Oh, and I should add - talk to merchant, tell him you're glad you could help him turn such a tidy profit on the artifact. You hope it alleviates in part an unfortunate change of circumstance that means you won't be able to stay out the week after all.

Spend a large bulk of our profits on more mana crystals. We'll need this for our future income stream, and experiments. In fact, it might be worth it to spend ALL of it on mana crystals (and a couple containers, obviously)

Sounds good to me, although we should probably have a contingency plan for if Omo does not react peacefully, we obviously do not want to commit murder, so if he doesn't like the sound of it what are we going to do?

Trust our friend not to outright kill us. Make sure he knows that capturing and returning with us is still killing us.

Make no aggressive moves - nothing to escalate the situation, beyond that.

If he wishes to leave and tell them, let him.

Then we will run.

Hopefully it doesn't come to that, though.

Sounds good to me.  We should make sure that we have supplies ready to go in case of this.

Posting to watch,
though i have never really been one for suggesting stuff in these games just love the stories.

speaking of which monk, you should consider getting a free blog somewhere and compiling your finished forum games into 'books' of a sort. with a link to the topic for those who like reading others comments as well.

We should try more with golems. I think it would look much better to display our power through a tiny clay man than through an animated corpse.
And golems are awesome in the long run anyway.

This is very much true. In fact, if we become sufficently skilled at animating golems, we could stand a fair chance of just glossing over the whole "I'm a necromancer" thing entirely until people have already accepted us.

I think we should time skip to the end of the fair. The intervening time should be used to get our potion money, prepare to leave, and to do a lot of studying. See if we can find any books on the history of necromancy, practice of magic, general magic spells, etc.

Let's go toward the evil area, not the Jeweled Coast. I want to see that place more !

And if we go ahead and reveal our secret to Omo, it might be good to know a little more about where he stand before that. Innocently chatting about all that necromancer war that close the borders, and the pirate king, and all that, might bring us some information about what he think of necromancy, and whether or not he's likely to turn against us if we reveal him our secret.

I suggest you DON'T animate the corpse he brings back, as there are a thousand ways it could go wrong. In any matter, a dead creature coming to life is very traumatic to an Elf, by any assumption, so it'd be a bad idea.

I go with just informing in a friendly manner, and if the GM figures it can be done, animating some sort of small golem.

definitely the Golem route, that should freak him out considerably less. As for destination, I say Thrimesdur. Those libraries should be useful, and we can probably learn some stuff from that other necromancer - perhaps even begin taking little bits out of his forces, Guerilla style.

Agreed it would definitely also be good time to see the effectiveness of golem vs. undead, assuming that we are in such a position to try such a thing.

I can't remember anymore, but are there still Dwarves around? I'd figure if we team up with a Dwarf engineer we can animate metal/stone golems crafted by Dwarves, and wipe out the Necro army like that. Unite the humans, dwarves and elves against the necro armies and wipe them the f- out. An interesting late-game idea I thought up randomly. :)

Yes I do believe that the dwarves are still around and I'm pretty sure they are near the Elven Homeland, pretty convenient if we're going that route I must say.
