Why didn’t I make a backup??
My entry [2]:
“So, Mr. Donne.”
“So, Herr Doktor.”
“You came alone?”
“As we agreed. No other people. Just you and me.”
“As to that.” He clapped. A very large figure stepped from the shadows.
“Oath-breaking, Doc? The White Dragon’ll never deal with you now.”
“Strictly speaking, this is not a person.” Volkart smiled. “I built it myself.”
I could see now it was some sort of construct, cobbled together from a dozen different corpses. A galvanized, mindless bodyguard. Swell.
He clapped again. It advanced on me. “If you were a better sorcerer, Mr. Donne, you would have made your own backup, too.”

The White Dragon needs better lawyers if this is a valid loophole . . .
;P

Whether Herr Doktor was correct in thinking he could get away with it is … perhaps another scene. 🙂
