A normal swede would be asleep at this point, but as my sleep schedule now has officially been fucked, I'm now going to post. And just for funs, I'mma post Mr Bonejangles, Vivienne's faithful zombie steed.
When creating Vivs, I learned that wizards can learn "Phantom Steed" as a third level spell and therefore I just HAD to give her a zombie horsey~
When Vivienne first met her future companion, he was owned by a coach driver, stuck driving coaches full with people up and down the street all day, every day.
He was old, malnourished and looked more dead than alive. His rump was full with scars from the coach driver’s whip, and the driver didn’t seem to even care about the state of his old horse.
Vivs knew she couldn’t stay in the city for too long, given the heft price bountyhunters received for necromancers in the area, but something about this poor creature and the cruelty of his owner was just something she couldn’t look away from.
She knew that confronting him or stealing the horse would draw unwanted attention to her, so there was only one thing that she could do to help the poor thing.
She followed the driver around all day until he went home and the horse was put into the stables with whatever food and water the driver felt he deserved.
When nobody was around, Vivienne snuck inside and fed the horse a poisoned carrot. It died immediately and painlessly, and come morning the driver was enraged and frustrated when he found that his horse had suddenly died during the night.
Vivienne, still without his knowledge, was still around however and followed in the shadows as the driver had the horse’s carcass sent to the dump while he himself hurried to get another steed so he could go back to work.
She couldn’t bear the thought of the horse simply rotting away at a dump either, so in the spur of the moment she decided to bring him back with her necromancy. Giving the horse the name Mr Bonejangles, and promised him that if he let her take care of him, she’d never allow him to be mistreated like that again.
Ofcourse, Vivs has no experience what so ever with the feral kind, but luckily for her Mr Bonejangles is just as mild and gentle as he was when he was alive, and seem to be more than happy with his new mistress. As awkward as she is, she has at least stayed true to her promise.
