[ You meet a strange an enigmatic Necromancer:
You may Siphon the energy of one of your Units or Sacrifice one Extra of your Choice.

If a Unit: choose a number of levels to lose up to to 5. Multiply this # by 3, you gain this much Gold and this much skill XP. If this causes a Unit to be reduced below level 0, it dies.

If you sacrifice an Extra, instead: receive 1 Spell of your Choice. Then, multiply the Extra's Tier by 4: gain this much Skill XP, which you may assign as you see fit to whomever you see fit.
]
[ Also you receive a quest!  Choose a difficulty between 2-5 (inclusive). ]

[ Alhamandriel achieves a Significant Success in attempting to convert the Drake. ]
[ You gain 1 Skill XP, which must be assigned as Leadership. ]
[ You gain a recruitment opportunity (without having to pay the recruitment cost):

* Single Entity: Does not degrade as damage is taken.  Counts as a Unit.  May attack as a Unit.

♠: Drakes can intimidate their foes with a flash of fire.  All Units fighting a Drake must make a morale check at a -15% penalty at the Start of Ranged Combat.  (Clarification: If multiple Drakes are present, it is still a single roll - not several.)

Prehensile Tail (Tier1): At the beginning of every combat, this Unit casts Armanent onto itself.  You may duplicate an already equipped weapon as a result of this ability.
(Clarification: you do not gain additional attacks if you duplicate a weapon - however, the bonuses do stack.)
