[OPEN] I've got ideas, but it's nothing I picked up at school

WHO: Vandelin and anyone else!
WHAT: Concussions. (Among other things.)
WHEN: Any time during the month.
WHERE: The library and the clinic.
NOTES: Always happy to add another starter!

1. Library

There's very little that Vandelin actually misses about the Circle, and still less that he would ever admit to missing--but the one thing he'd appreciate having back, even if he'd never cop to it, is a library that accommodates short people well. Perhaps Hasmal's library had been designed by an elven mage, or perhaps its low shelves and abundant stepladders were simply coincidental conveniences, but he'd never had any trouble reaching a book he wanted back there.

Well, there's nothing for it. He's not about to just ask someone for help. Checking carefully to make sure nobody's watching, he places a chair in front of the shelf, stacks a couple thick textbooks on top of it, and gets climbing.

2. Clinic

The chair had looked stable. Vandelin will maintain until his dying day that his makeshift stepladder had been a perfectly decent idea while it lasted. He has, in fact, been insisting this all the way to the clinic, with slightly slurred words, to the annoyance of the guy who's taken it upon himself to escort the poor concussed elf there so that he isn't wandering aimlessly around Darktown with a huge target on his back.

The walk has at least done him a bit of good, and he is slightly more lucid when he makes his way through the door, off-balance and bruised and leaning on his staff. "Is there a...wait, or can I just see a healer?"

3. Wildcard

Surprise me!

That is not, as a matter of fact, a solution Vandelin has considered yet, and it wouldn't have occurred to him on his own.

"I'm not used to doing that kind of precision work with it," he muses, "but...it's worth a shot. We might just have to be prepared for about five of them to fall on our heads. Think it's a risk we should take?"

Because he totally will. This seems like acceptable collateral damage.

Inessa doesn't seem to share that opinion, gesturing for him to join her level. "Or one of us could make the attempt, while the other shields us with a Barrier spell? I would volunteer, since I have managed before. There's still the risk of a mess, but at least we won't have to add concussions to the aftermath."
