=====Dialogue=====

> (300) Headmaster J.E. Trevelyan: Ah, you must be a newcomer here? Welcome to Thornhill's Academy of Masters, I am Headmaster Trevelyan. Let's get the formalities out of the way, I presume you come seeking knowledge? I must warn you, we do not let just anyone study here, there are standards that must be met.((Requires phase 0 of [[quest:tribulations_of_higher_education|Tribulations of Higher Education]]))

>> I am worthy of any knowledge you can offer.  -> (301)

>> The Academy of Masters?  -> (303)

>> Makes sense.  -> (0)

> (301) Headmaster J.E. Trevelyan: So you say, so you say... but here in these prestigious halls I cannot simply take your word for it. First, I must hear a recommendation from each of my Masters to establish a baseline. Do you submit yourself to their examination?

>> Sure, why not.  -> (302)

>> Tell me more about the Academy first.  -> (303)

>> I don't need to prove anything to anyone.  -> (0)

> (303) Headmaster J.E. Trevelyan: You must ask? This is only the most esteemed, the most prestigious, the most venerated and revered center of learning in all the northern woodlands of Imberthale! I'm aware the upstarts in the city of Haywind have set up their own ''college'', if one can call it such. Here in Thornhill, at least, we're aware tradition in learning counts for something.

>> I am worthy of any knowledge you can offer.  -> (301)

>> Interesting.  -> (0)

> (302) Headmaster J.E. Trevelyan: This will take just a moment, I shall summon all of Thornhill's Masters to our garden outside...

>>   -> (0)

> (280) Headmaster J.E. Trevelyan: Hmm... Regretfully, some of my instructors are of the mind that you are simply not ready for the kind of advanced learning we offer here at the Academy of Masters.*You need a minimum of level 25 across all skills to impress the Thornhill Masters.*((Requires phase 0 of [[quest:tribulations_of_higher_education|Tribulations of Higher Education]]))

>> Feels bad...  -> (281)

> (281) Headmaster J.E. Trevelyan: I sense, however, that within you reside the qualities of persistence and perseverance! Those are highly valued attributes by us here at the Academy of Masters. Continue to work on yourself and you may yet pass our strict standards for excellence!

>> Right.  -> (0)

> (290) Headmaster J.E. Trevelyan: My instructors say you show promise, very good... very well...((Requires phase 0 of [[quest:tribulations_of_higher_education|Tribulations of Higher Education]]))

>> So I've access to your trainers now?  -> (291)

> (291) Headmaster J.E. Trevelyan: Hm? No, no, let's not get ahead of ourselves. However, what you have done is earned yourself the chance to prove yourself worthy. Every member of our Academy has proven themselves by carrying out an extraordinary service to our institution...

>> Oh...  -> (292)

> (292) Headmaster J.E. Trevelyan: There is one pressing matter, in fact, with which you might prove most helpful. Our Academy has traditionally received its funding from the city, which under recent rulership has only been cut ever smaller. Now the Lord Mayor has decreed we shall not see a single copper coin unless we demonstrate our value to him.

>>   -> (293)

> (293) Headmaster J.E. Trevelyan: He's heard of cannons built in distant lands and demands we make one for him. Most brutish and uncivilized, if you ask me, but there it is. I sent a fellow, genius of engineering, Norman Osborrow to manage the project. But he's an old man, he will require someone to do the heavy lifting for him - that's where you can help.

>> Cannons... aren't they some sort of myth and legend?  -> (294)

>> So where should I meet Norman?  -> (295)

> (294) Headmaster J.E. Trevelyan: Oh no, I assure you such inventions are quite real, and have been produced to varying degrees of quality in some foreign realms. All it takes is a bit of skill, knowledge and ingenuity. Norman has seen the contraptions with his own eyes and knows them in principle, but he'll need your help with the execution.

>> So where should I meet Norman?  -> (295)

> (295) Headmaster J.E. Trevelyan: The Lord Mayor established a secret site overlooking the bay for the cannon's development, Norman's already there waiting for you. You'll need to ask one of the guards at the Lord Mayor's castle to escort you there - good luck!

>> Very well. Updates [[quest:tribulations_of_higher_education|Tribulations of Higher Education]] to phase 1. -> (0)

> (310) Headmaster J.E. Trevelyan: How goes your work on the cannon research project? I'm afraid we can't share any of our elite knowledge at this Academy until you've proven yourself worthy.((Requires phase 1 of [[quest:tribulations_of_higher_education|Tribulations of Higher Education]]))

>> Remind me, how do I get to the cannon build site?  -> (311)

>> So why do you need my help in building a cannon?  -> (312)

>> What can you tell me about your Academy?  -> (314)

>> I'm working on it.  -> (0)

> (311) Headmaster J.E. Trevelyan: Ah yes, the Lord Mayor is very protective about that. You'll have to meet up with one of his sergeants by Thornhill Castle gates, who'll escort you there. A chap named Almsworth, as I recall.

>> So why do you need my help in building a cannon?  -> (312)

>> What can you tell me about your Academy?  -> (314)

>> I see.  -> (0)

> (312) Headmaster J.E. Trevelyan: Why, it's quite simple. The Lord Mayor has threatened not to lend a single copper coin in funding to the Academy anymore unless we find a way to demonstrate our usefulness to him. He's heard of cannons built in distant lands and demands we make one for him.

>>   -> (313)

> (314) Headmaster J.E. Trevelyan: You must ask? This is only the most esteemed, the most prestigious, the most venerated and revered center of learning in all the northern woodlands of Imberthale! I'm aware the upstarts in the city of Haywind have set up their own ''college'', if one can call it such. Here in Thornhill, at least, we're aware tradition in learning counts for something.

>> I see.  -> (0)

> (313) Headmaster J.E. Trevelyan: I sent a fellow, genius of engineering, Norman Osborrow to manage the project. He'll have come up with blueprints for a cannon for certain but... he's an old man, he will require someone to do the heavy lifting for him. Someone skilled and reliable, which is where you can help. Do this and you'll have proven yourself worthy of the training we offer here.

>> Remind me, how do I get to the cannon build site?  -> (311)

>> What can you tell me about your Academy?  -> (314)

>> I see.  -> (0)

> (320) Headmaster J.E. Trevelyan: I received word your work on the cannon was a great success. The Lord Mayor was very pleased with the results, he's agreed to extend our funding for now. The Academy of Masters thanks you for your service.((Requires phase 4 of [[quest:tribulations_of_higher_education|Tribulations of Higher Education]]))

>> Now have I finally earned membership in your academy?  -> (321)

>> Leave.  -> (0)

> (321) Headmaster J.E. Trevelyan: Most certainly! I've let the instructors know you have been accepted as our newest member, should you wish to approach them for advanced knowledge. As an additional token of appreciation for the great service you performed for us, I had the Master of Alchemy create a recipe you might find most useful. Know that our doors are always open for you!

>> Excellent! Completes [[quest:tribulations_of_higher_education|Tribulations of Higher Education]] quest. -> (0)

> (330) Headmaster J.E. Trevelyan: You are welcomed as a member of our most prestigious academy. The great knowledge we offer is yours, should you wish to learn.((Requires completion [[quest:tribulations_of_higher_education|Tribulations of Higher Education]]))

>> So the Lord Mayor threatened to cut off the Academy's funding?  -> (331)

>> Thanks.  -> (0)

> (331) Headmaster J.E. Trevelyan: Yes, but thanks to you that matter is now resolved. He got his cannon, we get our upkeep... for now. However, I dread to think of the next time he decides to blackmail us for some brutish innovation.

>> Good luck...  -> (0)
