[QUOTE="MadAzolin, post: 6146851, member: 6747396"] [COLOR=#979797]Grumbling to himself and visibly humbled, Igor hobbles out of the room, happy to be away from the item. He throws it gaze over his shoulder, as if afraid of the thing before shutting the door behind him... [MENTION=51271]Voda Vosa[/MENTION] - Vermithrax [sblock=History roll] Igor's ritual scroll was definitely necromancy, sort of sophisticated speak with dead targeted at long dead sages.
