One Who Seeks Vengeance Must Dig Two Graves

Following the battle the GoG was disheartened to find that Shadowdiver had died. The aren't certain how it happened, but Kaszuk and Skia were very saddened by the loss. Vath and Zorak set about finding anything useful that had been left behind by Ndulu. Inside the Ziggurat, in the chamber where Vath faced the demon spider they found several barrels of flashfire.

There was much debate on what to do with it and what to do next but in the end they decided to use the explosives to destroy what was left of Castle Scourge and teleport to Guardstown for a much needed rest. A trail of powder was lead all the way to the destroyed train and back to the collection of flashfire barrels in the ziggurat. One the trail was lit, Kruskahn teleported them away.

The people of Guardstown were mobilizing. Seeing the chain free of the moon meant, to them, that it was time to move and join Scourge's army. Kaszuk assumes that they will be slaughtered the moment Scourge's actual army spots them. In the meantime they got a room at the local in and bedded down for the night.

In the morning, Skia decided to part from the GoG. After completing their mission and the death of her companion she felt it was time to leave. Kaszuk helped her bury Shadowdiver and they parted ways. On their way out of town Kaszuk suggested destroying the statue that was dedicated to Scourge. The others agreed and Kaszuk stone shaped the statue into Zorak standing on Scourge's dead body. the town was now in a uproar, they began throwing things at Kaszuk and the others. Kriskahn then teleported the GoG to the base of Tyrant's tower, as they had planned. The GoG took up positions at the base of the tower and Kaszuk used stone shape to destroy the foundation. The tower came crashing down in a hail of stone and dust. Before the dirt even cleared they heard Tyrant from within the obscuring cloud. He was furious, and called them traitors, foolish. They waited for him to emerge before striking, ready for anything.

Tyrant came speeding out of the dust cloud and up into the air, leaving a trail of smoke behind him. Furious, he targeted Vath and Kaszuk, as the other two were hiding. Ray after ray was emitted from his eyestalks, striking Vath and Kaszuk again and again. Each time they resisted the effects, until a ray of sickly green energy struck Kaszuk in the chest. He felt his insides begin to simultaneously rupture and decay. the ray was destroying his body from the inside. Knowing he only had second left to live he called out his final words "Bury me in Wryarq Bog" and died.
