Dothki Realised That he should take this opportunity to Add some souls to Elena, to increase her raw strength and power. Calling upon his powers he he Drags a handful of Souls from the abyss and binds them to elena's form and link them to his necromatic bond. Elena has gained four (4) souls and forty (40) powerpoints. She has become slightly uncoordinated. This should fade after a while.
Dothki decides to keep the Handy haversack for himself, After all He Paid for it.

Soul augmentation is like fishing, You don't get to choose what you catch. You'll almost certainly get some insane mindless soul with no personality.
If you want a new soul possessing a personality and knowledge of it's previous life you have to take from someone who was killed recently in a special way or rip it out of someone who's still alive. Sorta like what you did to arven.
And with the personalities you want you already have most of them... sorta. The Thief is also a spy of sorts, and is good at manipulating and seducing people in order to find secrets, The psycho and the strategist were both in the army, Though the psycho got kicked out of the army. The strategist, was also a politian of sorts so he has a touch of Machiavelli in him. And the gentle one was a socialite. I actually have the rough outline of a backstory for all those souls. How/where/when they lived what signifigant events happened in their lives and how they died.

((I assumed the lab stocked souls extracted in some of those ways since presumably they have some uses other than flesh golems?))

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

Nope you got to get your own souls. The college does keep some souls in special containers called "students" but Zarg would be pissed I f you started killing law abiding citizens without a good reason. It's a little hard to store souls when they have no substance. Its not worth it to go through enchanting the bottle or box or shiny rock when you can just pull them out of the ether at will.

Given enough time, is it possible to 'catch and release', by summoning souls from the void, dismissing the less desirable ones, than repeating the process, gradually replacing the souls with better ones? (Of course, this would give diminishing returns as the quality of your lesser souls rises above average, but the process would likely still get you to that point.)

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

Your necromancer Took the rest of the day working on you and it's now night. It may be worth influencing the fool to take you to the Diplomatic Gala, So you may seek some advantageous meetings. With the strength and beauty of this body, paired with your superior Intellect, You should be able to gain much from the event. Now it's just a matter of convincing the mad souls you share this body with to go along with your plan. IF you do go Dothki will need to buy a new robe, His current one is a little to shabby for high society. You'll also neeed to decide what equipment you'll take with you. As AOM you could get away with full armour and weapons, but perhaps it would be better to not stick out.

Go to Gala
Don't go to Gala.

Yeah you could catch and release. But that would take a large amount of time. It might be better to wait until you find a suitable foe and then rip out thier soul. Souls taken in this manner may be more powerful then souls gained in more conventional ways (20-30 powerpoints per soul rather then the standard 10). The question is for what reason would you come across such foes. Noone hates you, except ████████████████████ and their highly trained, expensive mercenaries, plus the churches and all thier priests and paladins. And since you work for Zarg anyone who hates him is going to try to kill you to spite him. Wow, never knew you had so many enemies.

At the gala, at the gala, that's were we're going to be, man-i-pu-late and in-fil-trate and smile with lots of glee!

Don't wear any armour, and only bring what weapons or useful equipment you can hide in your belly. Dot can just keep out of the way and say he's there to guard something unspecified and not actually a guest, which is true in a sense.

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

After influencing Dothki to buy some Nicer robes, that won't get laughed at you put on you nice dress, making sure your arms a inexplicably hidden away. They are Completly hidden and ever in the most revealing of clothes (read naked) would take an autopsy to find.

Before leaving you take your two steel daggers, You coil of rope, the State badge, And 16 darts, 6 coated in each poison and 4 unpoisoned.

You and Dothki walk up to the gates of Varol-Zarg's Mansion to find that rather then the small house made of bones, surronded by Parks and gardens, there is now a large pale Manor glowing in the moonlight. Impressive, though it would appear Zarg is showing Off his magics. The whole thing is probably an illusion, or some kind of conjuration. Perhap the necromancer would know.
Closer to the Manor you find it appears to made out of some kind of glistening ceramic. It appears to be completely mundane, without the telltale tingling sensation you get from magic items.

Now how did he manage that?

You are greeted at both the gates and the door, The gatekeepers checking a list to make sure you are indeed on the invite list. After Being Checked again at the door. The Doormen ask you to relieve yourself of your weapons. Considering your status as an AOM you could probably flash a badges and forgo the customary search.

[Armok]

As long as they don't do a very through cavity search you should have nothing to hide, right?

Hmm, I wonder what'd happen if we absorbed Dothki without first severing the bond...

Which brings the question I've been thinking of to the front of the debate:

Could we soul-rip dothki and keep the necromancers bond?

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

You allow them to do a search, and thankfully they come with no reason to bring attention to yourself or to Dothki.
Lucky your tail was concealed by the long dress and your ears are concealed by your intricate hair style.
You are quickly hurried inside by a harried looking vallet, in order to make room for the other guests. Beyond the foyeur you come into a Massive ballroom, with a wide dancing floor filled with, of all things, Dancers. Lining the wall are buffet tables, and seats. Dothki Immediately Spots some Attendees wearing the robes of wizards, and hurries to chat with his peers. You meanwhile try to find the most benificial group to attend. Of notables there are:
*A group of the more "civilised" animal people from the east. These include some Avains eaglemen, Some tigermen and A single mermaid swimming in a large pool of water, which appears to been built for her convienince.
* A middling group of the local nobles who are suspiciously eyeing
* A Large group of Foriegn Nobles, Most of Which seem to be From Bruge.
* A large group of Merchant from foriegn and local buisnesses, Who seem to be keen on making business deals.
* A Very small group Of Men and women, from a variety of races, Wearing the State Badge of Malemoot in prominent Display on thier chests, And Keeping an eye on everyone at once. Some of them are wearing an impressive array of equipment.
* a Single large ornate, throne made entirely out of bones upon which Varol-Zargs lounges Indolently. it appears the subtle political byplay is going over his head leaving him rather bored. He reads a large leather bound book while ignoring the Daughters of the rich and noble, who are fawning over him.

Could we soul-rip dothki and keep the necromancers bond?

No. The bond is specificly there to stop Golem from killing their master, The only reason you can is beacause of plot powered Mistakes made by dothki. If he dies,or is absorbed it'll cut the bond off.

[Elvisdogs]

Well in that case I think a mindless slave-necromancer will be sufficient.

Go towards the foreign nobles from Bruge. On the off-chance our body's family is in the group.

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

Walking over to the brugean nobles You try to find out the lastest news of the empires affairs. You uickly Come face to face with a familar face. It's Alfonzo Delromack and right next to him is his little sister Priscilla. She appears to have a nice set of prosthetic golem arms. They both seem surprised to see you. Then Indignat rage creeps over Priscilla's face. FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUCK. This was a bad idea. I'm outta here. You ladies take over. The thief and the Gentle one are in charge now. The strategist absonds into the darker depths of your mind.

Nicely done, you found the ONLY Group of people who actively want you dead. Bravo. Really.
