Tomb of Horrors: ECL 11 Daerev Wer'Vrinpict Dragonborn Dragon Shaman 11: Entry 13

We survived what no one else could.  Charging into combat against what was probably the most fearsome creature we could possibly face, I was able to dispatch our foe thanx to a mistake made by the wild mage.  Apparently while I faced the terror, others in the party were forced to face the undead remains of our former allies.  I don't think I would have been able to bear the pain of seeing my best friend's body used in such a horrid manner.  Then in a moment of absolute failure, Tore, my faithful companion and childhood friend was utterly destroyed by the power of Acererak.  Not even the power of Bahamut can bring him back.  I would give over my entire dragon horde to have my friends back. But that is not our fate.  I will walk a different road than they ever anticipated and I hope that at least Faustwiil can smile down on me from time to time as he parties with Boosh.  I will keep them alive in my thoughts and dedicate my strength and power in vanquishing new foes to their memory.
