Sunny attempts to respond to the detonation, but is fully caught in the explosion. Sunny is sent flying in a stream of blue smoke as he crashes through another stain glass window of the nearby lecture hall. There is a loud crash and dozens of other students rush out of the hall. The group finds the badger bruised and battered, but still conscious in the wreckage of a bookcase.

Sunny clambers to his feet as the golden light of his rage ebbs. He shakes his head, then his tongue lolls wolf-like in his exhaustion (I imagine that he's a little soot-stained?). He does his best to hide his limp as he gathers up his halberd and javelins.
"Cussing little blob! It didn't even have the manners to leave some meat behind." He snuffs some residual goo and crinkles his snout. "I am sure there is absolutely nothing more to this story or wayward magicians who are responsible. We were about to find some lunch, right?"
Alijurn pulls a piece of cloth from a pocket and starts wiping away some of the dirt and dust covering his armour after the battle. "The lunch can wait. Ashe, would you please lead the way?"

As Sunny gets up, and you all leave the lecture hall, you see that a large group of students have gathered around the... uh... dust-like remains of the beast. There is quite the rabble.

As Sunny shouts that, the group of students looks up toward your group. One of them waves to a nearby set of campus guards. The guards visibly sigh as they make their way toward you all. Both are humanoid and wearing helmets that cover their faces for the most part. One of them speaks up, “Afternoon. So, you lot are the ones that... took care of that floating eyed monster?”

"We did." Dahme'dre answers calmly as she pulls the ribbon from her hair, letting it fall gracefully over her shoulders as her eyes return to a soft blue glow.
The guard takes down some notes before his compatriot answers, “Good, makes things easy. First, we appreciate the help. Pikes ain’t much good against... whatever that is. Evidently, while the big ol’ beastie was their, failed mind you, ‘group project,’ and those mini little things were some of their familiars. Needless to say, their a bit incensed at your, and I’m quoting them here, ‘flagrant sabotage of the arcane sciences.’ Frankly, sounds like a bunch of whining to me. So, me and my friend here are gonna make a show of it. In a second, I’m gonna start shouting and pointing. Anywhere you guys want us to escort you? Nothing more dangerous than teenage magic users with a petty grudge, best to get clear of them.”

"We were just on our way to speak to the diviners at the Highward College." Dahme'dre replies with a nod toward Ashe. "But it would definately be wise to take an hour or two to rest, is there a cafeteria nearby?"
The guard nods, “Alright, sounds good. There’s a food strip at the pavilion nearby, we’ll drop you guys off there, sound good?” Assuming yes, he continues, “Alright, now look intimidated.” He clears his throat,
”THATS RIGHT, I DONT CARE WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY! THESE POOR STUDENTS ARE JUST TRYING TO GET BY AND YOU SHOW UP AND WRECK THEIR HARD WORK! (are they looking? Ok, good.) PREPARE TO FACE THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW FOR SUCH CRIMES (not even slightly a crime), BOOK ‘EM TREVOR!”
It takes a minute (like, a literal minute) but realization spreads like honey across Sunny's blood-spattered face. He grabs the first guard by his lapels (?) and pulls the man's face close to his own. He lets loose a snarl, then whispers menacingly, "I am very good at subterfuge. Take me to food, please."
"Do you know who we are!" Dahme'dre shouts, "Take us to your superiors! We'll have your jobs for this!" She flares her eyes to a bright crimson red as a gust raises her cloak and hair menacingly around her. (Deception: (1)Unable to parse dice roll.)
The guard, who is still held aloft by Sunny, raises a finger in response to the... show and whispers, “Uh... listen... thanks for wanting to help sell it but... I think you guys misunderstood me. You’re supposed to look intimidated, not intimidating. Can you set me down.”
Sunny (who is still down to 10HP, btw) drops the guard. He turns solemnly to Dahme'dre, then extends one of his surprisingly long arms in front of her. "Wait, magician. These guards are very, very strong. I... uh... I sensed it with my animal instincts. We should follow them meekly to wherever they take us or... you know, they'll kill us?" He turns to the students. "You are lucky these protectors are here to... protect you. You owe them a great debt."
Everyone seems confused and scared in equal measure. Nevertheless, the guard starts pushing the group down the path, “Alright, that’s enough outta you. (Do you people know the meaning of ‘just go along with it.)’” After a bit of walking, your group makes it to the other side of campus, where there is a rich and varied outdoor food court. Really, even the quality here displays how “prestigious” the Highward College is.

Meanwhile, the guards dust off their clothes a bit, “Well, that should be out of the immediate danger range of petty powertrips. The School of Divination should be right down that lane, big building, gaudy eye, can’t miss it. Anyway, try to just stay clear of everything that... well, yeah, actually just stay clear of everything. If you need us and we’re around, don’t be afraid to ask.

"Honey, down please," Ashe lays a hand on his upper arm and pulls out a shortbread cookie from a shimmery bag. It looks quite pristine and lacks any bag lint! Wow! "For you dearie."She tosses it casually toward Sunny's face. The half-dark elf smiles favorably to the campus guards. "Thank you fine gentlemen for the escort. We will bid you adieu.

Looking down the path toward the school building, Ashe wonders who, if any, of her colleagues might be about. Could she tell them the truth?
