I was actually thinking of making a post to pick someone up, but I couldn't think of anyone that would make sense. I was thinking maybe I would pick up eemmtt, and have my character hire him to be a decoy and nothing more, because that would give eemmtt a chance to prove he can hold his own against magic and stuff, but he said in his post that paladins "barely tolerate us". Also, with Zanders intense hatred towards mages, if he had pickup a mage, it could only end in a battle. Which I don't think would be good this early. Maybe a battle with an NPC, but not a character.
I usually don't have IC partners for long durations, so I was thinking of spicing it up. I'm still trying to think of a way to meet up with someone though.
Btw, I love how Count Eternus has connections with both mages and paladins, at first i thought, Double Agent. But then, i thought, Triple Agent. and now, I'm jut not sure.
