Paeter, what the heck were you thinking?
"Duh, Ill go and interrogate this kobold with a massive bodyguard. Maybe I'll just punch him first. to let the giant orc get in the next (and killing) blow."
now, if you had the phoenix, you could be reborn.
Then it could kill you five or six times before you got in enough damage, and perhaps starting the store on fire, to hurt him a little. Of course, Kref, the one we are after, would be long gone.
Perhaps Cuthbert (not the traditional D&D one, the one in our campaign) will see your actions think it funny enough to want to see it again, thus think you fit for some kind of spontaineous ressurection, but I hope it is as a bald, white, mishaped dwarf female with nasty nose and ear hair.
Hail Gori'on the bravest stupid paladin I've ever met.
