Woock's eyes open wide with surprise as he heard those words, and disappeared.
Then a "Boo!" rang in Silver's head, and Woock showed up right in front of him. With his height advantage, the distance between the King and the gnome kept growing.

Vadskye, unfortunately, had a magic carpet and was soon racing ahead of the others. As he flew, Vadskye decided to talk to Woock about ressurecting Shadowcaster. It wasn't fair, he decided, to leave him out. Anyway, Vadskye wasn't going for the girls anyway. Just a chance to talk to the others, try to understand their motivations. At least, he managed to convince himself of that.

Deimos stayed in the Order fort. "This "truce" won't last forever, so I, instead of wasting my time partying, can study the... things in the enemy fort," Deimos thought.
He walked into a room. Though he had no way of knowing, this was Vadskye's room. He saw a machine that spewed silver stuff and had a helmet attached to it. Deimos put the helmet on. He was suddenly struck by a large amount of noise. A voice shouted "You trecherous magog!" Deimos knew that this was used to communicate with the dead.
Deimos: Wolfman? Shadow? Anybody there?
A large, etheral shadow appeared in front of the magog. With a shock, Deimos realized this was Wolfman.
Wolfman: Where... am I? Deimos?
Deimos: You might as well know the whole story. We made a truce.
Wolfman: NO! What does Shadow think about it?!
Deimos: Oh, you don't know?! Shadow is dead.
Deimos expected Wolfman to cry, shout, or try to kill himself. What he didn't expect was for Wolfman to release a sigh of relief.
Wolfman: Shadow isn't dead.
Deimos: How do you know?
Wolfman: I haven't seen his soul.
Deimos breathed a sigh of relief.
Deimos: Alright, now we'll work on ressurecting you.
Wolfman: No.
Deimos: "No"? Why not?
Wolfman: I.. want to give Shadow a chance to get his revenge.
He told Deimos Shadow's story.
Deimos: Dang, and I thought my past was bad.
Wolfmann: Why?
Deimos started explaining.
Deimos was a baby. His mother was pushing a cradle along, singing. His father was talking.
Father: Lord Mvass is angry. He wants to send you and Deimos away.
Mother: He won't.
Deimos was a teenager. He was used to bowing to the fire elementals and demons. He knew that he was inferior to all other Inferno inhabitants, for his mother was an Ice Demon. One day, a bunch of fire demons busted into their house.
Demon: Move, move, move! Get out, right now!
They took them to a concentration camp. They had to work there. One day, a demon came swinging his sword.
Demon: Whelp, I killed your mom just now. I also killed your dad.
Deimos: I'LL KILL YOU!!!!!!
Demon: Sorry, but I've got to kill you too. Rules and regulations, you know. If I disobeyed, Lord Mvass would kill me. I didn't want to kill them. Good people, they were. Knew your father, I did, from the army. Stronger magog I've never met. But what could he do against Lord Mvass?
Deimos: If you think it's wrong, why didn't you run away?
Demon: I'd be killed. But look, I'll sneak you out.
So he did. Just as they snuck past the execution field, Deimos leaped into it.
Demon: What the heck do you think you're doing?!
Deimos: Die, Mvass!
He rushed toward the fire elemental, claws swinging. Mvass raised a fireball, but Deimos ran into it. The next thing he knew, he was falling into a grassy field from the Inferno. He looked up, and the gate was gone.
Deimos: Someday, I'll get my revenge.
He saw a poster advertising the Chaos Party, and joined the war.
Wolfman: Wow. Mvass was a jerk to us. He even betrayed us.
Deimos: Yeah, at least now he's dead. Guess-
Suddenly, Wolfman disappeared. In his place stood the ghost of Mvass.
Mvass: How dare your father marry an Ice Demon?!
Deimos: You're dead. I don't care.
He stomped out of the fort, and went to the party, intending to tell Silver about Shadow.

RSF sits down to read a nice long book. After he's finished, he looks at his watch and twiddles his thumbs for a little while longer and then leaves the fort at a slow easy pace. After a few more minutes, he glances at his watch again and decides to pick up the pace. RSF goes into a brisk jog at his sped up time until he spots some other guys in the distance. Then he decides to recover for a bit and then sprint by them.
After zooming by everyone else, he stops to look back at their efforts to be first. He laughs and heads out again. A few minutes later he passes by Vadskye and later arrives at a tavern. He walks in and sits down. The place is kinda quiet for a party and the girls haven't showed up yet. After a few minutes, Vadskye shows up first and so does everyone else. But where could Consis be? RSF decides to go get a drink behind the counter, but the entire place suddenly disapeers and everyone burst out laughing. A note is on the ground.

