As he followed the knight, Oddic took the time to really look at his new employer, as well as the other knights at the door. The wolf symbol intrigued him.
"So why are you called wolf knights, Sir...? I'm sorry sir but I don't even know your name! Nor you mine! I'm Oddic, at your service sir"

"We ride wolves, big ones. The initiation ceremony to become a knight has you go catch one, alone, and unarmed. Not many survive it. I am Sir Eli Finch, well met Oddic. You got a last name boy?"
They continued there stroll, heading left and then descending down the stairs, several of the Wolf Knights were following them, but it appeared to be a general direction.

Oddic opened his mouth, thought for a moment, then shrugged.
"I don't have one, Sir Eli. I don't remember much before waking up today, but I know my name is just Oddic. No surname. No clue as to why, though"

"Hmmm, Odd...ic. Hahaha. Anyway, guess that would mean you can pick your own if you want."
They would continue down the long flights of the spiral staircase. It was no longer lit by light streaming through windows, but by torches mounted along the wall. It gave the staircase a sinister feel as they descended.

"I suppose I could. I'm fine with just Oddic for now, though," he shrugged.
Then he gave a short laugh "Maybe if I earn a nickname like the knights in the stories, I'll use that!"
The rough stone of the steps was starting to rub his feet raw. He wondered how much farther down they were going to go.

"Sure kid, whatever you say."
He was more likely to end up dead than like a knight from the stories, but no sense in crushing his optimism yet.
"Ah, here we are." He opened a door that led into a large room inhabitted by about a dozen wolves closer in size to a horse than a normal wolf. They growl at the newcomer but otherwise leave him alone. Sir Finch continues to stride across the room, stopping to pet a black and white one before continuing on.

When Oddic saw the giant wolves, he realized something about himself. He loved animals. As fearsome as they were, it was all he could do to contain his excitement and not rush over to touch one. He doubted they'd appreciate that, or that they'd let him keep his hand if he did.
He could tell they were taken care of, with their sleek fur and well-defined musculature. He was in awe of such majestic creatures.
"They're beautiful!" he exclaimed, before he could stop himself. It probably wasn't a manly thing to say, but it was true nonetheless.

"Beautiful? I suppose, though such sentimentality is likely to get you killed in battle boy."
They were through the room, though the snarling of two wolves fighting behind them could be heard.

"There are a lot of things that'll get me killed in battle. My lack of any martial skills for example,"
What the hell was he saying? Did he want to get booted before he even got the position?
"Sorry. I'm not selling myself too well, am I? I'll learn as much as I can, as quickly as I can so I won't be a burden on you and your group. Or at least, so I don't get anyone killed,"

"We don't fight to save someone who hasn't earned it yet. You best learn quickly. You can have Harn's old room,through there. His clothes should fit you."
He gestured to a room on his left, door cracked open and smelling dusty.
"I suggest you get it cleaned up first. We'll go over your duties once you are dressed and that room is fit for habitation."

Dreading the answer, but still needing to know, Oddic asked "Why doesn't Harn need his room anymore?"

Another chuckle came from the knight. An ironic sort of chuckle before he closed the door behind him to the knights' rooms.
"He died there, probably should move his body too. There's a dumping ground out back that the Doctor has enchanted to keep the bodies from decaying too fast. Put him there."

"I'll uhm.... get started then...."
Unable to say or do anything else, Oddic slowly opened the door to Harn's old room.
Prominently featured at the center of the room was a man, hanging from the rafters by a noose around his neck. Putrefaction was starting to set in, some of his bloating bits were starting to blacken. The "dusty" smell from before quickly soured to rotting meat as soon as the door was fully opened. Oddic covered his nose to block the smell, all decency forgotten.
"How long ago did he die!?"

Igrik would head to the flash of light. Clearly these zombie goblins were sloppy work, although he couldn't let his soon to be master know.

Inside he would see the small, wizened gnome, wearing a simple set of black robes. His finger was outstretched and there was a smouldering black streak on the floor.
"Hello hello hello!! Welcome to...uh...haven't named the place yet! But welcome to my castle! Who might you be my fine lisping friend!?"
His manner was jovial and bouncing, very strange for a necromancer, but he seemed a happy sort, and it was an attitude that they should likely get used to. He was always happy.

But the knight was already gone, chuckling as he walked into the Wolf Room. The boy had some promise he had to admit, unflinchingly walking through the Wolf Room as he did. But he needed a reality shock, and hopefully cleaning a room of a week-old dead body would give that to him.

The Doctor stroked his beard thoughtfully as he appraised the clearly insane man. Working for vampires? Sounded like a good way to end up as dinner to him. But no matter! He had survived, and that was enough to prove he was likely resourceful.
"So you are looking to be my assistant? Very well! I have Sir Eli and his mercenary knights for muscle, not to mention those incompetent goblin zombies, who by the way were not a resounding success in reviving intelligence, thought that may have been due to a lack of intelligence to begin with. But I do not have someone well-versed in the arts of research. What do you know of magic Igor?"

He thought for a moment. He was no wizard and had very little innate ability for magic, but he knew how to manipulate it like numbers. All was malleable in the hands of Igor.

Igor's...manner of speech would take some getting used to, but he fogured he could get used to that.
"Very well Igor! You are hired. We have plenty of bodies to experiment with for the time being, so we shall figure out what our next line of inquiry shall be! But first...who might you be?"
The last was addressed to Akmun, the Second Face, who Frankeneblin had just taken notice of.
