You put a magic staff for spells into the backpack. You have some splashes of blood on your clothes. You are smiling happily. You are wielding a gray, bloodcovered blade. You are wearing an adamant helmet, a black robe, two golden rings and a medium backpack. You are carrying 12 carennas, 29 silver coins, a magic ration, a clock, eleven gold coins, an emerald ring, two pipes, three copper coins, a wand of wonder and two waterskins. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- You are a member of the Atlantis Magicians.

This is a thin, black scrolltube - it's meant to put a scroll of some kind inside. A spectral image of Endora appears and tells you: nothing special ;))) just thought you stay longer ;)) and the image disappears as quickly as it appeared. You open the scrolltube. You start to concentrate upon the spell. You tell endora: ah.. :) Hopefully I can stay longer tomorrow :) See you! // Noone would see me the next day of course. // I would be busy practicing my new spells in secret. You get a dark scroll. A heavy scroll, which is wrapped around a wooden cylinder. It is made from something strange and gray, and the wooden part feels like it's made from stone. The whole scroll feels very cold to the touch. You could probably 'read' it. You unroll the scroll and read it. On this day, the 4 day of the month of the Octopus, 240 AF, do I, Cadderly, begin as a member of the Necromancers' Guild, and a fellow of demonkind. I agree that this pact can never be destroyed. In exchange, I will recieve those powers which demonkind sees fit to bestow upon me, and access to the library of the Necromancers' guild. I agree not to betray the guild to any, nor to make any attack on anything that lies within. This I do solemnly swear, or should my soul become forfeit. There is a space at the bottom for you to 'write' your signature. A spectral image of Endora appears and tells you: ;))) and the image disappears as quickly as it appeared. Your eyes flicker and then your magical sight is gone. You start to concentrate upon the spell. Your eyes start to flicker for a moment. Do 'write signature' if you really want to sign the pact. // Go 'who off' and join the guild. It will look like I logged out. You are no longer shown on the 'who' list. You are now a member of the Necromancers. You cut your finger, and sign the pact with your blood. The pact suddenly twists and writhes into a new shape - a ritual blade. Ok. This is a curved, sinister-looking blade made from a strange dark metal, which feels cold to the touch. It is the ritual blade for necromantic magic - strange runes and designs are carved into the blade and hilt. You know that you need this ritual blade for many of your spells. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- You are a member of the Necromancers.
