START US IN THE WILDS.
A sure way to kill those who are unprepared. I prefer Almar's Keep myself.

You get to chose a second minor skill, as well. I'm not exactly sure what researching/battlemaging is... you could go something like Major Metamagic, Minor [Weapon] Minor [Magic] if you wanted to. I wasn't aware that you didn't realize you signed up(You said you would join the sequel, but it was sort of in passing so...), so if you don't want to play that's fine, since we have several people on the waiting list already.

Since I was already in the first one, I'm going to drop out to let somebody else in.

Can I be one of those blue guys of whom you killed off with a sun?

Erm... I wasn't asking for anybody to drop out. It just seemed to me that Cheddarius wasn't really paying much attention to the game. If you want to, that's fine though.

A Void Marauder? We'll see.

Anyway, still need an update from Cheddarius so I can make his character before I can post the turn.

It just feels greedy to take a spot, when I lived the longest last game ...

Actually, I'm filled with a sudden desire to break the game as a necromancer. Count me back in, but could I switch my magic specialties around, to have Necromancy has my primary?

Certainly. Everyone is welcome to switch their skills/equipment around before the game starts. I would really encourage people trying to find synergy between skills. There are quite a few powerful combinations out there. There is one combination I would really like to see, but nobody has made it yet... though one person came close. Not that I'm saying anybody's is bad, there might be a really awesome combination I haven't thought about yet that will kick ass when the time comes.

I guess that means we're starting with 9 then, since I can't exactly kick ExKirby out now... oh well. If it's anything like Mercenary RTD, someone will die soon enough.

Are you sure it's not Summoning + Rune Magic? Because summoning exploding things is always a sure path to victory. Anyway, I think I'll go with Death Magic, Summoning, and Elementalism. Minions! Instant stone walls wreathed in fire for my minions to hide behind! Fun!

Here's a more updated character sheet.
Name: Nirur Torir
Gender: Male
Profession/Skills: Healing Magic No, wait. I don't want to be lynched.
   Major: Death Magic
   Minors: Summoning and Elementalism.
Requested Equipment: An axe that doubles as a staff for focusing ethereal flows, a book of necromancy, and a book on elemental magic.
Background Information: Nirur was a young lad when the world echanged. His father was a mage of minor renown, and taught him all he could. It was not enough, his father was drafted after six months, and was slain while trying to defend a town two years later. His mother moved to Maradin, where she raised him for ten years. He continued to work on his magic what little spare time he had. When he was 15 he was drafted into the Maradin militia. He eventually saved enough money for a contraband book on death magic, which he studied whenever he felt he could get away with it.
The city continued to grow more desperate, and he has volunteered to take the fight to the enemy.

Muahahaha. That is but the start of my plans. Summon prefabricated objects, enhance with runes... secret final step with death magic. That last one was a close choice between life, death, and alchemy though.

A harsh wind blows through the town. The citizens are wary; a group of demons had been gathering to the north since late last night. The smithies are alive with activity, repairing the arms and armor from the last battle and forging new ones from the latest shipment of iron. In the center of the town, a Priest of Mandatum shouts over the noise, warning soldier and commoner alike not to stray from rightousness lest the demons claim their soul. Few heed his call; most look nervously to the ever growing army amassing to the north.

I Presume that they are going to attack the town?

Summon a fire spirit and an air spirit to aid me in whatever my quest will be.
