Thank you, #62. Though to be fair, I probably could’ve guessed “Bigfoot123” eventually. Still, major time saver, and I now know the identity of our would-be Necromancer: Augustine Sarcophim. At least that’s the edgy name he goes by. His real name is Jimmy Dunlap. He joined the Flathead Amateur Cryptozoology Society in 1992 as a founding member. According to the group’s notes on “Augustine,” he has always held an interest in “Black Magicks,” and his idol is Alister Crowley. He was dismissed from the group after an altercation with the current head of the society over the “invocation of demonic forces” and “discovery of forbidden magickal arcanum.”
After that altercation, he was effectively black-booked from their club, and apparently, a few of them even have restraining orders against him. I guess he wasn’t happy that they kicked him out, and so he started spreading dead animals on their lawns. That’s fun and normal. He was also documented writing “strange and unsettling magickal glyphs around the Society’s meeting spots in animal blood.” The last known investigation he was heavily involved with was, you guessed it, the San Pedro Mountains Mummy. So, it looks like Jimmy is trying to finish his investigation work.
Now, I can’t help but laugh a little at the incompetence on display. These guys are certainly a “magic with a k and random Latin” type of organization. No real threat. However—just because these guys are clueless doesn’t mean real demons aren’t. Jimmy was kicked out over an invocation of demonic forces, right? There’s a decent chance he actually called out a demon. It’s not terribly uncommon for demons to take advantage of tourists who are messing with things they shouldn’t be. I’m guessing Jimmy made some sort of Faustian bargain for some degree of Necromancer powers. Though—Necromancy isn’t exactly an easy feat for demons, either.
