"GO GO GO GO GO!!!" I had rowed back to the boat as fast as I could (so pretty slow, I'm in terrible shape), Telrrax was still out cold but I got back to the ship and started screaming and flailing.
"Is she dead?"
"Possibly WE ALL WILL BE IF YOU DON'T MOVE THE SHIP!" I was shouting and trying to get people moving but people weren't really moving or listening or doing anything.
"IS THAT VOLCANO EXPLODING?" I sighed because WHY DID THEY THINK I WAS SHOUTING!!! Thankfully they caught on that yes the Volcano was about to explode and yes we were all going to freaking die if they didn't move their dumby dumb asses so surpingly they got moving. The volcano wasn't apparently just exploding it was destorying the island, I could feel the shockwaves of power pulsing (who knew killing a god can destroy the island that was his place of power? Oh everyone knew that? Everyone knew that).
Some after this adventure research ( yes I do that, look I like to know what I killed and how screwed up I made the world, yes its after I screwed things up, but come on!) showed that the god that the councilman had become was some island god of harvest that had been worshipped by an island people who got wiped out by another group of no one cares. Which left the god a little pissed, a little less "all life is sacred" and more "I will destory life with life" crazy. I had thought without worshippers god's die, but apparently they can just slowly go insane, corrupt an idiot to allow them in, and then be wiped out by a necromancer (that last part is not a given!). If we hadn't stopped councilman crazy the world would have become a very ugly place in a short order, it was actually amazing he hadn't actually been driven mad prior to us arriving (well madder, he wasn't exactly a rational dude to begin with).
The trip home was uneventful (aside from my vomitting). Telrrax recovered blamed/thanked me for what had happened and then went about returning to her job of tracking down the Red Hand traitors (I don't know why she considered them traitors I mean they were all still following their own government!) I returned to my shop which Nidget had managed actually well (he only stole 10% of my profit amazing restraint). I never did find that cold collar that started this whole madness, but I'm sure that won't come up again or anything.
Yes I know by saying that it will, it always does.
