**Anullus succeeds in creating, 'Anullus's Sack of Rats' . Use activated item, usable three times daily, casts Summon Swarm (rats) as if cast by a sorcer level 5. The rats so summoned need not come directly out of the bag, but if the user chooses for them to do so, then the rat swarm cannot harm the user or impede him in any way. Each summoned swarm lasts 10 rounds. You sold off some of your extra cloaks to pay the material costs.

Oddments:
6 bloody nails from a crucifix - When used as a spell component on any spell that deals damage make a spellcraft check DC 15 + the spell's level to add 1 damage for per caster level (max 20). Each nail can be used only once in this fashion.
2 magicly preserved eyes of a doppleganger - When used as a power component with a mind-effecting spell the caster may make a spellcraft DC 15 + the spell's level. If successful the DC of the spell cast is increased by 6. Each eye can be used once in this way.
3 candles of Meditation - when used by a spellcaster while he memorizes or prepares spells, he may reduce preparation time by one half and gains +2 circumstance bonuses to concentration checks for combat casting for the rest of the day. If you consume a candle in the casting of a spell, you may add +2 to the DC to the resistance of that spell, and gain a +4 enchantment bonus to your concentration check for that round. Using this a s a power component increases the casting times of one action spells to a full-round action.
3 candles of Zone of Truth
1 candle of Loki's Light - while lit these candles generate a Magic Circle of Protection from Good and Protection from Law. If the candles are moved or extinguished once activated, the effect ends and the candle is wasted. If used as a Power component with any damage dealing spell, the candle is consumed and the spell deals additional damage equal to 1.5 times the actual damage. This extra damage is considered Unholy damage. When lit, the candles actually dispel light rather than generate it, creating darkness around thier purple flames.
Infinite Quill - An exquisite white feather quill. It writes without ink, creating any color at will. grants a +2 Craft (scribe) check or any related check while using it.

Please note, when you recently asked about the books in your inventory, I had given you a list. At the time I could not find my original notes. However, I have since found my references, the actual books are listed below, please disreguard the others. (I believe I gave you two of them that I should not have given you.)

Books:
Liber Arcanus - It is a thick tome of parchemnt pages within covers of heavy oak. Silver fastners and leather straps hold it closed. The pages are written in shaky hand with silver ink. The first fifty pages are soaked through with blood and unreadable, Of the remaining pages only 8 are used the rest are blank. You have learned the four spells contained in the 8 pages. (Alarm, Alter Self, Darkness and Flame Arrow.)
Guide to Monster Summoning - A Plain wooden cover, bound with leather and painted by a master artisan. Inside however, the writting was inked in human blood and the smell of death flows from it's pages. Summon Monster I through IX are inscribed in order into the book. There are 20 blank pages in the back. If this book is used during the casting of a summon monster spell, the spell is treated as one level higher but the casting time is increased to 5 rounds.
Assassin's Flame a stack of parchments bound with a single copper ring. Several pages are burnt, but there are many complete spells, which you have learned: 'burning hands, fireball, fire shield, flame arrow and wall of fire'
Hollow Threats Written in landscape format, bound along it's shorter edge, it is more than thirty inches wide when opened and difficult to use without a table or stand. The cover is simple cloth and the pages are the cheapest of paper. You have learned: Bone Armor, Cause Fear and Obscuring Mist which are detailed within.
Bertil's invisible Research A smallish tome, eight inches at it's widest dimension. The covers are thin marble slabs bound together with leather strips and iron. The back cover is broken along the bottom edge and a small fragment is missing. The pages are stitched to the leather and made of high-quality paper. There are forty pages. Within are the spells of Ghost Sound, Invisibility, Invisibility Sphere and Spirit Knife, which you have learned.

Additonally, Archibold gave you a book from which you learned: Wall of Stone, Wall of Ice, Wall of Fire.

