Also known as: Captain Menes, the mage captain, Mage-Captain
A Silver-rank [Mage] captain who decides against exploring the Ruins of Albez.
Menes wears traditional robes and carries a scholarly, bookish demeanor.
Attempts to set up magical traps outside the warded doors before being killed; his face is later seen absorbed into Skinner's body.
Casts a wall of flames and defensive barriers to secure the adventurers' retreat. He later uses [Loudness] and [Muffle] to assist Calruz's challenge.
Menes provides magical support against a spider nest and later uses Detect Magic to inspect a suspicious bag of abandoned gold.
The Mage-Captain insists on waiting for supplies and Ceria's spell before exploring the Ruins, directly opposing Calruz's eagerness.
Mentioned by Ceria as having rejoined the expedition heading to the ruins in Liscor.
The mage captain argues against entering the ruins, citing the fact that Gazi the Omniscient is in the city but hasn't entered them yet.
“We of the Circle of Reneë have prepared our spells.”
“Calruz is right. In a straight battle without an ambush, we’d hold the advantage. If we could turn it into that, I’d place all my bets on our side winning handily. But how do you propose we do that, Calruz? Those monsters aren’t exactly smart, but they’re clever enough not to commit to an all-out attack. You saw how they retreated once we put the barriers up.”
“A Crypt Lord is a threat capable of wiping out a Silver-rank team if they’re not careful. Recommended level to combat them is…around 22. Possibly 26 if you factor in their special abilities. They’re mostly dangerous because they can command the dead around them to do things like lie in wait or use pincer attacks.”
“There’s a Named-rank adventurer in the city right now. You might have heard of her. Gazi the Omniscient.”
