As part of this plan, Tarnum sent Grumba to retrieve the Pendant of Total RecallPendant of Total Recall. Once he found it, he left part of his force to guard it for Tarnum before going off to find and trap King Targor's forces before they could escape. The plan succeeded and King Targor turned against Vorr before being killed. With the World Tree successfully defended, Tarnum, Grumba and their forces pursued Vorr to the Fiery Moon.

On the way, they came across the familiar, Skizzik, who acted as their guide. Grumba initially suspected him of being a spy, but grew to like the familiar when he showed the boldness to stand up to Grumba. When Tarnum's forces finally caught up to Vorr, a fierce battle ensued. Vorr commanded powerful magic and Grumba was killed, consumed in a blaze hot enough to melt steel. Tarnum was forced to retreat and Grumba's role as second-in-command was later filled by the familiar, Skizzik.
