"I'm afraid that the damage my mind took from the lamia attack led me to give the paladin poor advice in the battle, and resulted in his death.  I have offered the High Father the sword Lathander gave to me in exchange for his return to the world of the living, it was the least I could do, I just hope Lathander understands.""Well," a more cynical part of Alya thought to herself, "now we needn't worry about Himool finding his sword.""So what exactly happened" asked Calrom"It was several hours before dawn this morning" began Darian I was awakened to the sound of shouting and screams of pain.  I grabbed my mace and sword and rushed out into the fray.  There I found the night guards dead inside the main hall as well as the bodies of several other priests.  There was a trail of muddy boot prints leading into the back storage area.  Kelrecent was already in battle with a new acquaintance of ours.  You remember him, about 6 foot 4, wearing splint mail armor, long somewhat string blonde hair, been dead about a thousand or so years, goes by the name of Kersherack.  The High Father lay slumped in a corner, bleeding, but not yet dead.  As I entered the room Kelrecent called to me to stabilize the high father and I was able to use my remaining abilities to do that much at least.  As I turned to help Kelrecent engage the revenant of Kesherack, The beast pointed at the two of use and screamed 'DEFILERS, WHERE IS MY SHIELD?!'  I thought that the creature only wished to have its equipment back, so I told him it was at The Windlords Rest.  Then I made my mistake.  I told Kalrecent to stand down and let the creature pass.  I had thought that if it had what it wanted it would simply leave.  I was wrong.  As Kelrecent stood  down, the creature took the opportunity to cleave his head from his shoulders, using his newly regained sword and proceeded to advance on me.  I summoned all the energy of Lathander's might I could Muster but the creature stood there unfazed, even on this hallowed ground.  I ran towards the main area hoping to outrun the beast, but still it advanced on me.  I ran to the altar and was preparing to try to turn once more, when it stepped toward the altar and then screamed out in pain.  It turned and fled from this place.  I am sorry my friends, I had only hoped to save more lives, believing that if holy power had no effect the rest of the party would be much more able to handle this than I.  Were you attacked?  Is everyone okay?""No, we're were undisturbed" replied Calrom "no thanks to you." Darian looked abashed."So how are we going to prepare for tonight?" asked Alya"The High Father has requested to see us to discuss that very matter." answered Darian.</blockquote>
