Samuel will give a skeletal bow to his master, and point to his empty hand, grasping and opening it, signaling that he'd appreciate a simple weapon. Whether one is given or not, he'll head to the inn, and observe from the shadows, for who goes in or out. Wait for a man who looks very drunk to stumble out, and when he walks away from the light and safety of the tavern, snap his neck. Or something. Loot everything he has, too.

Woo-hoo! Skeleton time!

James will ask if there are any, *ahem* 'refreshments' and why must we not harm the girl?

I would ask why fire can burn two men to death without getting hot enough to burn a book, but then I read "INEXTINGUISHABLE RUNNING KAMIKAZE RADIOACTIVE FLAMING ZOMBIE" and realized that logic, reason, and physics are all occupied with crying in the corner right now.

"Okay, if I need to spell it out to you, I do not want you to harm the girl BECAUSE I WANT TO GET UNDER HER SKIRT. Is that so wrong?"

He then looks at the begging skeleton in front of him. The necromancer seemingly gets the gist of what Samuel is trying to convey, but the finer details still elude him.

"What do you want? A handout? Go out and get your own stuff, why don't you! And you," he says, pointing at James, "get your own damn refreshments! Find somebody on the road and bleed them or something, just don't bring them here!"

((I've added an inventory and character list to the second post and the second part of the prologue.))

Glare at the necromancer before stalking off towards the inn.

[Intelligence: 2+1=3]

Being a man of science, you are not an expert on occult rituals for binding the undead. It does seem to work pretty well, though!

"Now why would I want to unbind you? Seriously, guys, this setup is perfect for me. I give an instruction, you work your talents, I benefit at no cost whatsoever! Really, I can see no flaw here. By the way, don't kill yourself, guys. Consider that an order."

All six of the minions feel a slight wave of magic resound in their minds.

"Thank you, good sir. If you will excuse me, I shall be off to find something more effective than these dreadful claws."

Take the man's advice and exit to the nearest empty road, searching for someone to attack and rob.

The necromancer briefly takes a look at Jordan.

"Finally, some manners. See, you should take cues from Spiky Head here. He knows what the deal is!"

"Also what time is it, you know how it is with vampism bit of a pain."
Head out.

((Remember, people: talking is a free action. Thus, if you wish to get an answer to a question, you just ask it in addition to an action. The turns will only be posted when everyone comes up with an action (not just a question). Questions can and will be answered outside of the turn structure. The same could potentially go for simple thinking actions (not, say, coming up with an entire plan, but, for instance, just trying to figure out a single problem, like figuring out where you put the keys).))

WOULD BE NICE IF SKELETONS COULD TALK

Or communicate with their necromancer-master through telepathy or something.

Oh well. There goes my dreams of being a badass skeleton butler...

You figure that skeletons, being all quiet and mysterious, must have some kind of secret they're holding back. Perhaps some kind of... secret language?

[Intelligence: ?+1=?]

You observe the sociable one and the freakish one for a short while. You believe you see some kind of pattern emerging... yes, that's it! You have it! The skeleton language is within the grasp of your impressive vampire intellect! You believe you could translate Skeleton to Humanspeak pretty accurately right now.

You run up to the necromancer and explain your findings. He listens attentively, then strokes his chin thoughtfully for a second.

"I may have been a bit rough on you before, but damn, you sure have a head on your shoulders! I guess vampires are good for something after all. Now we can all communicate easily! Hell, you can have this neat blood sample I extracted from my sister a short while ago!"

He hands you a vial of his sister's blood. Five Gods know what he was going to use it for.

H-uh-er...Am I the sociable one? Of course I'd accept, and gladly. Not much that Samuel has to say right now though, asides from

Do we have a limited amount of time to kill this man?
