After a long and bitter battle the Guru and the Wizard were cast out of Sadim the Bully's Kingdom exactly as other rebelious or even innocent individuals had been cast out before.

Sadim donned the Gurus hat and cape and moved himself and his hunting clubs into the Guru's vacated abode. He danced with glee for he had once more prevailed and cast out those who were partaking of too much of the wine of respect within his Kingdom. The wine that was his alone to imbibe and then cast the leavings for his underlings to squablle over.

However the rejoicing of this victory was both premature and shortlived for this was indeed a hollow victory.

The Wizard was sent to the Place of Numbers where he could no more be of any consequence to the Bully. However, Sadim the Bully was obliged pay the Wizards salary even though the Wizard was no longer obliged to perform any duties for or even come in contact with Sadim the Bully. Other Wizards from the Place of Numbers would serve the Bully in the Wizard Nicollo's place. These Wizards were immune to the wiles of the Bully and whilst acting as professional Wizards refused to be cowed by the Bully and indeed thought him a complete nonce and treated him so.

The Guru was sent to the Lady of the Woods where he was at first treated with some suspicion. He was stripped of all shiny objects and sustenance and support but yet given the task of continuing to collect taxes (outputs) to fuel Sadims country retreat and ale house. This was a seemingly impossible task without any shiny objects or wizards to cast spells. It seems possible that Sadim may have rejoiced all the more for knowing this.

Howevever, the Wizard Nicollo offered the Guru some support and so too did the Techie who was now also in the Place of Numbers. Gradually other peoples did also come to the Gurus aid for he had spread good will throughout the land and had not been harsh in his collecting of taxes. The Lady of the Woods looked fondly upon the Guru as she had known him since he came from the North as a humble Folk Singer.

Meanwhile the Bully's world was changing in a way he must not have expected. Since his naughties with the expenses and his mishandling of Gurus and Wizards as well as other escapades told in these chronicles he was considered to be a bit of a loose cannon, headstrong and unmanageable (all the things he accused the Guru of). The Bully and his entourage were also sent to the Place of Numbers where they had litle respect and were obliged to toe the line. The Chancellor of the Externals ceased to bestow his munificance upon the Bully and he must instead pay homage to a lowly Deputy of the Place of Numbers.