The Gnome Of gnomes
Silver stops, looks around, and decides to keep walking. He wonders how it is that he is so smart. "Ah well", he thinks to himself, and continues forward toward the mountain with the cave entrance to the deep gnome settlement far beneath the earth's surface.
Silver: "Heh heh, can't wait for them to get to the caves. My magic is amplified the closer I get to my home. Poor sods, ah well it'll be a hoot! In fact, I'll create this illusionary cave entrance next to the real one! Ha! They'll run right into the side of the mountain. I'll mark the real one invisible. The illusion should fade if someone touches it but how many swollen heads before then? Ha!"
He continued on through towards the caves that led down into the bowels of the earth humming to himself a gleeful song of merryment. He chuckled a bit in between verses as he began to hop and skip through the path.

Vadskye: "Hey, look! Silver went that way! Get him!"
Everyone runs to get Silver for that mean nasty trick he played on them. 
Vadskye leads the charge, being able to fly, and noticed a cave.
Vadskye: "He must have gone in there! Get him!"
Everyone: "YAAAHHH!"
Vadskye: "Almost in!"
SMACK!
Vadskye: "gjlljjflfdsjlf"
Dingo: "He's been knocked senseless!"
Vadskye: "gibbergibber"
Everyone else charges in to the cave, and promptly everyone has a splitting headache. Dingo absently sets Vadskye against a wall to take care of the others, but Vadskye sinks right through the wall! Dingo doesn't notice, having already turned his back on Vadskye, but RSF noticed immediately.
RSF: "The entrance is over there!"
He pointed with his finger toward the area where Vadskye was. Soon, after only a few more bumps, the entire party was inside. Unfortunately, Vadskye still was raving like a madman.

Good To Be Home
Within the network of caves brought a new sense of safety to Silver. As he approached this turn or that drop in elevation it brought back memories of when he was just a wee little gnome playing hide and seek with his friends.
At the time he could hear the others making a loud comotion far behind at the entrance as he merrily skipped along. Along with the joy came yet another idea for an illusion. This time he decided to create a dancing monkey who would ask for an admittance fee into the deeper parts of mountain.
As he passed through a small out cropping of toadstools he cast the spell and gave the monkey a tollbooth. At the top of the booth read the words: "BARRELS FOR BANANAS"
He conjured the monkey to offer barrels for the gaining party for the price of some tasty bananas. They could hop inside and the monkey would roll them down the cavern of their choosing. The monkey would pitch the idea of rolling down the caverns much faster in a barrel which would help them catch up to Silver.
Behind the monkey were three tunnels. The monkey would also ask for payment on advice for which tunnel was the right one that led to the deepgnome settlment.
The illusion was more powerful in the caves so if the monkey or stand was touched they would not dissapate this time. Also, if the monkey became angered by being cheated out of some tasty bananas then it had the power to turn into an imaginary giant cave mole!

Woock's bellowing jolted Vadskye out of his temporary insanity. Jumping to his feet, he roared back.
Vadskye: "HEY! WE'RE ALLIES, AT LEAST TEMPORARILY! YOU CAN'T KILL HIM, BY THE RULES OF THE TRUCE!"
Woock floated back up to the others.
Woock: "Well, I wasn't really going to..."
Vadskye: "I don't care! If you had bothered to wake me up first, then you wouldn't have come so close to breaking the rules! You know I can dispell illusions with some success, or at least counter them. I..."
Woock: "Okay, okay, I get it. Sorry! Now haw do we get him back for whisking the tavern out from under us?"
Vadskye: "We do the same to him."
Woock: "Um, we don't have a tavern handy..."
Vadskye: "Oh. Right. Well, the same type of thing. I'll work on that."
Woock: "So, what do we do right now?"
Vadskye: "Um... Roast marshmallows?"

As RSF began to roast marshmallows, his mind began thinking of pleasant memories. All the ghost stories he would tell around the fire. All the camping trips he used to go on. In his early childhood, he went on a camping trip with his family as well as Shadow's family. Their parents used to be quite close up until they were killed during the war. Everyone was sitting around the fire eating marshmallows. They were telling stories and having a good time. After a while, another family showed up. They were a fairly young couple with only a daughter. She had the long, brunnette hair that shined in the moonlight. She was quite shy around strangers and was quiet for most of the night. It took all night for Shadow and RSF to get her to talk and be friendly. When they asked of her name, she said it so softly it was almost a whisper. Her name was Shiela.
RSF shuddered at the thought. He snapped back into reality, realizing that both of them were now dead. His best friend Shadow was dead and his fiancee was long since past. But that wasn't the worst of it. Not only had he let Shiela die, but he also killed his old best friend. And he had simply tossed away his body to rot in a closet. RSF decides that he must retrieve the body and give him a proper burial ceremony. However, he is not able to face his old friend, so he sends off some servants to the Chaos Fort. Not feeling like joining any party, RSF goes back to his quarters in the Order Fort and takes some time to himself.

