And with Agrimar's last smite, the Splatter Man shrieked as his ectoplasmic existence burned away in silver fire, leaving only silence.
Quickly you check your companions for signs of life, but for Xiuj and Ysabot it is too late.
Kendra though, you detect a bare pulse. She is horribly wounded though, and without help she will surely die.

When captured, Warden Hawkran's magic equipment was stripped from him and taken here.
These items remain at the bottom of the flooded oubliette still, under 30 feet of water with the corporeal remains of the Splatter
Man himself.
The items themselves consist of a +1 keen longsword, a +1
mithral dagger, and a ring of protection +1.
Unable to touch the ghost, Ereviss uses five charges on Kendra.
Kendra's eyes fluttered open.
"Is victory always like this?" She whispered, still finding it difficult to move.
The rest of the venture into Harrowstone you remember only as a set of images; carrying Kendra up the ladder, Vesorianna’s tears as you present her with her husband’s badge, Vesorianna cleansing Harrowstone of all Haunts and Spirits in a burst of blue white fire, her sigh of thanks as she fades away as well, the warden’s badge settling softly to the ground as she vanishes.
Ravengro’s citizens notice the change the very next night as the strange events and eerie happenings that have been plaguing the town cease.
Returning to Ravengro and Lorrimor house, you contract with Father Grimburrow to recover Xiuj's and Ysabot's bodies and give them the funerals they deserve.
You are somewhat surprised when a dozen of locals attend the services, and no incidents like the one that greeted you when you first came here what seemed like so long ago.
The next day, the town’s citizens gather and pool an amount of money to gift to you survivors. This amounts to five hundred gp for each of you.
Kendra recovered fully with some rest, but she developed a streak of white hair at her forehead; a reminder of her brush with death.

In any case, the time passed. The one month anniversary of the reading of the will arrived and it became time for you to honor Professor Lorrimor’s final wish and make the delivery of his books to Lepidstadt (and to collect the promised stipend!).
