Session 38: The Mine of Djerg Thago Report

General Summary

The group begins the battle within the mine cart tunnels against a bat like demon known as an Echo. It proves to be tricky as it has the ability to teleport around, it's iron claws scraping against any metal armor is deafening. However the group is ultimately victorious. They decide to take a short rest in the previous barracks.   After their rest they are ambushed once more by a group of Echo's who teleport straight into the room. The party is caught a smidge off guard, however they quickly fight back. Interestingly enough they quickly find multiple Echo's are actually illusions. Only two Echo's have actually ambushed the party. They quickly defeat them and make their way towards the banquet hall they spotted down one of the mine cart tunnels.   Within the banquet hall the party find's rotting food, and a group of demons. Three what Jorin and Diala refer to as a Bearded Devil. A defacto shock trooper for the armies of the Abyss. They prove deadly with their glaives however the party quickly defeats them. The final demon with this group is a Barbed Devil. It throws some flames at the party, however Rothgar is quick to banish it back to the Abyss.   The party cross the hall to the other side and are ambushed by two large creatures known as Howlers. A deadly demon whose howl bring forth crippling fear to all those who hear it. They prove to be quite resilient as it takes the party quite a bit of effort to defeat just one of them. However they are successful. The party pushes north into what appears to be a large forge where they melt down the ore and turn them into ingots. Also hiding behind some barrels are three more Barbed Devils. All three of them prove to be a challenge to even the large group of adventurers. However once more they defeat these demons. Now they must go forward to explore the rest of the mine. With demons this dangerous. What could be leading them?
