As you go about your studies, training and other daily duties you hear the familiar sound of third chime. But today the chime means something different than it has before; today it is calling to you. You drop whatever you’re doing and begin your trek to the assembly room. On your way there you see many other adventures wondering the humongous halls of the Academy. Some fall in place beside you as you march purposefully along. This is an important day for all of the new heroes. It’s the first day that you will be eligible to take an assignment for the Academy; your first day to give something back to the world.
Before long you find yourself in front of the huge double doors for the assembly room, you r feet carrying you ever closer to hat moment you’ve been waiting for. At long last you cross the threshold and look around the circular room, lingering on the domed ceiling far above. That ceiling holds murals of the greatest heroes in all the lands. Heroes that were trained at the Academy, just like you, and if you are good enough someday you may well grace that ceiling. You take a moment to imagine yourself in one of the huge panels with some starry-eyed youth gazing up at you. Today you take your first step to being immortalized for all time. The rest of the room is no less opulent than the ceiling with its high gloss marble floors and tapestries adorning the walls. In the center of the room lies a dais upon which stands the headmaster of the Academy, and Jodias the Master of Scrolls. You stop with the rest of the students gathered at a well-polished black marble railing. You find yourself looking past the headmaster to the other students gathered. You’ve trained and studied beside most of them, and now you are ready to take the first Job. After a moment the headmaster makes a few motions with his hands and the doors gently close.
He speaks to you then in a soft yet authoritative voice, “Welcome young heroes. Today you will do that which you have been trained to do. You will be taking your first job for the Academy and bettering the world in which we live. From this day forth Jodias will be your contact for taking jobs. As your studies allow you will check with him to take on missions. For now, I leave you to him; much success on your first job. Farewell, I’ll be watching over you all.” He then folds his hands into his sleeves and a gateway opens beside him. He steps through and the gate closes. You are left with Jodias.
From what you know of him, Jodias is usually all business, and he doesn’t take much time to reinforce that in your mind.
“Good morning students. Today you will receive your first job. The way it works is that I will tell you about the missions, and you will then volunteer for whatever mission best suits your skills. So, without further ado, I will need five volunteers willing to guard a group of monks during a yearly meditation.” You see four other students in the room raise their hands as you raise yours. “Very well, you five will report to Fen Sho at his academy. Here is a map to his location. Additionally, you each get one of these,” he hands each of you purse that clinks with the sound of coins (200gp), “to purchase whatever you need before leaving Justica. This will be you’re adventuring gear from here on out, so take on whatever you are going to need. Might I also recommend that you purchase steeds, as our clients prefer that you assist them in a timely manner.”
As you file out of the room you hear other students taking other jobs, but soon you are back in the halls heading for the dorms. You agree to meet back up at the west road at five chimes.

Take time now to purchase any gear you need from the PHB, and post it (including remaining gold, if any) to the character that you’re using. They will be updated at a later time to reflect the changes. When completed please post here so that I know that your characters are ready to ride.
Characters are posted in the order they were chosen: (Sorry guys there were two duplicates that defaulted to your secondary. Apparently you have similar tastes.)
-Wizard – Pre Gen #8
-Fangor77 - Pre Gen #12
-drowling - Pre Gen #16
-Xariach - Pre Gen #4
-BluSpecs - Pre Gen #22
{EDIT: Sorry guys I goofed. Xariach wanted #4, not #14. Game on.}
