"Oh, good sir, I wouldn't worry about it too much," the Lich girl says in an embarrassed way. "It happens with some who come here who have a multiple presence on several planes at once.  Such as it is, if you are travelling via a remote projection, such as a psychic or planar veil, they can sometimes pass the timeline of the original, and die without the original knowing.  Think of it as if you were crossing a stream to get to a fire on the other side, and to ensure that your clothes didn't get wet, you take them off and toss them over, except that you accidentally toss them into the fire."

"But...that means his body is now shivering in the cold, and he has to cross the stream to get to the fire anyway, and he can't leave it because he has no clothes left," Heloise says.

"Um, well, yes.  You could say so.  Goodness, it sounds worse when you put it that way," Kemari says. She bows to the Jester. "My apologies, sir, for the bad news.  I sincerely hope this isn't the case with you."
