Session 60

A Hellish Town and Tavern

• The party makes their way from the large obsidian pillar to what seems to be a dilapidated town with a standing tavern in the distance. On the way, Myrion pulls Muta aside and tells her about the goblins' plan. Muta screams in pain because of the orb that caused a curse of pride in the ruins ahead.
• Muta seems to be on their last leg, seemingly not as confident as they once were, broken and with no hope.
• The party pushes on and heads into the tavern in town called the Firey Feast, but before entering, the party disguises itself as higher demons.
• The party enters a large group of demons feasting on flesh. Some make their way to the bar (Muta, Idris, Lazarus, and Myrion), and the others make their way to tables (Izen, Alkinn, and Wild)
• Lazarus starts to talk to the bartender and asks questions about where they are. He also asks about Kush, the demon they are searching for.
• They are interrupted by a demon sitting at the bar, who introduces himself as Makhaon, and instead of getting the answer from the bartender, they can get it from them. He also says that he knows that the rest of the party is not demons.
• Muta and he sign a hap hazzard contract, but suddenly, after Makhaon reveals his part of the deal, they turn on each other and the party, along with Makhaon's Cronies (Peleos and Lotis), battle each other. The other demons in the tavern get into the fight as well, trying to kill the party.
• It leads to the outside of the tavern, where Izen learns that demons are mostly immune to fire. The party can take out all of the demons except Makhaon, who vows to tell the hells that they have arrived and are intruders.

Information to get through the Layers

• The party goes to the demon bartender hiding behind the counter and forces him to answer the questions. He tells Lazarus that a letter was left for him from Kush. After some more questioning, they discover they need to get 3 Layers of hell through the river Stix.
• The Letter that Lazarus was given tells him not to try to save his mother, but this makes Lazarus want to continue his quest even more.
• With their questions fulfilled and wild leaving a smaller demon to a feast in the kitchen of the tavern, Idris incinerates the bartender demon, and the party uses his tavern to rest before continuing forward.

The River Stix

• The Party makes their way toward the River Stix, avoiding herds of demons and flying menaces. Eventually, they see the river and a ruin of bones built on the river.
• Myrion and Muta volunteer to make their way to the ruins first. Upon looking in the ruins, Myrion discovers the Delapitaded Lazarus.
• Muta walks into the ruin, not knowing about the corrupted Lazarus, and is attacked, which causes multiple bone devils to appear from the ground and the wall of the ruins.
• The rest of the party rushed toward Muta and Myrion, defeating the delapitated Lazarus and his bone devil minions, but this was not the last time that they were going to see the evil Lazarus.
• The party investigates the ruins and solves a puzzle with statues pointing to lights. This rings a bell and Hell's bell, which summons a mysterious figure by the dock of the ruins.
