"Excuse me, what is going on here?" you ask as you walk up to the older man in the red robe. The two mages exchange one last quick glance at each other and the woman in the blue robe walks off. "Hmph, don't mind her, dearie. She's just upset that her theory had about a dozen holes punched through it by my superior intellect." the man replies as he turns to look over the charred remains of the goblin. "Can you you believe she thought that this goblin was struck by lightning? Indoors? Why, the fine folks over at the indoor shock study department should be quite offended at such a baseless allegation! Oh, my name is Rodrick by the way."
You raise an eyebrow as you look over the wrecked metal parts surrounding the goblin's remains. "Yeah, this guy looks like something a lot stronger than lighting hit him." you reply as you take a step back from the nasty burning smell. Rodrick laughs and slaps you gently on the back. "Right? Of course!" he says with unexpected excitement. "This poor fellow was clearly undone by an exploding steamcore automation from the boilerworks division! I'm glad to see a fellow mind of such caliber at this fine institution!"
You smile and rub the back of your head as you take another look at the burnt goblin. "Uh yeah, thanks. Listen, I'm still pretty new here and I don't want to be late. See you later." you reply as you begin to walk down the hall. "Ah yes, I look forward to our next encounter! Good day to you, young scholar!" he yells back as you hasten your pace a bit. Time to head to your station and get some work done...but what are you going to work on?
