(or, putting the fiend in friend) Leofric‘s log: I awoke in the hot, dry basement of the ironmongers surrounded by the dozing unfortunates that had congregated there, a single goodberry that had escaped the hungry assembly had become a raisin on the floor such was the heat. It reminded me of some of the thermal…

Taken From Tunwéya’s notebooks: The darkness in which we had stood faded out to be replaced by an impossibly hot, burning vista of the ruins of Elturel. Lulu made the useful observation that the huge billowing flames and clouds of omnipresent choking smoke “smells like Avernus”, at which point Traxigor, and the summoning circle, vanished.…

The party interrogated the bodyguard who survived the attack by the cambion and her minions. He quickly acquiesced and explained that he’d been hired by the Hhune family to retrieve the Shield of the Hidden Lord.

The Levellers bought some magical armour from Sorcerous Sundries. Rivalen offered them some cut priced health potions in return for some help marketing the shop including bringing him back a trophy from Avernus. Tunweya decided he wanted to spend four days studying so he holed up in the Elfsong Tavern. Hinnerk and Darry won some…

The Levellers went through Xanthe‘s possessions and took what they wanted, the rest was stuffed into the bag of holding. They told Shanya about the contract and she took a copy of it. She suggested she might give them a job after they sorted out Elturel; except for Darry who she reiterated was exiled from…

The party managed to negotiate Darry‘s release and persuaded Captain Shayna to give them the box. They swore a blood oath with her to return Grand Duke Ravenguard as soon as possible. Darry was exiled from the upper city to be executed on sight if he returned. Shayna allowed them use of a room so…
