It could indeed be a trap. If not that, then mayhap an attempt to use us as scapegoats to gather intel on the Schropfers. Whatever the case may be, I agree that we must approach with caution, especially if attempts at Necromancy are indeed at play.

[Half-baked Necromancy is just as bad if not worse than the actual thing, after all.]

As for beneficial items... [Urianger pulls out a small case, revealing a set of tiny jewels inside.] I was gifted these jewels which, when thrown, encase an enemy in ice.

In terms of ability, I am able to heal and provide barriers. Combat spells are also at my disposal. Lastly, I shall be able to light pathways for our use.
