Plot Twist
Since this is the end of an epic quest, the ending should be very dramatic. I suggest a plot twist. The real reason for gathering the worlds greatest magicians together was not really to pick a Chancellor. One (or More) of the NPC Mages uses the Chancellor selection as an opportunity...
Reading
Been a while since I've read the whole thread. I'd forgotten how good the story was. Although reading about my character's death is a bit unsettling. :p
New magic Item
I have been thinking about that Grundar. I was thinking about going with the skull theme, but the new advisary is way too large. Maybe boots with matching gloves made from its hide, or a necklace made from its teeth.

Firebringer
How the upcoming combat went was mostly(all) Terenon's fault. I had thought that I would just have a short conversation with it, and then rest buff and attack. However the firebringer had another idea. Once the battle started, leaving became less and less of an option.
You'll have...
