Profile
Pisces is a thin, young human man. He wears robes and carries a stick that may be a wand. He appears hungry and his clothes are not pristine.
Pisces attempts to intimidate Erin with illusions and invisibility, gets struck twice, and pays increasing amounts of coin under pressure. He explains local geography and Erin’s likely teleportation, eats gratefully when fed, and admits to necromancy before leaving.
Pisces arrives at the inn seeking food, acting pompously and explaining magical terminology to Erin. When Relc and Klbkch arrive, his previous attempt to rob Erin is revealed, and he is identified as a wanted criminal. After being arrested and his [Necromancer] class exposed, he cleverly escapes using a sophisticated illusion spell.
Reveals himself in Erin's kitchen, pleads for sanctuary, reveals his status as a high-level [Mage] and persecuted [Necromancer], threatens Erin with magic, is threatened back with a knife, and is ultimately captured. Is ambushed and captured by Relc and Klbkch. He fights back with various spells from his wand, including [Barrier of Air], but is ultimately overwhelmed and surrenders. He pleads for his life, offers a ransom, and gives defiant last words about Necromancy before Erin intervenes. Is threatened with death and arrest by Relc. He is saved entirely by Erin's intervention. After the guards leave, he attempts to thank her but is hit with a pot and kicked out of the inn.
