My name is Deliseth and  have a sad tale for you noble ones.
Many years ago, I was a mighty and powerful wizard, thoroughly
skilled in the ways of the ancient rites.  One night, while I
lay unaware, a rival wizard, jealous of my consummate skill,
wealth, and power, turned me into what you see before you this
day.  I need someone to take me back to the City, to the Temple
of P'Tah, where I may transformed once again into my human
form. Will you help me?
