The Market Spirit, Part II (Erastus (VII) 15th, 4712 AR)

Galdron fought using ranged attacks such as searing light, and engaged in melee with his corrupting touch. He healed himself with inflict wounds spells during the battle.

Galdron eventually became solemn, and with a wave of his hands dismissed the remaining fire elementals. Tears rolled down his cheeks as the ghost explained, "In returning to my original self, I forgot who I had later become, and why I was right to do so." Galdron cast aside his short spear, and his armor passed through him to land on the ground with a thud. The ghost clutched at his chest and seemed to pull the flames from his body into his heart as he closed his fist around it. Squeezing, he formed it into a glimmering red gem - an elemental gem (fire) – which he also tossed to the ground. "It is not weapons or armor which prevent peace, but succumbing to wrath. I see this now. I will no protect the Green Market, as others must find their own unity, unmotivated by fear." The Shoanti, now no longer smoldering and smoking, levitated above his sacred altar, saluted to the heroes as though raising a spear, and then melded with the stone table. A few moments later, after the heroes collected their loot, the scene began to waver and they returned to the Green Market on the Material Plane.

When Galdron drew the flame from his heart it became an elemental gem (fire). There are a number of small beads formed from molten fire of his chest wounds which can be strung on a chain to make a necklace of fireballs (type I). The rest of him turned into dust of dryness.

Zeeva Foxglove thanked the Pathfinders for eliminating the Aspis Consortium threat - at least for the time being - but wondered if reports of giant plant monsters, ghosts, and outsiders may have contributed to this as much as the heroes' actions. Zeeva has the shrine permanently unearthed and restored as a fountain in the center of the Green Market in honor of Galdron Greenheart, which pleases Telmayne Fire-Eyes and goes a long way toward ensuring the market and the South Shore district have peaceful relations with the Shoanti. The spirit of Galdron Greenheart no longer punishes the sale of weapons, armor, and magic items. As such, the Green Market opens its doors to traders of all wares, bringing even larger profits to the community and, of course, to Zeeva Foxglove.
