The only problem was the armor wasn't Michael's to auction- his brother had dedicated it to his adopted son from Morytania, Ray. The young man had gone missing, however, so the armor sat ownerless somewhere in Falador.
The group traveled to the Monastery where Ray had lived and spoke to the monks there. Much to their surprise, one of the monks was choked to death with an abyssal whip by a man in black robes. The man said his name was Cecil, but he had previously been known as Ray, and that the armor was his. He agreed to give the armor up after being offered a share of the treasure.
A fake auction was held, and The Firemaker showed up as expected. Despite the group's best efforts, however, he was able to steal the armor and get away. Heartbroken, John prepared to return to the Grandmaster empty-handed when he realized The Firemaker had pick-pocketed him during the fight, he had stolen the teleportation beacon. John and some Guardians of Armadyl teleported to the beacon, right into the treasure-laden
SS Dawn
. They battled The Firemaker's crew on the deck, and chased him onto the rocks after his ship crashed, eventually defeating him.
The Firemaker was returned to Skyreach, however upon touching the treasure a cold voice spoke to them.
"Do you expect to have your riches without giving anything in return? You broke your deal, Armadyleans. I will have my payment, and the Guardians of Armadyl will have their reckoning."
Those that returned to Skyreach would find it covered in fire and ice. Selori, the ancient aviansie of the Library, stood above an army of ice warriors and skeletons, along with Cecil and The Firemaker.
"I was after the treasure in the Library, but you fools have since told me that Skyreach contains a far greater reward- the power to kill a God. I couldn't have my way in the Second Age, my body was killed and I was forced to inhabit this one. But now, Guardians, Zamorak's time has come."
