Message: <blockquote data-quote="infax" data-source="post: 1712937" data-attributes="member: 12784">News from SpikeSpike has a long and eventful year:As usual, Spike is very pleased to be able to return see his mother. She is well and appreciates, her too, not receiving large sums of money sent by a dead son.Spike was born on the Night of Magic. (what year?)The Half-orc fighter has managed to accumulate a tidy sum of gold on the past years and doesn't need to see all those items liquidated for debased metal. He wishes to keep his parts of the spoils on the form of goods rather than money.Of the goods of the spoil, Spike would has set greedy eyes on Helltouch and Wraithcleaver. At the very least, he intends on keeping one of the Talons - the enchanted swords from House Greencoins.Greatly pleased with his matchmaking skills, Spikes wishes to grant Eban a wedding gift. He offers either to erase the Chainshirt debt or to pay for the whole of the marrying party.Deaf to Eban's advises, Spike did venture out without the remainder of the Nightwolf Pack a couple of times before the end of Year 1001. In one of those forays, Spike had an unfortunate encounter with the undead. He saw the life being sucked out of a friend hunting with him by a Wraith. After finding out they were greatly overmatched, the Fighter and his companions had to flee the woods. The touch of the Wraith kept Spike in bed for some days and the scene still haunts him.Renewed in his intent on learning more about the Restless Dead, Spike dedicated some time to seriously study them. Talking to sages in Bastillar, to one of the Mages and Estelar. Finally, he found out that the person that knows the most about undead in Bastillar is clearly father Lorego, the Holder of the Mists.The old man has scars from several confrontations with the Undead, he has learned many ways to confront them and tells Spike it was most often his unshakable faith in God and His might that saved him. Lorego mentions a path followed by some very dedicated fighters that are too independent to be tied to a temple to become Paladins, the Favored Souls. Holy men with a wandering soul and a faith wrapped in steel.</blockquote>
