Well, you see, if you're a raider or a bandit, I'll have to kill you before you destroy me first and take my tower. The spider bots keep most trespassers away, but now and then a couple of unwelcome ones seep through, understand?... So which is it?

–Burn

Burn is a Skeleton Unique Recruit who can be found just outside his Tower in the Floodlands. He is an ex-adventurer who abandoned that life due to his advancing age, but the player can convince him to come out for one last adventure before his inevitable shutdown.

Burn is one of the easiest Skeletons to recruit early in the game. He has only two unique dialogue lines and uses the Skeleton dialogue package instead of a unique one.

Note: Burn's lonely vigil outside of his tower may result in conflict with other locals, potentially resulting in his death.

They wear [Shoddy] armour (5% chance of [Standard]) and have weapons manufactured by Unknown.

Trivia[]

  • There is a dialogue branch where Burn does not check the race of who he is speaking to and can state "Skeletons aren't as perishable as Skeletons like yourself, but we still have a limit to our existence."
