At the mention of Mingo's name, Fosco starts crying again. He quickly closes his eyes and holds then shut until the tears stop. Blinking several times, Fosco finally says, "I apologize. Coming up on you like that, detailed introductions are certainly in order. My name is Fosco Sandybanks. Mingo and I were friends growing up. Our families are friends. While she became a Wayward Warden, I followed Mystra and studied with humans. I was summoned by my superiors at the request of the Wayward Wardens to find and protect Mingo and see that the curse was lifted. While the request was unusual, our study of magic made the new lich a topic of interest. As I worked to track down Mingo, I came across Zurrik at the port. He and I kept running into each other, so we finally discussed our situations. We decided to track the party down together. As we approach the tower, we noticed a large Barghest waiting for something. We attacked quickly, fearing the worst. Between my spell and Zurrik's eldritch fire, the fight was over shortly despite the Bargest calling down a flame strike on us." Fosco shivers at the thought.
"With Mingo gone.... I will have to return in disgrace for being too late. If I can assist you in any way before I leave, you have but to ask."
OOC: The details of my new character are not yet up because, well, I keep changing my mind about which to play, Fosco or Zurrik. One is staying to kill the lich, while the other is leaving with the dead. Fosco is sort of a buffed-melee version of Mingo. Zurrik is a rogue (with fighter feats instead of sneak attack)/warlock--more firepower but fewer HP. Originally, Fosco was to be the replacement, but then as he got fleshed out, the idea for Zurrik appeared and I began to move that direction. Unless someone has an objection, I'll play Zurrik with Fosco as a reserve character in case of more bad luck.
Scotley--Do you want me to post them both?
