Branomonrik looks at gal in puzzlement " Yet you condemn them to death. My scout is beyond life his destruction means nothing. Those have life yet you use them like puppets as I do my scout.'
He gives a cold smile to Gal " Now what is more evil, using the dead so the living my be spared, or forcing living creatures to go into danger and death to keep you safe? How very enlighted of you"
He looks to the departing rats " In any case the deaths you cause will solve my replacement problem" He pats his pouch and moves off toward the rest of the group his staff clicking on the stone as he walks.
" We kill them in hallowfaust. Then we animate them to serve the city as workers and guardsmen. I will need to find a place for supplies after we leave this tunnel. We have titan spawn to hunt down first"
His scout comes to him, it's mummified body makes almost no sound as it crosses the floor. He pets it on it's hairless flesh before sending it after the fleeing titian spawn.
It will find them for us, and when it does mayhap I shall keep one, to study"
I have 3 others, I will need to find more soon. I do not think it will be hard to find or create a dried rat corpse. There is other things I could use, rats are just easy to come by and light to carry. After the spell has run its course the body will decompose swiftly."
This was some one else plans. Some one called Rimebane, it seems. This may be a portal or something like it. This sad creature was trying to control it. Rimebane had a boss , and they plan to awaken things best left slumbering it seems"
With that he tucks the note into his pouch and awaits his scouts return
Branomonrik walks over to pavel Let me see that He beds to examine the paper and the jars Ah the way back is clear start moving the people if you wish" then with a mental command he summons his scout back to him.

Humm we should remove the survivors from this place. I think we need to talk and find this place as it seems to be the route of the issue here With that he calls his scout to him and instructs it to make sure the way is clear.
I would like time to study this places library's , clues may be hidden in old and forgotten lore
How many do we still have up?
staying to the back of his foe Branomonrik makes one more attempt at bring his cold touch to his foe. After another failed try he moves back from combat.
never mind
moving behind the creature Branomonrik again fills his hand with the coldness of death and reaches out for his foe.
ah 3 never mind
Branomonrik sees the thing that was once human and reaches out filling his hand with the cold touch of the grave and forcing it into his foe with a touch.
It has drained there essence!
Since I was looking at the man I am guessing he is right next to me

Branomonrik makes his way toward the screaming people. His staff clicking on the cold floor. He sends his scout after the titan spawn with a thought. Then he looks over the people thinking inward , and drawing on his arcane knowledge

Branomonrik pays little mind to the raving man as he stares at the pillar of shadow. He looks to Pavel "Yes, remove it's source of feeding for now. As long as they are close it may feed.
He looks toward Gal " How little you understand of anything fanatic. It is a thing of shadow, of darkness can you not feel that?. Fire is often used to cleanse such things. One would think you would understand cleansing fire, But I can see you understand so very little. Death is but a tool, And I shall be it's master in time. " A dry chuckle escapes his lips " Did nothing in the fight you say, I feel pity for your lack of knowledge and understanding, Fantic "
Shaking his head he looks to the group " Make up your minds, what you do with the shadow spawn, and those it wishes to feed on matters little to me. Fire may or may not destroy such a thing,However allowing this thing to stand, with titan spawn allowed to feed it seems...unwise."
He calls out to his scout, and it comes to him sitting at his feet with ease.It stares into the room with eyeless sockets " Shall I send it after the titan spawn? It could tell us if they have more down there and if they plan an ambush. "
Branomonrik stays back as the others free the human. "If it needs blood of living creatures, It draws on powers few of you understand. The thing we need to know is, does it make the orders or is mealy a tool?"
He looks again at the gloom in the area "Fire and light,Burn it, with oil if you have it, blessed water if you have that as well"

Lost in his own thoughts, Branomonrik pays little mind to the going ons in the room
Branomonrik studies the thing from a safe distance. "I do not know what this is, but I can say it is made of shadows given form"
Branomonrik backs away keeping an eye on the black pillar. He searches is inner knowledge for clues as to what this thing may be.

Branomonrik stays out of the fight for now keeping to the back. After the creatures are dealt with he will move among them casting bleed to make sure they are dealt with for good. But for now he will stand back and let the other deal with this unless they get close enough to strike at with his staff.
Branomonrik looks from his scout" The left is a dead end..filled with small things" With that he sends he scout down the other tunnel.
Hearing the sound Branomonirk directs the "scout " that way.
I know gal doesn't like the nerco...heh fun just wait till I make some undead critters in a few we needs scouts.
perception yay nat 20 I got a 22
Watching Gal head straight into the darkness Branomonrik shakes his head "Foolish" He says to no one. Digging into his robe he pulls forth a small mummified rat corpse and a small black stone. gesting in and invoking manner he chants "NENOK,AVOS, HASZEL NO'RINK!" The small corpse seems to moves looking up at the necromancer with it's dead eyeless face. He lunches the small creature into the darkness it lands with a run and disappears into the darkness.
Looking at the group he smiles his cold smile "We have a scout now" With that he moves deeper into the darkened tunnel.
Branomonrik looks to Pavel "You speak wisdom Mr.Pavel. I would not serve the group best in the lead." He looks to Gal and a thine cold smile brakes the sober lines of his face. "I will stay in the middle with him. " The cold smile seeming eerie on his face he nods toward the darkness. "After you friend" A low cold chuckle escapes his tin lips as he moves after the others.
With a few arcane and harsh words "AK'DOR NAR'NOK " Light glimmers to life on the end of Branomonrik's staff it gives off an eerie ghostly glow of pale white light.
" Do others need light?" with that he turns to the entrance and awaits the others before entering.
" Sol was it,if you wish to travel into the darkness with us then by all means do so. Your birthright may come in hand many times below."
Turning to the half-orc Branomonrik Gives him a once over " We have been..Hired to seek out that which kills below the city." He leans on his staff his skin contrasting with the bleach white staff. he holds the crest up to the guard in his tine dark hand "we have this , if you would like us to leave we can do this. I do not call this city home if the creatures that lay down in the dark places wish to feed upon those here and you do not wish my aid then it does not concern me"
Branomonrik again brings his unsettling eyes upon the half orc "So you child of the titans , why are you here are you here to brave the dark as well ?"
Looking at the raveing druid then to Pavel he says "AH one of those who do not understand a pity" he then looks to Pavel"Do not be ashamed of a skill, no matter what others think it may one day be useful and if nothing else my provide you with coin and a bed "
Branomonrik takes the amulate and looks to the group that have assembled here. "Greetings I am Branomonrik Assia Of Hallofaust. I have traveled here on the urging of my master and am compelled to deal with the troubles at this time." He looks to the group "As it seems we shall be traveling together ,it would seem wise to know of one another and are capability to better work and solve this issue." Branomonrik gives the group a moment to think before going on I am a necromancer and have traveled far to reach this place, I have some talent with spells and survival as well as knowledge of spellcarft and the arcane. And the rest of you?" he asks as he leans on his bone staff.
Branomonrik Assia walks into the city of mirtal, His robe is coated in dust and dirt from many days of travel.His master bed him to travel here and said he would know why in time. Branomonrik took the words of his mentor with great consurn. Still he road was long and the path of his kind was never an easy one "dying is easy "his master would say "its getting back up after and doing something thats hard" His master was wise he thought.So here he was alone in a city of people that did not understand the power and mystery of his kind. He was tired and near copperless, still this felt, right as he master said it would. With that thought Branomonrik moved down the copperstone street his bone staff clinking .
Branomonrik Assia shall be wondering into the city very soon
And here is the start. Will add more went old school and left stats in the order they was rolled. I thought it might be fun.
