It's additionally adorned by minor red and white highlights, and a white, inverted cross hangs from around his left chest. This armor provides enhanced agility and spellcasting.

He has always been cast out as the ‘weird kid’ due to his strange obsession with the concept of death, but he was truly just misunderstood. By dedicated aspiration and diligent study, he had become a necromancer of renown and status.

I could've dispatched it from a safe distance with a Fireball, Larry!" *Kerry says, grunting with effort.* "Oh, excuuuuuuuuuse me for trying to spice up our little dungeon-delving session.
