03-05-07, 06:44 AM I don't think Ybbil Siwel deserved this fate, though. It's said he was acting under mind control of the dark master Yenehc Kcid, who has been known to fire deadly volleys of magic missiles at followers who did nothing to harm him.

Painful.

For what it's worth, I'm going to add 'Drahcir Elraep' to my blacklist of 'NPCs to kill on sight rather than to work for'.

Eh, not quite. A palindrome means it's read the same forwards as backwards, not counting spaces.
