I wouldn't see regular pirates doing this much death and destruction, especially on land with so little chance of escape.  But if some psychopathic cult members are involved, it makes more sense.  Everything at the lighthouse has been taken care of, and Watchman Malory has gone back to town with Luttin to get the reinforcements."He turns and addresses the half-orc.  "Watchman Skarghash... you've done well.  I'm proud of you.  Malory has taken your horse back to town, but I think I can speak for Watchmaster Silversun that whatever you decide is best when you go below, we will follow and accept.  Bring the people who are responsible for all of this to justice if you can... or send them to Dolurrh if you can't.  As for the rest of you... Seawell owes you all a debt of gratitude, and you two" he turns to Ari and Taviss, "are certaining earning House Tharashk's keep.  I'm sure Dhelleck d'Tharashk will be quite happy with what you guys will have earned for the House."He ends with turning to Khalia and Jango.  "Jango, I'll be sure ot let your father know of your bravery.  There may be a spot in the militia for you when you get a little older if you want it.  And miss?  If you and Zan decide to go back to the Xothkazzik Ruins after all this is done, you'll certainly get the assistance from any of the watch that you need."Boggs bows to you all and wishes you safe return.  The five of you move back to the large tent and stand above the shaft, looking down to the tunnel below.</blockquote>
