The Master of Souls

Interview with Theo

By Bradyrules

We have left our original party alone for a little while, and headed out to the city of Wydae where the man they are seeking lives. We found him in a tavern, drinking human blood.

Bradyrules: Er, hello. Are you Theo?

Theo: I suppose so.

Bradyrules: Great, could I have a second? I have some questions to ask you.

Theo: Of course… but before we start, what is with that hunk of garlic around your neck?

Bradyrules: I, er, was afraid!. I saw you drinking blood!

Theo: Ha! Don't worry, I'm no vampire. Blood is the only available drink at this tavern, that's all.

Bradyrules: Oh, thank the Gods! Alright, now straight to our interview. What exactly are you? If you're not a vampire, are you a demon? A werewolf? A skeleton?

Theo: I'm a half-demon you could say. I was once human, but now I've let enough of the underworld seep into me that I've become somewhat demonic.

Bradyrules: That must have taken a long time! How old are you?

Theo: 348 and a half.

Bradyrules: Whoa! How are you alive?

Theo: Things work differently down here. There is no sense of time really, just coming and going. A year down here is close to 40 or 50 human years. Or at least, that's how I estimate it.

Bradyrules: Alright, what exactly do you do? Do you have any special abilities?

Theo: I'm a necromancer, a wielder of death. I can control life and death in my enemies, bring about plagues and curses of course, I'm not powerful enough to cause people to drop dead, yet.

Bradyrules: Fascinating, anything else?

Theo: My powers become stronger and stronger the more I use them. They may become able to hit more enemies, or maybe just deal more damage. Some of them have many such upgrades, but others have just one or two.

Bradyrules: Well Theo, we're running out of time. Is there anything you would like to tell us, about how you plan to get the party out of the underworld?

Theo: Well, I can't just tell anyone that, can I!

At this, Theo gets up and walks out of the tavern. I decide it's time for a quick exit myself, after seeing those hungry vampires in the corner eying my neck. Next time, I'll backtrack a while and visit the party again to have our last interview with Miss Christina.
