My job is really weird sometimes...

Well, DM, I'd like to say I've got your back, but that dark arts practitioner fires scattershot, and he hit me in the spray. I had chills too, came down with a cold, and then my back went out.

I'm recovering now. Hopefully you can fend off further curses. If not, I better take out life insurance.

P.S. Nope, didn't have to work today.
