The end of Greasy Sid

You'd be forgiven for thinking an abnormal amount of people died in Peliad....

We weep for the brilliant light that was extinguished far too soon with the passing of Sidian Black, a prodigious young wizard cut down in the absolute prime of his mystical awakening. Sidian was a caster of immense potential, a scholar who found profound joy in the subtle nuances of the arcane, most notably in his masterful and enthusiastic conjurations of grease. His final moments were defined by a profound and selfless heroism.

Recognizing a terrifying, ancient malice that had secretly possessed a companion, Sidian rushed forward to warn the townsfolk of the encroaching doom. Yet, before his desperate cries could save the night, a traitorous halfling blade, guided by that great evil, silenced him forever. He fell in a cruel act of betrayal, a brave young soul whose final breath was spent trying to shield others from the dark.
