Miss Serpentine scratches her chin. "...yes, it would be trivial for them to plant an Agent here as a 'new student.' Good thinking, Daos."
"Still, how can we get to Tympany?" Valerie asks. "Will we just have to wait for all the trolls to be killed?"

"We can help in that, at least," Daos says. "We'll need to be smart, though, and not get overwhelmed by the creatures."

"Yeah, those things hit hard," Caelynn says. "How do you want to go about doing this then?"

"Rely on stealth, ambush tactics, and try to divide and conquer where we can," Daos answers. "Working with the guards, as well."

"Then what do we do first?" Meine wonders. "Find some more guards, I guess?"

"I suppose so," Daos answers. "Just how big is this place anyway?"

"I mean, it's called the Grand Academy," Meine points out.
"There are around 2,000 students enrolled here. I assume it's big enough for all of them," Selena says.

"Well, until we can find some more guards, I can scout ahead a little to warn all of you of upcoming trouble," Caelynn says

"Should I come along? Or scout in a different direction?" Valerie asks.

"Probably safer if you two scout together, in case you run into anything dangerous," Daos remarks.

"Come along then," Caelynn says to Valerie.

Valerie and Caelynn creep ahead, slinking through the shadowy parts of the hallways. Daos, Meine, and Miss Serpentine follow some 60 ft behind them. As the two turn the corner, they see one of the trolls, furiously attempting to bash down a tall steel door with ornate silver decorations. A glimmering magical sign above it reads "Archmage's Quarters." The troll is fixated on the door, and doesn't notice either of them.
Valerie whispers, "What should we do, Caelynn? Attack it before it notices us?"

As they walk about, Daos keeps an eye out. Not just for trolls, though, but to take things in, as well. As a small child, he had dreamed of attending the Grand Academy, but that obviously never worked out. He wonders briefly how differently his life might have turned out, though. When he had last left New Arcadia, he swore he'd never return, but now he's back anyway, and here of all places. At least he can take some solace in knowing that Sombra isn't lurking about at the moment.

"Hey, you look a bit distracted," Meine says to Daos as he observes the Academy.

"Oh, sorry," Daos says, snapping out of it. "I was just thinking, as a kid I had wanted to attend here. My father wouldn't allow it, though. He hated magic."
