He will get himself killed!” comments Pebbles whom is also heading for cover, as the cloud seem to roll directly over them now.“HAH!   See?  I’m a god!  I’m a god of…..”BOOM!No more Cedious once the smoke clears.“YOU STUPID IDIOT!” Shouts Talon whom turns and begins to run to the crater.“CAREFUL!   No one knows for sure what the storms are!” reminds Pelor and he thinks about spells to bring him back to life.  He hopes for a part... a finger, ear or even a toe will work.Nothing.The group stands around the crater and the distant roar and flash of the passing Chaos Storm slowly disappears.“The BASTARD!” says Pebbles in anger.“We know.  We all cared for him greatly.”“NO!   He had the party treasure with him!”</blockquote>
