Adventure Awaits... if you dare by Gary Harper

This was the dangerous part. Gary wound his way through the garden's labyrinth to the gazebo. He eyed it warily as he approached. Entering cautiously, the stuck a piece of paper to the ceiling where it could be seen, but not easily. After that he quickly departs.

Upon the paper is written in an attempt at fancy script:

Calling any adventurous souls, your help is desperately required!
Port Toli is under assault from an unknown malevolent entity known
only as 'Blackfang'. Mayor Danita Liviana is offering a considerable
award to anyone brave enough to put an end to the threat. Is that
person you? Have you the skills and courage to end Port Toli's plight?
Danger awaits those who set forth, be warned...

I'm attempting to get a group together to play some Dungeons & Dragons.
If you are not familiar with the game, it is a collaborative story-
telling game that takes place in a medieval fantasy world filled with
knights, wizards, goblins and dragons. Each player has a character that
they control and use to interact with the world and story as presented
by the game master (that's me). The players use their characters to
have exciting adventures, save the day, and we all still get to make
it back in time for potions class.

Ideally four or five players is best, so to that end this paper is your
ticket to a player seat at the table. I've posted four more around the
school, each one grants a different character. This one is for the halfling
rogue, whose name and gender are up to you. They are the cunning, stealthy,
treasure-seeking members of society, who's wide array of skills often come
in quite handy.

If you would like to play using the rogue character, bring me this
invitation. If you're curious, but not sure you want to actually play,
feel free to just hunt me down to chat and leave this notice for another.
If you'd like to play something other than a rogue... find one of the
other invitations before they're taken.

Gary Harper, 2nd year Aladren.

Consider me intrigued. by Lily Spencer

The Labyrinth Gardens was one place Lily knew the ins and outs of without question. Since her first year, when she and Jozua played monsters and knights and all sorts of other games, she had scoured the gardens, finding every hiding place, fountain, benches and magical creatures until there was almost no mystery to it anymore. Now, as a fifth year, she didn't play pretend quite as often, but she still considered the gardens her space.

With her book bag on her shoulder, she made her way to the gazebo. Lily had loads of reading to do already for her classes and she could not allow herself to fall behind again. This year she had CATS, and if she didn't do well on her CATS she would most certainly not be able to move on to certain advanced courses and her parents would skin her alive. Metaphorically, of course. She ran her fingers along the hedges, pulling away from the spots that were particularly prone to hiding magical creatures, and finally made it to her haven.

Lily dropped her bag onto the bench and sat down, taking a moment to relax. She leant her head against the back of the bench and then noticed a piece of paper stuck to the ceiling. Curious, Lily summoned it with her wand and it floated into her hand. The first line intrigued her, and she continued reading the long description, growing more and more curious as she went on.

It didn't sound like a physical adventure, but an adventure nonetheless, this time as a rogue character. "Jozua would love this," she said to herself. "I hope he finds one." Maybe she could find another advert and take it for her best friend. Regardless of whatever was happening between them right now, he was still and would always be her partner-in-adventure. However, instead of jumping up and abandoning her plans for the day to find him, she decided to stay with her schedule and groaned as she yanked her textbook out of her bag.
