He had been testing out on of his new 'toys,' Aurelia having finally gotten his enchanted repeating crossbow to him. It wasn't quite a rifle, but it was a good replacement, especially since it carried unlimited regular shots, and had several thirty bolt clips for special shots. Even better, it had a side feed for the bow, letting him properly sight down the shaft. The other toy was something for destroying massed undead, specifically meant to counter the Brotherhood's seemingly preferred tactic of massed undead swarms. A blast of holy energy that went about in a one hundred foot cone, healing the living and severely damaging if not outright destroying the undead. Sadly, a once a day item, but a good party trick. Even better, in his mind, was that the repeating crossbow had a slot in the back for a wand, which perfectly hosed the other toy. Two tricks for the price of one.<br/><br/>He was practicing his new magic, trying to get his stamina up for it, since he was still woefully below his standards in it, so the alarm bell and explosion was poorly timed, at least for him. The Brotherhood would likely be dancing in glee at him being down in magic reserves somewhat. He sighed irritably, racked the repeating crossbow, ensured the unlimited shot clip was in, and then went out to make a damn name for himself, again.
