On the way to heal my wounds, I noticed that a staff I had pried from a corpse felt the same as the shroud that I had become accustomed to...
Kashya told me that here in this world they call such a property as being "ethereal", and they are often not very prized. They tend to vanish into the ether, as it were. I shall keep one with me always, to remind myself that I too will one day vanish as even the greatest of stars in the heavens.
I took the staff, laid down my shroud, and put of the warrior's cap who took his last breath in that infernal cave.
