So the cure is basically, I have to die? I do that anyway; it doesn't take much.
Actually, the way I died in the first place was kinda funny. Two halflings, an elf ranger, a skunk, and a falcon all chased me around for a bit: I was going to run into town, but I thought, "Nah, I don't wanna bother all the nice people." So I continued to run, and died...All in all, I got a good laugh out of it, and almost consider it to be worth it |-)
