Turn 4: Explain your way out of this one.
Panel 1:
You head to your parents house to
drop off the firewood and eat some dinner. You are in the outskirts of the village at the moment, the road heading to the
east goes into the
village center while the road to the
west goes over the
mountains. Your families home and the
Gerbson home are located in this area. Apart from the houses
there is a lot of long grass around and
patches of corn here and there. Your family
grows the corn in patches like this to avoid taxes. Since the village came under the juristiction of Turst (the large city south of here) a few years ago there has been a tax on owning a farm, so
you just plant patches here and there so you can get away with saying that it grows naturaly. No one believes it of course but the mayor doesn't want you to starve so
he lets it slide.Panel 2:
Your
Father, Mother and
two younger brothers are here.
You have two older siblings but they left when
they were your age, the
eldest is your brother
Doglarn who went off to join the
military. The last letter you recieved from him was a month ago when he was
suppressing the goblin tribes to the west. The second oldest is your sister
Urn who went to Turst to try and get an
education, you haven't heard from her since
she left last year.Oh no, your father has that
'where the hell were you' look in his eyes.
"
Why did you take so long, boy?"
Well, you had better think of something or
suspicion might be raised.
Author Notes:
Everyone seems pretty keen to get into the actual necromancy but I still have some stuff I want to get out of the way first so hang in there.
I thought about it and giving you three words to sum up the personality of the spirit is a bit too easily exploitable. I might drop it down to one or make it detract from the spirits actual power somehow to balance things out.