Vadskye: "*Sigh* It's about time to get back to the forts. RSF had the right idea. Woock, could you go tell Silver we left some marshmallows for him?"
Woock: "Sure."
Woock tells Silver that there are some marshmallows left for him while Vadskye packs up and secretly casts a spell on the marshmallows. Eventually, everyone goes back to their forts except for Silver, who decided to snack on the marshmallows. Each time he put one in his mouth, however, they seemed to shrink. Disgusted, he prepared to leave when he saw a note on the floor of the cave.
Ha ha, it looks like you fell for my Airless Marshmallow trick! This is payback for the Tavern.

It had been so long.
Shadowcaster lay still in the closet, very near his end, now barely able to even maintain any form of steady thought anymore. He squinted through the darkness at his fatal wound and wondered why he had been granted such endurance and not simply left to die, to finally find peace which he had hoped for in revenge. It was now clear that only death could provide him peace now. The shadow mage was ready to die, he wanted to die, yet he couldn't. In his eyes, there was no longer any need for him here on this earth; he was obsolete.
Slowly, the shattered mage slipped out of consciousness and began to become more and more aware of the afterlife that he was slowly entering. His soul wrenched around in his body, as if struggling to be free from this war and his grand plans of vengeance, but it could not get out, he could not escape. The shadow mage would find no peace in death quite yet. If he had had the strength, he would have finished the job that his rival had started that day in the hall. He often wondered to himself why he had been allowed to live so long, though he did not know how long he had actually been laying there.
It had been nearly a week.
It was much too dark in the cramped closet to see much of anything, but sight seemed of little consequence to the shadow mage. He had seen all he needed to see, all he wanted to see, and he began to slip further away. Shadowcaster smiled to himself and waited to die, closing his eyes and embracing the afterlife he was gradually entering. All of this torment, it would finally end. But he still did not die.
Instead, as he lay there, silent and alone, Shadowcaster began to hear a faint whisper that seemed to echo throughout his head, a somewhat familiar voice that rose in volume and clarity as it spoke. At first, he couldn't quite make out what the voice was saying, but as it grew clearer, he recognized the owner. It was Dragon_Slayer, his enemy. Though he tried, the shadow mage still could not make out the words. Gradually, though, he began to understand.
"Shadowcaster, can you hear me now?"
The shadow mage did not know how to respond, he was too weak to speak aloud, but he used what little energy he possessed to concentrate and began to think what he wanted to communicate. He hoped it would work.
"Yes, I can hear you."
"Good."
Shadowcaster groaned in relief, as he did not have the energy to sigh, and DS continued on, aware that the shadow mage did not have much time left before he was completely gone. "Shadowcaster, you must listen to me. The war...has ended--"
"Ended?!?"
"Save your strength, please, you must stay alive."
"I'll be fine. Why did you come to me? We are on opposite sides."
"That's what I came here to say. A truce has been called, and, for now, the two parties are unified, celebrating the peace that has been long since overdue and enjoying the company of those they just recently have tried to kill. They are together…they are happy; sorrow holds no place in their hearts right now. It's only temporary, mind you, but it is a solemn reminder that this war has torn the people apart. The god of spam's dream of utopia is ruined, and now even he has been forced to join the ranks, and over what? A mere food product! How petty of us all."
DS was breathing heavily as he spoke, and he continued on at a faster pace, his voice becoming more impassioned with each new breath. Shadowcaster was compelled to listen.
We should all be ashamed, me especially. Only death could open my eyes, but now that I see the big picture, I see that this war, your rivalry, this whole mess has sparked an age of unbridled hate, an age where no one can ever feel safe. Can you honestly remember a day since you escaped from the Order dungeons that has not seen it share of fighting? I can't. Think about that."
Then the voice faded.
Shadowcaster was silent, yet stunned. DS was right. Fighting had become a way of life for everyone, and each new day only brought more bloodshed and ruin in its wake. The war wasn't anywhere near over, and even in this time of peace, war loomed on the horizon. No matter how much anyone tried to stop it, the reckless hate that was ever-present in this war would continue to reign until one side eventually prevailed over the other. Only with added death could the fighting stop, and Shadowcaster no longer wanted to fight, but he knew that he would, out of instinct, like an animal. As he strained his mind and realized the awful truth, the shadow mage's concentration gave out and the world he knew faded away into obscurity and gave way to nothingness. He was dead.
Or so he thought. Suddenly, a spark lit up within the shadow mage and he found himself once again in the stuffy closet in which he felt he was doomed to die. He was still barely clinging to life. The shadow mage cursed whatever held him from his peace and began to vehemently try and kill himself. Shadowcaster strained his muscles just as he had pushed his mind just moments before and reached for his dagger, but it was not there. RSF had taken it away, just as he had everything else that had once mattered to the shadow mage. Nothing mattered now. He cursed his friend and again cursed that which kept him alive, then waited longingly for death.
Suddenly, a calm, quiet voice entered Shadowcaster's mind, another message from beyond the grave, and asked him one simple question. He listened uncaringly as the voice began to speak.
"Why do you curse my prayers for you, Shadowcaster?"
The shadow mage's eyes widened and he tensed as he recognized the voice and realized to whom he was speaking.
"Sheila...?"

