Adamar nodded to answer her question of creature type. [color=a187be][i]"As I said, I need no sustenance. In the rare event that I am incapacitated, the only utility needed is Negative Energy. The energies of life and death work in opposite on undead as they do on the living. The healing spells that are common among clerics and such channel Positive Energy. While this energy can mend the living, it is a weapon against those with unlife. Alternatively, the Negative Energy that corrupts the life of the living will rejuvenate the unlife of creatures like me. I can channel Negative Energy, so I will be fine."[/i][/color]

But the monsters that reside inland are vicious and powerful. Any companions of yours who prove useless in life will be useful to me in death."[/i][/color]
