" So....we're going for Titanium Sall. Coming?"
I looked around. Tegan, Varka, Voon, Jin, Ferrit.
" Sure...I'll go. I was only going to go fishing anyway."

Bah! Idiot! First battered to death by Trolls, then Imploded by a bloody Shaman. I felt like a fool!
That evil bugger Daralith turned up just as we we're leaving, and me being my usual miserable bloody self....well, he looked at me, then looked at Tegan. I knew "exactly" what was going through his bloody head....and I agreed with it. What was she doing with such a bloody wimp.
She noticed something I think, and tried to put me at ease saying " take the magic away, and I'm as helpless as a kitten'
Yes love! But I aint got no bloody magic....and I'm still helpless as a kitten!

Then to Firesteep...and I couldn't keep those cursed Kobolds off me, nearly fell a few times. And there I stood, bloody pouring from my arm, watching the others fight. Godim, casting huge spells left and right, Shamur swiping heads off and Beli with his lightning fists pummeling everything in sight.
I may as well have just carried their packs for them and let them get on with it.

Then Val. Asked me to join her at the Temple for a quick prayer, then she told me Folian had blessed her further with his trust and showed me what she could do.
I swear! She called lightning and Acid from the skies....summoned beings from other realms to do her bidding and controled the biggest bear I had ever seen in my life!!
I pointed out must be nice to have such power...and she started off on the whole..." but you can fight. Take the blessings of Folian away...and I have nothing."
Is she bloody kidding! I can hardly fight anyway....and whats that compared to summoning the wrath of Folian and turning your enemies into piles of scorched goo!
I look around now and feel so bloody small and pathetic.... and with only 2 pieces of my soul left... I can see its all going to be over soon for me.

Heh! Explorer's are planning a visit to the Rift....where dead magic lives. I almost burst out laughing. Sure!! Make me more useless.... send me somewhere where all the magicking up in the world counts for nothing!

So....trying something different. New approach to finding this Crystal ring. Stop sneaking about quietly. Shake the bloody tree, make some noise, and see what comes to see what the fuss is about.
If I get my hands on it....I might just keep the bloody thing. Might have some nice little properties to get me back on the playing fields.