Unaware of Shadow's Epic Moment, Vadskye decided to call a real tavern party, not that stuff Silver had. He had worked hard on this. Each room was suited specifically to each member's tastes. There was a center room for social mingling, where Vadskye could understand his allies' motives in idle conversation. Vadskye could read faces very effectively, and he thought this quality would be useful. Vadskye sent the invitations, hoping for a response.

As Deimos stepped out of the Order Fort, he ran right into RSF. Deimos quickly drew his claws and put them to the time mage's neck before he could react.
RSF: Geroff! This is a truce!
Deimos: I know that.
RSF: There's a party! Why don't you go there?!
Deimos: Ha! Idiot! Trying to get rid of me... I don't thinks so. I know something you don't know!
RSF: And what's that?
Deimos: Ha! Wouldn't you like to know? Well, I seek revenge on you.
RSF: What for?!
Deimos: I know what you did.
RSF: What do you mean?!
Deimos: You killed Shiela.
RSF: So?! What's it to you?! Besides, Shadow killed her!
Deimos: She was my friend. Shadow was forced to kill her.
RSF: Your friend?! HOW?!!
Deimos told the same tale he told Wolfman, but added the one thing he concealed.
Deimos: Before I went through that gate, I went through other gates to this world. I used to be able to turn into a human. I befriended Sheila. I used to travel through the gates before they became illegal. She always used to come. She told me about her friends, Shadowcaster and RedSoxFan. One day, she told me that she was going to marry Shadowcaster. I was saddenned, for I hoped she would marry me. However, the next day, she came back, crying. Shadow has betrayed her. I was angry. She informed her that she was going to marry you. I was going to go to the wedding, but then I was arrested. Now I know that she is dead.
RSF: How?!
Deimos: Wolfman told me.
RSF: Wolfman's dead. Oh...
He realized that he found the machine.
RSF: Did you see... Shadow?
Deimos: And so comes my second bit of news, genious. Shadow's-
RSF: Yes, I know, I need to bury him.
Deimos began to say something, but was knocked out by Dingo's slapping hands.
Edit: Deimos does not have resistance or magic spell immunity of any sort as it was never mentioned until now. The edit was made after he was slapped by Dingo, therefore this would be unfair to Dingo.

Dingo was walking and talking with RSF. It was a long walk and they were almost at the Order Fort.
RSF: I can see the Fort.
Dingo: Good, its been a long walk.
RSF kept talking about how Shadowcaster deserved a proper burial. Dingo however, saw a rabbit and tried to catch it. The Rabbit was fast. Dingo thought if he caught it, maybe Vadskye could turn it into a Caramel Rabbit. Oh that would be good. After chasing the rabbit for a few minutes, Dingo realized he would never catch the rabbit. Dingo looked around and saw the RSF was gone. Dingo quickened his pace towards the Order Fort. He saw a hill and thought it would be faster just to go up it, than around it. When he reached the top he saw Deimos holding RSF by the throat. Dingo went down the hill and sneaked up behind Deimos. Dingo heard the conversation. Yep, Deimos was crazy. It was official now. Dingo Slapped Deimos beside the head.
Dingo: Oh! I bet you didn’t see that one coming!
RSF: Thanks a lot. I can’t believe Sheila wanted Deimos to.
Dingo: You should forget about her, she is a snow.
RSF: Hey Shut up, she was a very good friend of mine!
Dingo: Sorry. I doubt she was even interested in Deimos. I doubt anybody would want Deimos.
RSF: We should go find and help Shadowcaster.
Dingo: Good Idea. Deimos shouldn’t be a threat for a while. I’ll have him help us, help Shadow, and then I send him to the dungeon or something. Hey Deimos, we need some entertainment. Do cartwheels all the way to the Order Fort.
