Towers will contain all the necromancers that are part of the necromancer group to whom the tower belongs, as well as a horde of undead. |
It is possible to become a necromancer yourself in adventurer mode by [[reader|reading]] the slab or one of the books containing the secrets of life and death. Both will be found on the tables scattered around the tower, often amongst a pile of other, less useful books. | It is possible to become a necromancer yourself in adventurer mode by [[reader|reading]] the slab or one of the books containing the secrets of life and death.

− | Visiting the tower as a [[night creature]] [[ | + | Visiting the tower as a [[night creature]] such as a [[vampire]], [[werebeast]] or [[undead|husk/thrall]] is by far the easiest way to obtain the slab/a book. Seriously. The undead are [OPPOSED_TO_LIFE], but these night creatures are [NOT_LIVING], so they will ignore you completely. As obvious as it may be, undead will not attack necromancers, so making a mad dash for the slab/book is also a viable option, but you will risk being killed/severely wounded before you get the chance to become a necromancer. If you are already a night creature, you can just skip gleefully past the undead, read the slab/book and get out. You may also want to have a chat with the necromancers, who are actually quite friendly once you get to know them. In fact, night creatures who are shunned by society will still be accepted by necromancers, who you can even ask for [[Adventure mode#Quests|quests]]! That is, of course, unless you are an enemy of their group, in which case they will attempt to kill you. |

Undead creatures and vampires won't bother each other, but the vampire will attack any hostile necromancers present, making it very safe for you, provided that the undead don't see you. |
