Any alternative ways of getting a necromantic slab? (ANSWERED)
« on: September 21, 2020, 10:36:40 am »

I read that to get a necromantic slab you need to go to a necromancer tower, however, in the part of the world where my adventurer currently is, there's no necromancer towers, so, before i go to the other side of the world for a tower i'll visit just once, i want to know if there's other methods of getting a slab other than in a tower, buying it? finding it in some storage area in a hamlet?

What's the deal with keas? They're cute little birds in real life, but in the game they're just dumb Ks that aren't useful at all!

Tower's your best bet. You can only learn the secret from slabs or books with the secret written on them: most of the time these will be found in necro towers, where the necromancers stored them. Sometimes, extremely rarely, a necromancer will happen to leave a slab lying around in a more accessible place, like a local tavern; or a megabeast or giant will steal one, or a kobold. But that's pretty rare. You're better off making the long journey.

Unless you're in the mood for some Legends diving - check the histories of the world's necromancy slabs/books and see where they've ended up. You might find something more close by.

I've found in my large-world/short-history gens, there's more often than not at least one slab forgotten in some mead-hall or fortress treasurehouse. Is worth checking.

Retire, unretire but add a new member of the party who lives up near the tower. Your adventurer will go join him.
