Synopsis: The party battles and barely defeats a devil only to find another is in pursuit as they flee for their lives into the towers prison level...

This Session:

Stunned by Horins fumble, the party can but watch and listen as the devil complete his entrance through the gate. Taunting the party by telepathically commenting on their  poor state of health and offers to spare them if they but follow him back to hell to fight for him in a coming glorious war. While speaking to their minds he flys from the portal to land in front of Horin and Ragnum critically skewering Horin with his barbed tail, Ragnum with his pitchfork, and hurls a fireball at Gallandin to remind them of their weaknesses. Unobserved Luthaist leaps from the stairs onto devils back sword out ready to impale the devils spine - but fumbles and is incapicated as he unceremoniously slides off the leathery wings into a barely breathing heap at the devils feet. Aileens own backstab fares no better though she lands on her feet and moves away quickly to the shadows.

Shaking off the effects of Horins crazy action, Gallandin channels arcane enegy and lightening bolts the devil, while Ragnum calling out to Clangeddiin strikes hard repeatedly with a sword. Stirkirk charges headlong, his grandfathers battle ax high above his head and smashes it down on the devil with a satisfying crunch. Unfortunately their physical blows seem do little damage to do the creatures tough hide. The back and forth continues for there more rounds, the party steadily weakening as they take round after round of brutal fire and impaling strikes. Plodding forward the Lemurs continue to encroach and Gallandin dispatches two more with lightening while Aileen steps between one and Luthaist before it tries to slit his unconscious throat. Sensing victory at hand the devil pushes his attack as Horin, Gallandin, and Ragnum are down to single digit HP’s. Working together Luthaist now awake, and who moments before just barely avoided being crushed under the devils foot, tosses Aieleen up into the air as she finally lands a well placed backstab just under the devils head. Reeling in pain he twists to pull her off providing just enough of an opening for Ragnum, (aided in a combo attack by Horin) to land two hard hitting back to back divine smites. The devil shrieks and his form dissipates its essence streaming back into the gate.

Looking back at the gate the party notices a second devil coming through! In no shape to fight another battle Horin places a guardian of faith between the party as they rush up the stairs. The telepathic taunting resumes - this time there is no offer of “employment” but only a slow death. At eh top of the stairs they party startles Mourn who was busy picking the lock who now fumbles his attempt. Luthaist tries also but is unable to open the now jammed lock. A fireball explodes at the base of the stairs lighting the room with a flash of orange and wave of heat followed by, “Your little guardian is no more - now I’m coming fro you” heard in everyones heads. Ragnum smashes the heavy steel door open as they run through, now realizing they have no way to keep the devil from following.

A quick search and some dwarves metal work by Horin, Ragnum, and Stirkirk they fabricate a new latch and some wedges to jame the door shut. Working together and aided by a double critical success the door is sealed tight just as the devil attempts to smash it open. His force driving the steel further into the stone and making it now air and light tight. Stirkirk reports the sound of scratching (like writing or symbols) on the door and making nail on chalkboard sounds to annoy them before suddenly going quiet. Stirkirk mentions he feels it getting warm after the last blow but now reports no noise at all from the other side. The rush of adrenaline wears off and the party, their backs to the doors take a short rest ready to resume the fight.

Luthaist scouts ahead to find another locked set of doors at the end of a long curved hallway of what they now realize are prison cells. A low moaning, or is it sobbing? is heard coming form somewhere ahead. Ragnum steps into the first one and finds the disfigured body of Artagok splayed out ad apparently ritually sacrificed on the floor. It appears something burst out from his insides as a rapidly fading trail of blood leads away from the body. Ragnum blesses the corpse of Artagok who seemingly sighs contentedly as its freed from its desecrated remains. Trampled on the ground Ragnum finds a royal signet ring of clan Darzog.

Totally exhausted the party decided to attempt a long rest before opening more of the cells.
