Anton shook his head. "Its amazing. All those spells out there, and no one has yet developed one to cure seasickness."

"Perhaps you'll be the first... Who knows? Then I can say that I met the famous Akhlaur, the man that cured seasickness."

Anton smiled half-heartedly. "I doubt it... water isn't really my specialty."

"What is your specialty then?" *Mariah tilted her head curiously.*

Anton winced inwardly, trying to think of a way out. "Its - well, that is, its kind of - well, its - complicated," he stammered, getting nervous.

"Complicated? Doesn't seem all that complicated a question to me, mate. Still, I don't know anything about magic. Mind explaining?"

Anton sighed heavily, unable to see a way out of it without downright lieing. After looking around to make sure nobody was eavesdropping, he lowered his voice. "Have you ever heard of the name Skavarios?" he asked, getting his emotions under control and calming down.

*Mariah shook her head, her brow furrowed in confusion.* "I don't think so... But I'm guessing I should have... It sounds vaguely familiar..."

Anton shrugged, a slight smile coming to his face. "Its reasonably well known in Halruaa. And it isn't exactly a good kind of being known."

*Mariah leaned forward, watching him with a rather inquisitive expression.* "Why? Whose name is it?"

Anton looked up, a strange mixture of pride and loathing on his face. "Its mine. Its the name I bear, as well as the name of the most infamous line of necromancers in Halruaa."

Anton nodded, his smile now bitter. "Go ahead and say it. A necromancer," he said, pronouncing the word with disgust.

*Mariah leaned back a little, almost instinctively... She had heard so many tales of necromancers from other sailors, and it was never anything good... She didn't understand... He had seemed so nice...* "A necromancer... how could you possibly be a necromancer...?"

"I maintain the philosophy that nothing is innately wrong. Its all in the intent." Anton grinned. "This is the part where I get called a liar and then run out of town." He looked over the railing and shrugged. "Not really anywhere for me to run on this boat, but you get the idea."
