We let the old man join our adventuring party because he claimed to be a wizard, though he often felt like more of a liability than an asset. His magic often misfired, he got tired quicker than the rest of us, and it just didn’t feel like he pulled his weight on this quest. I think most of us were ready to leave him behind next time we got into a town.
Then one day when we had just gotten up from a long rest, we noticed the old man wasn’t in camp. We searched around thinking he must have wandered off. Then we encountered her. We thought about recruiting her to join as well, but then we noticed she was holding the wizard’s staff.
At first we thought she killed him; we weren’t exactly ready for a fight. But then she tried to explain she WAS the wizard, that she was becoming closer to her true form. We had never heard anything like it before, but we also all agreed that the wizard in this form couldn’t be worse than the wizard in the old man form.
