Turn 2: I, for one, welcome our demon overlords
Edarath Valion
Action: Search the Library on Elementals, preferably those on the Fire element.
Result: Realizing that your old tome doesn`t concern itself with the summoning of interesting demons you go to the library in search for a tome on elementals. The mess caused by your fellow wizard has been cleaned- The servants of lord Felsenstein really pay attention. Apparently the former court mage wasn`t interested in elementals for you find only one book that concerns itself with them. [Roll:4] You open a chapter that lists some fire elementals and you find the following:
Banrr: A fire elemental of moderate strength. Even less intelligent than normal elementals but pretty obedient.
Mosew'nd: An unusually intelligent fire demon of average strength.
Hin'hat'iash: A strong fire elemental. Caused some wildfires on the occasions he was summoned.
Narvendar Wėrtel
Action: Use the pre-existing pentacles to summon Kemukira. If successful, check for his friendliness.
Result: Now it`s the time to get something done. You have studied the nature, the various names and the powers of the ghouls and have decided to summon Kemukira. You put everything in place- You light the right candles, you burn the right herbs on a brazier and you prepare the necessary spell- An old latin one. Your mind fixed to the task you enter the pentacle and start to recite the spell- It takes only around five minutes, but it taxes your concentration heavily. And then.. The pentacle glows softly, the stench of sulphur and rot fills the room and Kemukira appears. [Roll:5]
The Demon looks exactly like you. He even wears the same clothes- But they are slashed, ruined and soiled with blood and excrement.. His body appears to be rotten and dead, a grizzly wound mars his chest. Within a rotten black heart can be seen. Graveworms wiggle around in empty eye sockets.
"How may i serve?" Kemukira asks, his voice sounding like a death rattle. Graveworms drop to the floor only to burrow themselves again into the soft flesh of his feet. Well, how does one exactly check for a demons friendliness? You have learned that no demon should ever be trusted.
Klaus StrickmannAction: Go upstairs to my room and practice, practice, practice the binding of Fisrusk.
Result: You prepare the binding of Fisrusk. It takes several hours but you are now confident that you will be able to summon him.
Ander FlaskoAction: Make two new pentagrams out of random Geometric symbols in a pattern. If I get lucky they should work as glyphs.
Result: You draw two new pentacles [Roll result: Hidden]- You even try to improvise glyphs, by drawing combinations of neat geometric figures. You don`t know whether those will work- But it looks pretty. [Roll result: Hidden[
Conchobar Abrazand
Action: Head back to the castle, stopping by the library to learn the names of a few demons, then get to work fashioning a bone amulet in the shape of a cyclopean skull, with teeth of quartz and a single ruby eye.
Result: After the generosity of the townspeople luck smiles upon you once again! While searching for the names of demons you stumble over an old book- Seemingly untouched for years, but containing much information. [Roll: 6] You mark some demons that seem to be a good choice. Back in your room you try to craft a cyclopean skull out of the bones and your ruby, surely it will be a masterwork! [Roll: 2] But fail. You find absolutely no way to fix the bones together. Your failure irritates you- Anger Roll [1] and in your fury you smash the bones against the wall, destroying them!
Demons:
Devoraw: A strong Ghoul. He is a bad shapeshifter- But is adept at using curses that cause sickness.
Ackiard: A Imp. Pretty obedient.
Ightatem: Another Imp. This one can even cast weak fire magic, but is especially mischievous.
Awsamest: A Gargoyle. He is a good fighter, but pretty dumb.
Or'it: A weak cockatrice. It likes to twist the words of it`s summoner even more so than usual.
Renzo Pagliacci
Action: Go to the library and research ghouls and imps, looking for any with attacking or defensive powers.
Result: The good books seem to be already taken- But you manage to find some ghouls with offensive or defensive powers- No Imps, those are too weak. [Roll: 4]
Echelt'l: A strong ghoul who can cast a reliable shielding spell.
Qual: A ghoul with bad fighting abilities; But he can cast some offensive spells.
Shoen: A weak ghoul. He has some anger issues, but can cast some disabling spells.

Name: Klaus Strickmann
Appearance: A shorter-than-average man with a square chin and a clean-shaven head. His manner of speech is notable in that it's as flowery as an arctic quarry - or, in other words, drier than Hell.
Biography: If this world's psychology was sufficiently developed at the time, Klaus would have been called a high-functioning autist by its adepts. But there wasn't even such a thing as 'psychology' when Klaus came to be an apprentice, and so he was known to his master and peers as a somewhat weird, incredibly pedantic, and yet a gifted boy whose unwavering focus and unrelenting discipline far outweighed his lack of interpersonal skills.
Klaus spent nearly all his time in a self-imposed seclusion in his master's tower, not too interested with the outside world's facts and happenings, fully submerged in the academic atmosphere of arcane research. However, when he became a Wizard, Klaus had to throw away the sweet purposefulness of apprenticeship and finally embrace his illusions of grandeur: to get to the apex of perfection, he absolutely had to go out and get some large-scale summoning practice. Adventuring oughta be better than sitting in the tower reading books all day, right?
