Angus is shocked by the transition between fighting an indescribable horror for his very soul and floating in a tranquil sky. It takes him several minutes before he can adjust and realise that he is actually safe.
Over the next few weeks he throws himself into the Djinn's celebrations and the horror of the crawling chaos starts to fade, although he still wakes up at night screaming. Eventual, like all good things, the party comes to an end and Angus realises that it is time to choose his treasure and go.
Initially, Angus is tempted to take a monetary reward and restore his family's fortune. Then it occurs to him that all this would achieve is to allow his family and their hangers-on to resume their decadent habits and they would go through the money in no time. Instead he decided to continue his career as an adventurer and starts to look for items that will make him a more effective fighter.
Looking round the treasure hall he quickly finds some mitheral plate armor. The amulets are all organised and checking through them he finds one that does exactly what he needs. Checking through the belts, which are also well organised, he comes across a Belt of Giant Strength. The only thing that he has trouble with is the swords. There are long swords, short swords, broad swords, even swords that are used two-handed. The only thing he can't find is a magic bastard sword and he has no desire to give up years of training and start learning the subtleties of a differnet type of sword. Finally he comes across an alcove right at the back of the hall which is packed with items all thrown in a big heap. There sticking out the top is an obviously magic bastard sword.
Festooned with his new possessions, Angus joins the others to discuss were to go and how to us the wish. having listed to the various comments about reviving their fallen comrades, Angus says
"While its an admiral idea to revive our comrades, I'm worried that we have released the Crawling Chaos onto an unprepared world. Can't we use the wish to contain it again?"
When the discussion gets round to were to go, Angus indicates his willingness to stay with the group and has no preference as to where to go.
