Vincent 'Viper' Peck, half-orc wizard 7
ooc: I assume that Viper can make ice from water using his at-will ray of frost. Mal, if you don't allow that use of the spell for some reason, he will have prepared prestidigitation instead of ghost sound, so he can chill objects. In either case, he will have provided the same service for the rest of the party.
Viper isn't thirsty - he can't remember the last time he was, thanks to his magic ring - but he lifts his waterskin to his face and viper-tattooed neck, using its cold surface to gain some relief from the heat.
The gray half-orc pulls his horse to halt when Krool does, letting the big gray mare take a drink. "Almost there, Rockie." The warhorse's studded leather barding must be uncomfortable in the heat, but at least Viper isn't wearing any armor, unless he counts the barbed vest which serves to help ward off predators rather than protect him directly.
Yes, almost there. Soon we will see what lies in those ancient ruins. Magic, no doubt ...
When the man who calls himself Sebastian rides up and offers his services, Viper chuckles a little.
ooc: I had thought that the party already knew each other and was traveling together, but either way is fine with me. Good to see you're in, RJ.
