During Combat The Necrotic King rarely leaves Glivid-Autel’s fortifications and is never seen without elite undead bodyguards, which include not The True Circu Circu himself is not particularly powerful, although he is not entirely without skill (CE male human necromancer 7; Int 13); still, on those rare occasions when he is allowed to occupy his own body, he attempts to flee any battle or confrontation, running back to his crypt so that Circu can take over. At this point, Circu is quite literally frightened of his own shadow, and he prefers that others do the fighting for him. just skeletons and zombies, but also mummies, specters, and even vampires. Even on diplomatic missions to neighboring “allies” in the Hornsaw Forest, the Necrotic King is usually surrounded by three or four lesser necromancers (levels 5 to 9), an honor guard of six powerful mummies, and a small troop of advanced skeletons. The undead do their best to interpose themselves between attackers and their king, while the necromancers work on neutralizing enemy spellcasters or missile troops, leaving their master free to work his most potent magics.
While his allies buy him time, Circu casts as many of his defensive spells as he can manage, if he hasn’t already done so prior to battle, favoring globe of invulnerability and undead anatomy IV (assuming the form of a lich) if he senses a meaningful threat. He then uses his most powerful offensive spells to devastate his opponents. If he does not feel terribly threatened, he is fond of summoning and sending bolstered undead minions after enemies while he supports with spells such as haste, reinforce skeletons, leech field, and mass repair undead.
However, Circu never fights to the death. If pressed, he uses greater teleport to escape; if he must flee Glivid-Autel all together, he first uses earth glide to reach his secret underground vault, transfers his gear to his old body, dismisses his soul exchange with Circu, and — leaving Circu to face whatever overwhelming force made one of the Seven Pilgrims retreat — teleports from the city to find a new pawn to possess. While inhabiting Circu’ body, Circu does not carry his most prized magic item, a ring of three wishes (2 wishes remaining), which he normally wears on a hand of glory about his neck; those objects reside in the vault, upon his natural body.
