The first and main location of Bombarded is Strumlotts School of Barding. The School has pretty exclusive admission and only four first year classes - one of which is our bards, Chaos Sauce.
Run by Headmistress Alola Greenspire, it's named after but not founded by Barenthall Strumlott.
Location[]
Beetzart. It can be found at the end of a road, surrounded by a series of lush green rolling hills. It's about half a day south of Lakeridge, where our bards left from to get there.
Features[]
Main Foyer[]
The main double door is made of instruments fused together to form one solid piece. At the other end, there is a much smaller double door.
About halfway through, there's small alcove with a display - the bust of a cheery looking halfling bard, Barenthall Strumlotts, with a lute displayed on it's left side, surrounded by a rainbow hued barrier. Bellow the statue is a plaque which reads:
"This is our best guess as to what Barenthall Strumlotts looked like based off the limited historical documents that were written about him after The Age of Dissonance. Barenthall was one of the few responsible for ending the terrors of that age through the banishment of Gregor Casmore, the leader of the cult that nearly brought the world to its knees. Barenthall spent the rest of his days attempting to collect what little traces of written history and knowledge was left, and despite the limited findings he never ceased his efforts. The whereabouts of Barenthall's resting place are unknown, the last document found in relation to Barenthall says that he headed north to the Terripin islands and was never heard from again. To the left is the only artifact of Barenthall that Strumlotts has been able to obtain. Strumlotts has the efforts of the Bureau of Arcane Regulation to thank for bringing this artifact to us as a gift to our fair school."
Second hall[]
This is a square room lined with chairs with 4 doors branching off from it, including the double door our bards entered in. From left to right, they're labelled resonance hall/rehearsal spaces; dormitory, commissary and cafe; advising offices and storage
Advising Offices and Storage[]
Through this doorway there is a long hallway lined with doors, like a typical teacher offices area. The third door on the right is Brenda's office. Headmistress Alola Greenspire's office is in this hallway, nearby Sanra D's receptionist desk.
Resonance Hall[]
Through the first door, a long hallway curves to the right. It's lined with pictures of fancy looking, honorary bards. At the end of this hallway, there's a main door and a door to the right which leads to various stage entrances. The large performance hall is through the main door. It's centered around the middle of the room with a circular stage with four offstage entrances.
Dorms[]
The dorms in Strumlotts are separated into four spires, each with multiple floors containing multiple "pads". The various spires are all accessed with multiple elevators found in a large common room somewhere in the school. Each spire is named after and designed to look like a different instrument. There are four spires in total, a flute, a clarinet, an oboe, and a bassoon.
Specifically Chaos Sauce's dorm room is Bassoon floor three pad four.
