How do people in these lands feel about necromancers and dark magic in general? Are they tolerant, or even okay with it? Or will they burn me at the stake if they see me walking around with a guard of skeletons? If so, then I'll opt to stay cautious for now (as I've stated.)
Parma is a "bustling city" - this implies there is at least some form of merchant traffic going in and out of it, with how lively it's described. If possible, I want to find out more about this city first before leaving it. Going into the desert without any prior knowledge is foolish!
Let's try to find a merchant who might be able to give us a *map* of this region...
The Staff of Bones... The skeletons it can summon, are there any more details about it? If I summon one skeleton, does it magically dig itself out of the ground? Or do I need materials, like a corpse or skeletal remains beforehand?
How long does a summoned skeleton stick around? A day? A month? Indefinitely? Maybe a 'human' lifespan? I want to give my skeletons name and maybe make them a side character heh. Ajax the Skeleton!
Lastly for now... I'm assuming skeletons are summoned by the staff 'naked' - that is, without armor or anything. If so, then maybe summoning one or two, and dressing them up in cloaks should be good for now as companions. Ajax the Elder and Ajax the Younger. Like from the Iliad desu. Even better if they're semi-sentient skeletons who can think and have slight attitudes, instead of just drones. That would be hella fun.
