It isn't until the end that he speaks of the Apprentice's Garden. &Y"My companions and I came upon a small garden, hidden within the forest. At first, it seemed like any other abandoned place. Until the trees attacked us! Sarikan found some fragments of paper, and we came to realise that the place we had found was the training ground for a young necromancer apprenticed to a dark master. Nor is it the only one. It seems the lad's master has much land, and assigned apprentices to various spots. The one with the most success would rise in his master's ranks. This lad didn't have much luck. Things got out of hand, and now he skulks about, hiding from the monsters he made. The others have left me to deal with this area, while they check out the other apprentices." "I fear I am dying. I have failed in my duty. I destroyed the young of the ant queen, but she drove me off. One of her winged comrades yanked my staff from my hand. My companions expected me to deal with the lair of evil here, and I have failed. I killed many ants, but I fear I will die of my wounds. I have not the strength of mind left to heal myself.
