->"Now, what we're dealing with here is a loose alliance of student fighters from the warrior schools just over the border in Stragonoff. Obviously not much of a match for veteran adventurers like us. They're here because the king of Stragonoff has announced a quest to recover the Stone of Solomus that was left with [[WizardingSchool this college]] by its founders hundreds of years ago. Now, obviously [[BlatantLies we will never surrender the stone to such bully-boy tactics]], but I would ask that I and my fellows be allowed to look after the stone for its protection, and so that it at the enemy for purposes of psychological warfare."
->"We don't have the stone," said the headmaster, as Ponyleaf met his gaze hopefully.
->"You what?"
->"We've only been open six years. [[SubvertedTrope There's no such thing as the Stone of Solomus]]. The king's mad. [[TheCaligula Last year he made his son marry a koi pond]]."

->"Ahh, you're here. Good. We've got a problem. A big one. The controller chip for our water purification system has given up the ghost. Can't make another one and the process is too complicated for a work around system. Simply put, we're running out of drinking water. No water, no Vault. This is crucial to our survival. And frankly, I... I think you're the only hope we have. You need to go find us another controller chip. We estimate we have four to five months before the Vault runs out of water. We need that chip. We marked your map with the location of another Vault. Not a bad place to start, I think. Look, just be safe, OK?"

It was found in the banks of the Amoy River in soutern China and is remarkable in having every characteristic of the carbuncle, save that it is blue in shade instead of ruby red. In spite of its youth, it has already a sinister history. There have been two murders, a vitriol-throwing, a suicide, and several robberies brought about for the sake of this forty-grain weight of crystallised charcoal. Who would think that so pretty a toy would be a purveyor to the gallows and the prison?"''