__________________________________________________ ______________________________________

It has been a long time since Anullus has left the tower. The last time he left, he went into the wilds to play with his new tricks.
The people of Ocean City are not very nice, but nicer than a lot of people he has met.
They seem to be afraid of him.
Anullus is not bad person! He is good person! He learns tricks to help protect people from bad men!
People think Anullus is Bad Man, but he is not!
Anullus misses Zak. Zak was good friend. Zak was Good Man!
He treated Anullus like a Person!
The wizard doesn't trust Anullus, and he can tell! Wizards are smart. They scheme and play with people when they don't know it.
Why do people treat other people like they are toys?
Anullus has learned many things and now he is ready to leave the tower.
He has made things that are like tricks but..things!
Anullus would like to have a pet, but he is afraid a pet would get hurt. Anullus doesn't want to make a pet be nice to Anullus.
Maybe Anullus will see the White People again, mabye they will help him. He hasn't seen them in a long time. The White People like Anullus!
Anullus will collect his belongings and leave the tower. He would like to be with nice people again...

[Anullus]

Anullus goes to see the wizard in the Palace. Anullus would like to find Zak. The wizard will know where he is.

[Corwyn]

Anullus finds that the wizard is not available. Archibold greets the young sorceror and explains that Carol is very busy. He invites Anullus to wait in one of the royal chambers or else accompany him back to the palace library.

**Free actions. Anullus might be waiting a long time if he waits for Carol to return. Archibold does not know where Zak is but does say that he expects the young knight to return to the palace soon. See POST# 1 above for Anullus' considerable list of possessions. Also, I need a link to Anullus' character sheet.**

[Anullus]

Anullus leaves most of that stuff in his room in the tower. He thinks it's all very neat, but Anullus doesn't know what to do with most of it. If there are any little kids that don't be mean to Anullus, he will give them a present. :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: Here little girl, you should have a siren pearl. It is very pretty and does neat tricks! Don't lose it and don't play mean tricks on people. Playing mean tricks is bad and you should be good. There are too many mean people in the world, that's what Anullus thinks.

Anullus waits for Carol but Anullus doesn't have much patience. He looks around the grand hall for any familiar face to talk to, and not seeing any returns to the tower.

Anullus sits in his room until the sun goes down and the moon is halfway in the middle of the sky. He thinks about Zak, and then Anullus realizes! He can put on one of the bracelets and he can talk to Zak!! :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

Why didn't Anullus think of this before? So easy to do! :biggrin: :biggrin: Anullus had been so distracted by all of the neat tricks the trinkets can do, and there were so many of them...plus he had been trying to make the bag of rats. That took a while, but Anullus is very happy that it works! And it does it three times a day! The next time Anullus is attacked by mean rats, he will have good rats to fight them! And they're not even real rats, but they're tricky rats! So FUN!!

Anullus thinks about the rats in the tunnels where he found the boxes of tricky things and remembers Zak! :biggrin:

Anullus had forgotten to put on the bracelet! He looks through his pile of tricky things searching for the bracelet. Once he finds it, he puts it on and thinks in his head: Zak! Zak! Can you hear? This is Anullus! I made a bag of rats! Where are you? I'm bored!
:biggrin: :biggrin:
Anullus begins playing with the tricky things on the floor.

He stacks the books on top of each other, then goes through the jewelry one piece at a time, setting them in rows according to type and function. He looks through the gem of seeing, then the other, then both at the same time. He would like to see Zak!

Anullus then decides to put on as many things as he can and sets about wearing different things to see if he likes them.

This takes hours and Anullus begins to get sleepy. He falls asleep sitting upright on the floor, having an abstract conversation with Zak who may or may not be listening, about the White girls and the mean men they encountered and...yawnnn...zzzzzzzz.

**Please make it publicly viewable...*

[Anullus]

The rest of Anullus' items are scattered about Anullus' room. Anullus isn't worried about thieves here in his tower. Everyone is too afraid of Anullus to come up here.
:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

But then, Anullus hears voices outside!
:o :o

[Anullus]

Anullus uses sneakyfoot to go downstairs and see who is here. Anullus doesn't want people messing up the tower. It is the only place Anullus can be alone!
:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

[Corwyn]

**Not sure how you want to do this... I'm fine with the two characters meeting. I think that Anullus would not be hard to fool with some kind words. You are free to proceed with the meeting from whichever persepective you would like to begin.**
