you stand nude before Ms. Sterling. She's all gold and sapphire and azure robes and pale cream skin and glittering rings and parted lips.

The two of you recite in chorus as you raise a protective ward around Ms. Sterling's room.


You have Ambition -1, Bravery 0, Cunning +2, Diligence +2.

Miss Wormwood the nurse owes you a FAVOR for your donations of seed.

You are in PATERNITY. Treat Ms. Sterling as a FRIEND (your assigned tutor vs. wild magic; +2 to ENCOUNTER) and as a HANGER-ON (-1 to rolls vs. Ms. Sterling, you may have to DEAL WITH YOUR HANGER-ON).

Ms. Sterling has promised to give you a GOAL to help work on your Wild Talent. You have 5 XP and may apply ADVANCEMENT relevant to the GOAL she gives you, or your circumstances at Boarbristle, introducing any relevant plot elements.

Roll +DILIGENCE(+1) (+2 Diligence, -1 HANGER-ON) to HAVE SEX with Ms Sterling.

⚂⚀ + 1 = 5, Miss.

Resolve the results of your MISS, including your Wild Talent breaking out, then DEAL WITH YOUR HANGER-ON.

  • You're interrupted or have to stop. Maybe it's something interesting like a loose magical beast.
  • Caught by a professor, house proctor or staff. Next: GET OUT OF TROUBLE.
  • Caught by a FRIEND who disapproves. Lose the FRIEND.
  • Caught by your ENEMY. Next: CONFRONT YOUR ENEMY.
  • Caught with your pants down in dangerous circumstances or by a threatening creature. Next: GET OUT OF DANGER.

Describe the results of your Wild Talent breaking out, then DEAL WITH YOUR HANGER-ON.
