Dialogue
Dialogue Scene Name
- Annabel Usher: A fringe benefit of my talents is a heightened secsitivity to the natural world. Particularly when the un-natural puts the boot in.
- Annabel Usher: When the trouble started, some of the staff made a break for the river. Trained magi who could take care of themselves. But, something what waiting for them. Nothing... natural. It's still out there.
- Annabel Usher: Carter and I have had the same dream, and it's a doozy. The harvest at Henderson's farm, swollen and churning with larvae and disease. Like those dead traumatising time-lapse documentaries.
- Hayden Montag: Ah, Archibald Henderson's murderous legacy. It is another weft in the fascinatingly grim weave of Solomon Island history.
- Annabel Usher: There is a lot of seriously bad shite omitted from my coy of the school prospectus.
- Hayden Montag: The academy had absolutely no truch with his creations. Initilly. During his life. He was a magus, but at heart a simple farmer. Likely barely able to comprehend, let alone control, his messy undoing.
- Annabel Usher: I come from an agricultural family.
- Carter: Yeah, my parents grow sunflowers.
- Hayden Montag: I sense this situation is... socially awkward?
- Annabel Usher: Ach, no, not more than usual, to be fair.

Report
Dragon
Evolution has teeth, and currently those teeth are the ridges of Solomon Island. The scholars who tried to escape – each a certified magus – fell prey to panic. And so they deserved to die.
This is good news. Better a pile of dead cowardly magi than a band of powerful traitors. Initially, that was our suspicion.
Learn from their mistakes. Do not panic and try to flee the island. That is what the island wants. Stick to the roof of its mouth. Wait, and it will spit you out.
Illuminati
Say what you want about H.J. but his willingness to go down with the ship is second to none. Which is more than you can say for the rest of the staff, jumping ship at the first sign of taking on water. Good help always has been hard to find.
Now we can, at the very least, cross a few names off the "missing persons of note" list and save the Magicians a few hours of overtime.
As for Archie's murderous legacy - it's responsible for a lot of butchering out there. But let's not pin everything on Archie. Not yet.

Archibald Henderson's sackcloth creations likely butchered a great number of the fleeing staff, but let's not go so far as to blame his nightmares for everything. Those who rowed urgently from the shore clearly had more than scarecrows to contend with.
Each of the academy staff was a certified magus. That they weren't able to put up more of a fight is terribly disconcerting. At least now we know they weren't turncoats. Merely incompetent cowards.
The teaching profession simply isn't what it used to be.
