Improv: ECL 1 Riff Strongblade Human Warmage 1: Entry 1

Not exactly the road I was expecting and far from what I had hoped for.  After doing what I was informed to, I found myself under arrest for public urination.  Of course I denied these accusations but it soon became apparent that I had no choice but to go with the authorities for now.  It hadn't occurred to me at the time that this was what I was waiting for, but after the next few events I found I was now well along a new road that could very well take me to the information I seek.  Finding myself incarcerated with a few other "gentlemen", whom I made every attempt to avoid and learn nothing about, I waited for the morning.
Fate, it seems, stepped in and rained havoc upon this seemingly peaceful town.  The guard let us out hoping we could fight.  Deciding to travel together in this trying time, we found his dead body just outside the jail.  Heading for a fire in the distance I determined that the right thing to do would be to put it out and help the unknowing remnants of the surrounding buildings avoid danger.  We never got that far.
The corpse of a man came walking out of the wreckage of a cart and ambled toward us.  We could tell right away that this was an abomination and the holy man with us made it quite clear that we needed to destroy it. Seconds later the corpse of a horse came running into our midst.  We did battle and I was both victorious and flawed.  I did some good and was able to not only help dispatch the horror of the walking dead, but even offered some magical healing to the fighter who had taken the worst of it.  But I was no match for the undead horse.  I went down in battle and was only saved by the power of the cleric.  I suppose next time I will not spare the destructive might of my arcane power.  Next time I will unleash hell BEFORE I can be destroyed.
