Adventurer
Playing an adventure from Dungeon mag set in the port city of Jevid. Begins with zombies appearing in the streets. Can't recall actual name of adventure, though it is going well. The adventure evolves around the motivations of a few critical NPCs, mainly an underground king "Imlik" with conections to a necromancer/evil/death cult.
I have increased Imlik's level considerably from the 2e 0 lvl he was to be one of the highest level experts in the city.
Here are the stats for those interested, or those playing a similar adventure, or for those that just want quick NPCs. Note, I originally generated these in a 'generator' and then back-adjusted them to fit my needs, so not all skill points may be completely accurate (as I did not know exactly which 10 skills had been designated for the expert for eg).
comments welcome.

38 yrs old, tall and lanky. He found the tome dealing w location of Cult of Worms tower in ancient Jevid. Here just as much for his own interests. Greedy. Not very observant.
Wow, that actually took some time to format from my NPC write-ups (I include full stats for spells - cut straight from an extensive table I have. 2 actually; 1 Divine and 1 Arcane)
I have increased Imlik's level considerably from the 2e 0 lvl he was to be one of the highest level experts in the city.
Here are the stats for those interested, or those playing a similar adventure, or for those that just want quick NPCs.
