Winding up in the realm of the dead was a bit odd I will admit, but I did sleep quite well. Additionally, I seem to have found my death-realm contemporary in the Death riders. Their job is to keep the living out of the realm of the dead, and it is my job to send the living to their lands appropriately. The death rider even acknowledged our connection, calling me 'brother', a term I am not uncomfortable with. It is an odd sensation to face an unknown ancestor, though he did not seem disappointed in me at least. Of course Willow had to bring the burning logs from the realm of the dead; I wonder how that will pan out. Meanwhile, I should get a better container for them.

Willow's a bit skittish outside of the "grove"... I guess that's why i'm so huge, able to watch out for her while she figures out how magic works and masters spell casting. Enlarge Person: Defiantly has it's advantages, feels slower, great reach. Best use for intimidation or fighting big monsters. That Improve weapon spell: Pure badass! As long as she's got it readied she can turn a sharp stick into a perfectly weighted and deadly spear, big enough and it could probably be used as an awesome lance. We'll have to see what she can make into what... Oh yeah, 2 hours! Even better! My abilities are dangerous, for sure, life stealing necrotic energy, Enhanced spear charges, and luck stealing are killer... But Willow's magic already shows potential... Mages are often slow starters with huge payoffs in the late game... If I keep her safe, she could be, no, will be insanely powerful.

Oh,.. I got this badass horse too. It's made of shadows, though it's also substantial enough for me to ride.

New World, new body... and we even got to learn some life skills ("classes") from some crystals. It took a few days, but it defiantly worked. It turns out that I'm some sort of heavy cavalry Necrotic knight... sort of an anti-paladin maybe?
