"....damn...."
--- Respectful commentary of all Xok Lords and Dungeon Master. Rythym had been killed saving Sage's life and the minons of Gallileo were advancing on the Group. Holding Rythym's lifeless body in one arm, Sage unleashed magical powers that he had not previously displayed in the game. When the smoke cleared (and all the dice had been rolled), the minons had been utterly vaporized and there was extensive damage to the roof of the Dragonloft Yassong. There was a quiet respect for Sage's magical powers after that day. (After Kurgan took possession of Dragonloft several months later, he reported that the cost of repairing the damage was extreme. A memorial to both Rythym and Sage now stands on Dragonloft in the place of honor.)
