    Fireflash is a shoe-in for a fire mage, so here's some more esoteric suggestions.

    1. Entangle

    2. Hellgate

    3. Tempus Fugit

    As for skills - Persuasion, Dodge, Pick Pocket.

    Alright, ladies and gents, this round of voting is closed. (We're almost done with the voting for now, I swear.)

    The Character:
    Pixie, a pissed-off manipulative bitch of a Half Orc with the Fire Witch background. Because something about a pyromaniac half-orc called Pixie makes me laugh like the sick bitch that I am.

    The Skill Totals:
    Haggle: 6 votes, high priority
    Persuasion: 6 votes, high priority
    Pickpocket: 5 votes, moderately high priority
    Gambling: 3 votes, moderate priority
    Disarm Traps: 1 vote, low priority
    Dodge: 1 vote, low priority
    Pick Locks: 1 vote, low priority
    Spot Traps (?): 1 vote, low priority

    The Spell Totals:
    Fireflash: 7 votes, high priority
    Dominate Will: 5 votes, high priority
    Polymorph: 3 votes, moderate priority
    Heal: 2 votes, moderately low priority
    Charm: 1 vote, low priority
    Disintegrate: 1 vote, low priority
    Entangle: 1 vote, low priority
    Hellgate: 1 vote, low priority
    Summon Spirit: 1 vote, low priority
    Teleport: 1 vote, low priority
    Tempus Fugit: 1 vote, low priority

    Simply put, the higher on the list the skill or spell, the earlier I'll get it and the more frequently I'll be using it. The exception is Heal, which I'll probably pick up right from the word go just to bolster myself a little.

    Now, last vote. Answer the following two questions:

    1. How do you want me to play her? Manipulative bitch queen from hell? Psychopath hell-bent on burning the whole world down? The skies the limit here, gentlemen.

    2. Who do we want following us? Keeping in mind, of course, that Virgil is coming with whether you like it or not, and that I'm an Evil Mage.

    1. If you've got persuasion, flaunt it. Manipulate people to make them suffer. You're not an orc, you're a half orc. Pointless random slaughter is so beneath you. (Level grinding aside.)
    2. Just the walking band-aid/funny guy/emergency sex toy. You can hellgate or Summon Ogre an emergency fighter, but really, a mage doesn't need a crew and you don't need thugs stealing your kills (or your XP).

    P.S.: I'd suggest that the healing spells be handled by Virgil instead of you personally? Since you've got him, that should free up other spell slots for your own use...(If this is allowed of course.)

    And once again I must remind you, Zanza, that your opinion doesn't count here, through your own ill-considered actions.

    Besides, someone's already done a good-aligned tech LP.

    My opinion doesn't count to you because you are too self-absorbed, however I can remind others that you tend to lean towards magic will dominating bitches. The Half-Orc doesn't need to be good aligned, so many possibilities its just a shame your generic play style got picked.

    Self-absorbed nothing, your opinion doesn't count in my goddamned LP because you were an annoying prick once too often, and as I lack the power to banninate you, I took the only other option available to me. Deal with it, biatch.

    I am dealing with it, I didn't vote in it, that was my version of an olive branch, but you seem to be unable to let things go and attack me for making an observation. Just get over yourself and let it go, chill Winston.

    1. Can't you be both?

    2. Z'an Alurin. I don't care about the rest.

    Oh, and please blast Geoffrey, like a real evil person with a temper would do.

    Ramidel speaks the words of truth.

    Manipulate whenever you can, burn everything which refuses to be manipulated. Not to mention that you can firstly manipulate, and after everything is done, burn what you have already manipulated on, just for the kicks.

    Z'an Alurin. This Dark Elf + Virgil and we don't need more. Well, perhaps Geoffrey, but I'd say that the fire witch plus the two followers would do just fine. So one vote for Z'an and half of a vote for Geoffrey.

    Meh, you should just blast your way through everything. If the world and its inhabitants refuse to bow to your whim don't bother manipulating them, just blast them into compliance.

    Do a preying mantis. Sleep with everybody you can, but then you have to kill them.
