Wild Beasts Lesson:  Basic Moonbeast Habitat with Master Heikregg

Step lively, please, and keep an eye to the ground for fresh spoor.  The Moonbeast is a longtime resident of our campus, and is of course a well-known hazard to our more appetizing students, but he is believed to be nocturnal, as no one has ever spotted him during classtime hours.  Of course, we can’t prove that, as we’ve never successfully tracked him to his lair—unless one of you sharp-eyed young people manages that today!  Like you, young Hepworth.  Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed!  Sleep deeply last night?  Tell me, do you usually leave your window open?

Actually a valid lesson this time.

Get it of me! Get it of me! I’ve studied the moonbeast closely (Closer than I had hoped.).

Ah, the magnificent moonbeast. A fascinating creature and, from the book I’m studying, delicious with rice.

The ideal opportunity to try out my new reflective anorthosite lamp! I’ll just get my hiking boots on.

Keeping my eyes peeled for the Moonbeast. Metaphorically speaking.

I see it! ...no, that’s a tree.

Aha!

I’ll just go study then.

I join the class, then perform my best Wild Moonbeast mating call. An enraged Moonbeast bursts into the class, chasing my fellow students everywhere, and DISRUPTING the class. My work here is done.

It’s a Basic class, you can’t disrupt it. And you can only disrupt the most recent three Students to have studied, anyway, as of four hours ago. (“If a Student Disrupts an Intermediate or Advanced Lesson, they may set their Grade in that Lesson’s Subject to ‘F’, and decrement (to a minimum of “E”) the Grade in that Subject of up to 3 Students who have Studied most recently in the lesson.”)

Ambisinister:

It’s a basic lesson, I do not believe they are susceptible to disruptive antics per rule 2.5, and even if you were able to disrupt it, it would only effect the three most recent students, not the whole class.

Rule 2.5 doesn’t state what happens if you try and disrupt a basic lesson, only intermediate and advanced ones, so I’m not sure you even get an F or have a grudge leveled against you.

He gets a grudge but no F.  I’ve undone the Disruption effects in the GNDT.

Sorry i didn’t realize those changes had all been applied to the rules already. My bad.

At any rate, this lesson is now ended.  Survivors please make your way back to the bobbing lantern as best you can.
