Well, if she can imbue magic into the items that she makes...

And please, let her make stuff for herself, minions without job satisfaction are such a nuisance...

[Koliup]

Also, as someone stated, we should eat, drink, then hit the shop.
After asking Olof what is going on with the skeletons.

[Evil Lincoln]

Turn 36: Going to the shops.

Panel 1:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Mayard: "I had to make Edgar strong Shelby. So he could support you better."
Shelby: "Alright then Mayard. You had better not let me down magic boy."
Edgar: "Don't worry man, you totally have my word th-""

While the skeletons talk to eachother you take the oppotunity to empty your bag of all those berries and talk to Olof about what is going on.

Mayard: "They seem more spirited then they should be."
Olof: "You've exeeded your limit Mayard. You no longer have complete control over them."
Mayard: "Oh. Can I increase my limit?"
Olof: "You'll become more used to controlling spirits as you get more practice."
Mayard: "Alright then. I guess I should go into town and buy the oil and salt then, then all you have to do is pick someone to take possess."
Olof: "Yes. I'm not sure who's body I want yet, probabley not someone from around here. Since i'm going to have to live with the body for quite a while I don't want just any tramp off the street."

Panel 2:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You collect the rest of your copper coins from under the barrel and get the silver coin in the basment. Then you eat some of the berries and water.

You tell Shelby, Edgar and Gurdy that they can go on both floors of the house but can't leave. If someone comes they should hide in the basment and remain silent. Then you head off to the village.

Panel 3:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You see Gain outside the Inn/tavern/shop.

Mayard: "Hello again Gain."
Gain: "Hello Mayard, I was just getting some fresh air. What brings you back."
Mayard: "I just need to buy a few things"
Gain: "Alright then."

Panel 4:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Mayard: "Where is everyone?"
Gain: "No ones taking a break from work today. I don't even think anyone is working at all today. Everyone is riled up about this grouge business. They're all down at the hall, Calline just left for there. I stayed behind to watch things of course."

Gain gets some things out from behind the counter.

The first two pictures don't make much sense compared to the text, so just try to ignore that.

EDIT: apart from what you want to buy i'd also like to know how much your enjoying the adventure. And is there a peticular place you want this to go. Mayard wandering the countryside burning villagers and raising an undead army (even though that would be pretty out of character(unless he went a tad bit insane)), exploring ruins and looting temples with a crack team of undead minions, being a vigilante crime fighting super team, try to earn necromancers good PR so you can openly perform your dark arts and not be torn to shreds by guards or just going with whatever I decide should happen.

Was gonna vote for the more conservative shopping, but god damn I want an update.

[Evil Lincoln]

Turn 37: When the bell tolls.

Panel 1:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You purchase 3 pots, oil, a salt pot, a cloak, a belt and a map.
You take no time putting on your shiney new belt but you put the cloak into your bag with the rest of your purchases since that would require drawing Mayard with a cloak it's not really the weather for it.

Gain: "Was that all you wanted?"
Mayard: "What I wanted and more."
Gain: "Ah ha, yes a pocket full of coin lasts as long as a bag of gold."
Mayard: "Hahaha."
Gain: "Speaking of which where did you get that coin? I havn't seen you doing any wo-"



The sound of the village bell rings in the air.



Gain: "Oh god no. That's the attack bell. Quick Mayard we have to get to the hall."

Panel 2:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Gain pulls a sword and shield from under the counter and heads towards the door.

Gain: "Come on."

Do as he says? >___________

Since no one answered this last time (probabley since the update wasn't even  up for an hour before being replaced) I'll put it in again.

Apart from what you want to buy i'd also like to know how much your enjoying the adventure. And is there a peticular place you want this to go? Mayard wandering the countryside burning villagers and raising an undead army (even though that would be pretty out of character(unless he went a tad bit insane)), exploring ruins and looting temples with a crack team of undead minions, being a vigilante crime fighting super team, try to earn necromancers good PR so you can openly perform your dark arts and not be torn to shreds by guards. In other words: What should Mayard do with his powers?

Also Gain isn't actually out of stock for those items, I just thought it'd be funny.

Was gonna vote for the more conservative shopping, but god damn I want an update.

Was it worth it?

[Koliup]

Sorry, people don't always read the notes. And yes, it was worth it. While I don't speak for everyone, I'm not sure what route we should take. After we help Olof, we should bug him to teach us everything. And then I guess go rampaging about the countryside like a skeleton toting anti-highwayman. Below spoiler is a little long winded, but continues these thoughts.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It seems to me the way necromancy works is that it's geared more towards a few super undead(weak ones not being worth it), with groups of imps about 5-10 strong(or more). Essentially a necromancer(at our current level!!) is an individual lieutenant commanding a group of imps/a trio of skeletons, in massed combat. And so trying to conquer a mass of land is nearly impossible, at our level. Our best bet should probably be trying to get the rest of that armor(you know you want to), and then being a necromancer superhero, or necromancy for fun and profit(tomb robbing).
But we should ask Olof what he's going to do when he gets a new body. I'm not sure if I'm getting BBEG or selfish bastard vibes from him, or both. It's really distracting.

Also, this is close to supplanting Demonhood as my favorite forum game of all time. Mostly because Demonhood is dead. For now.
EDIT: One last note; we should see if we can mentally contact Olof. Might work, might not. If we do, we oughta tell him to get everyone(and all the loot) into the basement.

[RAM]

Wow, I thought that I did read the note, but missed that completely, oh well...

Well, I for one would like to gather a social-outcast adventuring party. We already have a necromancer and grouges(That feels wrong, grougi, grouga?) seem to be similar to classic monstrous barbarian-folk, like orcs, ogres, trolls, and various beast-folk from other settings. We can probably dig up some sort of mischievous fairy or something, the sort of thing that spawns stories of children being lured into the forest in the dead of night, never to be heard from again, that would have been hunted to extinction if anyone could find them. And then we would probably wnt some sort of proper monster, perhaps we could keep a pet hydra or something. Its habit of chewing bones might not mix well with the help however...
 We could travel the world, seeking out communities that lacked the means to help themselves and the status to be helped by others. We could find the desperate and save them, becoming folk heroes and hiding from the authorities. And the odd dungeon crawl should keep us in business...

P.S.
 Olof can probably haunt our home enough to keep invaders discouraged, and going there would seem more likely to attract attention to the place than protect it. I suggest staying with the heavily-armed individual until the crisis has passed.

[NRDL]

Cool update, I don't know where we should take Mayard.  Yes, follow the guy, but as for character development...

I guess we make it up as we go along.  Make decisions based on Mayard's character.  We CAN make him more evil, but yeah, such a thing would require a traumatic event, possibly triggering hate, which leads to the dark side.
