A Very Magical Mistake

I'm afraid to say, I recieved a Derethan title for which I am rather ashamed. you see, there was this rather decayed fellow in town, begging for certain items.. I was warned by my Patron, that this creature would turn on us... and yet, I desided to help it out a little... giving it one of my precious oils.

Then, just as predicted, it turned with a grin and attacked us. I fled, trying to figure out just what was going on, I had naught but the most basic of protective spells on me and was not ready for an invasion of undead. I was pursued by several of the summoned undead, so I quickly jumped up onto something so I would be out of reach. looking over to the roadside, I saw this nasty creature which had asked for help moments before, casting some horrible spells at the quickly essembled warriors of Dereth, and couldn't keep myself for doing what I could to help. my spells landed with resounding thumps likely surprising me more then anyone.. or thing, else. This lasted several long moments, my delight in the successful spells obvious.. untill it turned to me with a snarl. I knew I was in trouble then... I saw the oncoming fireball fill my vision with red.. and then the swirl of the lifestone portal. There I stood.. still sizzling from the event, beside the gently turning blue stone.

So I called Indy in from where she had been hunting in the valley of death. Along with several of the brave warriors, including our own handsome guild member, Baldar, and two trips to the lifestone later, Indy helped to rid the town of the undead at last.

When I returned to regather my items a bit later, it was as if nothing had ever happened. birds twittered, butterflies floated on the slight breeze.. a silence broken only by the occational crackle of the statue fireworks, which were going off in a birthday celebration.

Afterwards, Indy finally managed to locate a "sezz gem" which she has been hunting for now, for weeks. She claims it will help her gain access to a newly descovered island.

I am happy for her, .. truely.. its just... I still feel a bit of shame of my blindly trusting nature... The loss of my oil.. and vitae to make up for all my eforts.. is all it brought me.
