The group met over lunch to discuss which problem to tackle, to reacquaint themselves with Gakar, and to introduce him to some of the newer members.  Their conversation was interrupted by the arrival of a woman who was searching for her missing husband.  After much discussion about whether the group might know him, it was eventually decided that Terenar would attempt to draw him, while the woman, Shylana, described him.

Upon seeing the picture, Aerlene, convinced it was Resdin, left the tavern, whereupon she spotted some activity in an alley.  Approaching, she witnessed a shadowy figure that looked like Kuani reliving his final moments.  After he triggered the rune, Aerlene began to head back to the inn for the others.  As she retreated, however, the others were on their way outside where they explained that upon drawing a more accurate picture, it became obvious that the woman’s husband was, in fact, Kuani.

Upon seeing what the group surmised was the ghost of Kuani, there was much excitement, and Yor approached him to see what he was tracing on the floor.  When Kuani created the explosion this time, however, the explosion took on a multihued spray of different colours, which stunned and knocked out Yor, Damien and Rurik.

It swiftly became apparent that Kuani had gained in power since he was with the party.  Soon, both Aerlene and Camthalion had been struck down, and the ghost had sustained relatively little damage.  Terenar sought Matje in his room, and together they went to wake the woman who had been sent upstairs to rest.  Gakar, meanwhile, remained unmoved by the prospect of the group in trouble, and waited in the inn.

Matje rushed downstairs and joined the others in battling the ghost, while Terenar woke Shylana and told her that her husband was outside.  The pair of them followed on Matje’s heels, and at this point, even Gakar was moved to assist the group.

The tide of the battle turned when the incapacitated party members recovered from the effects of the colour spray or were healed.  Eventually, frustrated at the party’s evasive tactics, and his inability to kill any of the group, the vengeful ghost faded from sight, leaving his bereft wife sobbing, and the unit of militia, who at the last came to assist the group, with nothing more to do than ask questions.
