The True Beginning of Our End

"The True Beginning of Our End" is the sixteenth episode of Verse 4 of the Ballad of the Nightmare Krew.
==Official Description==
"The Dark One stands before the Nightmare Krew. After all their struggle, the Krew's Sorcerer Serpent makes good on a debt from a Dice God and wishes: 
I WISH ALL THE POWER OF THE BEING STANDING BEFORE US, WHO IDENTIFIED ITSELF AS VECNA THE UNDYING ONE, WAS FOREVER AND PERMANENTLY STRIPPED FROM IT, AND THAT DIVESTED POWER SHALL BE SPLIT AND BESTOWED UPON ALL LIVING MEMBERS OF THE NIGHTMARE KREW FOR ALL TIME
And so a divine struggle took place, the Dark One on one side of the wager, and the Krew, all their hopes and struggles, and their Dice God on the other. And what was the Dark One, in the face of such glorious force of will?"
==Summary==
After defeating Vecna with a Wish spell from Halifax, the Nightmare Krew battle the Elder Brain known as Sanctuary in its newly-reclaimed seat of power on Oryndoll.
Sanctuary, deeply injured but not defeated, retreats from the fight and swears to uphold its end of the bargain struck with the Krew: that it will not prey upon sentient beings or seek to subjugate their system.
Returning to the Lucid Dream, the Krew learn they have been hailed by N'Dorin Krass with a request to return to Bral, where they will reunite with Rioshi Valtameri and seek some respite after their quest.
