Scroll of the Death Servant

This scroll reads "For you, the greatest gift of all". When you read this scroll, the scroll crumbles to dust and you feel a chill and then a warmth drifts across your back. A death servant has merged into your shadow. The first time you are about to die, the death servant dies instead of you, dissipating in a cloud of black vapor.
