The Walking Damned: ECL 4 Riff Strongblade Human Warmage 4: Entry 6

I can feel myself becoming closer to the flame.  The might of my arcane power grows daily.  And yet I was barely able to even make a dent in the outrageous horde of undead we faced in the dark.  The new guy, an archer, did much better than I.  I'm not entirely sure he wasn't aided by either some magic or may know some secrets of the martial arts I have yet to uncover.  I must soon test my blade in combat and unlock more knowledge.  I already know my destined path, but perhaps there is more about my future I am unaware of.  There must be, because that deal with the bear trap was way too close.  I am a practitioner of war and won't shy away from a fight.  However, I would like to survive long enough to face whoever is responsible for this new world order and show him my philosophy.
