[QUOTE="emeraldbeacon, post: 8855284, member: 7032019"] As the storm raged on, the fight against Lee Sidoneth began to turn to the heroes' favor. As his gargoyles crumbled, and Lula was slain in the waves, an arrow spelled his end; his dying words, however, called upon his master to let the storm finish his task! The storm suddenly gained strength, tearing apart what was left of Sidoneth's body, while the control wand began to spiral into the sky. Hastily, the rogue latched onto it with her mage hand, pulling it to safety. In desperation, she wished for the storm to stop... and stop it did, slowly dropping from hurricane, to downpour, to shower, to sprinkling, until it stopped altogether an hour later, revealing the dying light of the sun setting on the horizon. Gathering the survivors that still waited in the tomb, they returned to the Lyceum, finding it overrun with those seeking shelter from the storm. Headmaster Simeon thanked the heroes for their efforts, but asked them to return the next day to discuss their findings, as things were... busy. They decided to spend the night at the campsite of Laurabec Adelsburg, to share their experiences with her. What they found, though, was the celestial giant eagle Takasi, in mourning over his lost partner. The pair flew countless sorties over the water, rescuing at least two dozen that had been washed out to sea, before Laurabec lost her grip and fell into the waters. Takasi explained that a rescue operation was futile: he could already feel his connection to her severed. He thanked the heroes for their deeds, then explained he had nothing left holding him to this world, and prepared to depart, before the Dragonborn persuaded him to stay with them, and fight back against the evil that took Laurabec away. The next day, the chaos of the storm became readily apparent. Dozens, perhaps hundreds were dead (mostly among the refugees) and damage was catastrophic across the peninsula. At the Lyceum, Simeon welcomes the heroes, explaining what he had already learned from the two whom had been held prisoner by the Ragesians. After some discussions, it was agreed that the Lyceum would maintain posession of the Orb of Storms, that they might investigate its origins, and that they would establish control over the teleportation beacon, so that they could better control any future invasion of the city. Simeon identified the powerful ring from the Pyromancer's Tomb, and though reluctant to release such a powerful artifact, decided it was best in the heroes hands. And so, the city began to rebuild. Despite the devastation, hope prevails, and the city began a slow process of rebuilding itself... until a week later, when the heroes recieve a new summons to the Lyceum.
