A tale of a fateful trip

A couple of adventurers are drinking in a tavern

"So, I hear old Albertus died on your last trip into the ruins at Kathegar?"

"Yes, he didn't realize that he'd encountered a particularly subtle fungus. This one goes for enchanted wood. It'll leave it looking intact and then when the magic is called forth, it consumes the magic and the wood. That's bad enough but if it happens in a fight, well..."

"You mean?"

Yes, he died from a staff infection."
