"Actually," wondered Magnus as he and Khadgar rode the elevator
, "do we still need the Golden Gong anymore? We've already banished the artificial cloud cover created by the Dark Knight, by combining the powers of our magical items; now the sky should be clear all over the continent, and as a result the sun's light should make short work of any demons and undead caught in the open."
"You don't understand, Magnus," explained Khadgar, "the Golden Gong has a special
additional power; when brought into operation, it can
resurrect all living creatures of non-evil alignment within a 30-mile radius who have died of unnatural causes within 24 hours -- though this power of the Gong can be used only once a year. StoneRock told me all this before. And with so many dead and injured,
now would certainly be the time to use this power!"
At length the elevator stopped and the two archmages found themselves in a large chamber, at the far end of which was an alcove in the wall, in which rested a beautiful gong.
"That's the Golden Gong!" said Khadgar. "Come, let's grab it and go!"

By now all the remaining demons have been rounded up. "Good ta know ya, friend," replied the orc in response to StoneRock. "Ah'm
Druhk. Ah've been delivrin'em melons. Jes woke up from mah sleep when ah saw this mess. What's goin' on?"
Before StoneRock could reply, Magnus and Khadgar returned with the Golden Gong, and Sir Morgeruat could be seen coming towards the rest of the party as well, accompanied by a high elf. "Is everyone fine?" shouted Sir Morgeruat.
"We sure are," replied Rufus. "Got all those demons rounded up -- now it's time to subject them to some
interrogation!"
"Wait..." said Chun-Li. "Where's Jorlon?"
