Preternatural Problems:

To the Director of the Order of Arcane Exterminations:

Dear Madam,

Are you aware that your knights are being dispatched in magically inert leather armor? It doesn’t block magic. It isn’t flame-retardant. It does nothing!

The last one, I peeled like a banana! There was no challenge.

The one before that came into my cave and asked if I knew where a “Mr. Liche” lived! Do you hire any passerby who wanders in off the street?

Does the Order of Arcane Exterminations stand for nothing? Do you provide them with no training, no knowledge, no resources at all? Do you value your employees so little? I implore you to have a care for their longevity. Take some pride in your profession, or at least send them with some seasoning packets! I’m getting fat from the lack of exercise and overabundance of meat.

Sincerely,

Anubis Bone

Professional Liche
