4803: A BRAWL AT THE KROKT TOWER
First-years attacked by ‘live chest’
What started as a typical afternoon for the first year students of the Krokt Tower ended with a vicious fight in the middle of their common room when the chest that once contained all of their uniforms unexpectedly ‘came to life’.
The five students who were directly involved in the conflict were unable (or perhaps unwilling) to provide further details on the matter. The remains of the chest were retrieved and taken to Lorehold campus for examination, yet the cause of its sudden sentience remains a mystery.
“I don’t know anythin’ about it. I didn’ sleep there that night. Never mind why!” said one of their housemates. “Monster?! W-What d’you mean monster?! Like a Gruff-sized one or a Humperdink-sized one?!” said another.
Only one other housemate was home during the incident. When asked if she had witnessed any of it, her ominous response was: “Piss off.”
Out of respect for their privacy, the names of the involved individuals shall not be disclosed to the public. However, an insider revealed that one of the students happens to be sponsored by Lorehold’s Professor Mirsha Gahlván. Another is the offspring of two of Whiterbloom’s swamp keepers. Two of them were Guild-sponsored Ravnikans. And the fifth is a student from a well-known noble family that is closely affiliated with Strixhaven.
Resident Assistant Nora Ann Wu and the Strixhaven Dragonsguard arrived just moments after the fight took place. They discovered the Krokt Tower common room in horrid condition; scorch marks over the tables, books that had been torn apart, and the chest in the middle of the floor, broken into pieces. No proof was found of it ever being alive.
When asked what this meant for the safety of the first-years, Wu shared: “We’re expanding security around the first-year towers & hope to find out more about those responsible for this.”
