Of all the heralds of doom for the grand villain of the adventure, the one least expected is, "Oops." At least, not from the seemingly mandatory idiot minion. It came from the Adventurer's tagalong-mascot-adoptee... the scrawny little kid who was told not to come with them for the final battle... and snuck in anyway.
Oakroot was did not come with a destiny. There was no prophecy attached to him. He just had a means of getting small, shiny objects into his sticky fingers. And that was what caused the Malevolent Mage's downfall.
The gem in their shrine of power was especially shiny and, like any sneaky little thief, Oakroot had crept in during the fireworks and attempted to pry the gemstone loose.
