Actually, Tsarmina kept backing deeper into the lake when Martin stopped because he appeared to be towering over her in Tsarmina's mind.

I think Gabool's death was satisfying because several creatures wanted to slay him. The irony of his death was amusing, seeing as how he used Skrabblag against his enemies. None of the creatures who wanted to kill Gabool failed to get what they wanted.

As for Zwilt's death, I thought it was somewhat unexpected, but it was clever how Jacques subtly hinted that someone besides Buckler might want to have their revenge upon the sable.
