BLANDAMOUR (to Galadria) Oh, I don't mind telling you, though it does not portray me in a very good light. I was on errantry near here, when I came to a lady's pavilion. She came out and begged my help against an evil sorcerer, who was visiting her bed in dreams. I agreed to guard her bed as she slept, and sure enough a red mist began to form around her. I attacked it, but it changed into the form of a skeleton, which attacked me, stabbbing through my armor as though it were cheese, and gave me the wound that you saw. As I say, the very knife that you wear at your belt. As I fell, the skeleton and the lady both mocked me, and disappeared. They said, "you have angered the wrong wizard, and this is his revenge." Now that you have heard my story, what is yours? How did you obtain the dagger?
