Alright, would sat the second work for anyone, starting at 3pm then say? If not, how would next week look, 9/10?
Session 10 summary
After the tense last battle, the group took a moment to recover and lick their wounds in one of the nearby rooms. During said time, Dinnus finally managed to catch up, after his excursion on the infinite staircase, having found it to lead to a Rudd warehouse, and spending some time conversing with what was going on. He met with Flint, more than a bit peeved, and spent some time catching up with Uther and debating about what to do... Before, finally all of them deciding to push forward once more.
Heading down the staircase, they found Rudd, by now clearly complicit in this matter- Trying desperately to get the group to return back upstairs, trying to call out her authority... Naturally, this doesn't quite work as hoped, eventually causing her to pull out her secret weapon. A wand she had collected earlier, pointing it threateningly at the group!
Uther was not going to allow this to pass. Fey stepping close, he quickly managed to disarm the noble that, indeed, wasn't quite made for combat, before trying to knock her out. Sadly, it did fail, as the trap was sprung- A familiar voice calling out for the woman to join him, as all the aberrations, previously hidden in the darkness of the room, began to attack- And Uther, having rushed ahead, took the brunt, almost dying..!
Luckily he manages to escape, returning to the relative safety of the backline, as the battle ensues, and the villain shows himself. It's "the prince", Loreal again- Though he quite plainly states while that may not be his name, they can keep calling him that if they like. A brief speech about how each time he gets killed, he just gets sent back to the abyssal plane- There to have "fun" with the group all over again.
His trap was not enough however, the party slowly winning... As a last resort, the devil charmed Dinnus, swaying him to his side as he felt himself compelled to fight! Dragged in close, as the first strikes began to fall against the devil, he delivered a devastating kiss to the man in question, having him collapse on the floor! The others looked to finish off Loreal as he slowly laid bleeding out, before he could try and charm someone else...
But Dinnus wasn't going to take being charmed, then downed in such an embarrassing manner. Channeling hidden strength, with the last of his power he got up- And immediately struck down with a flurry of holy blows! As the sword, imbued with holy force, went straight for the demon's neck he left a couple parting words:
"See you tomorrow."
With Loreal slain once more, the adventurers had time to locate, and fix the seal- Just in time for the rest of the nobility to arrive once more, having brought in more reinforcements. After some consideration, it is decided to reward the adventurers for their efforts, and their silence about the whole excursion. Just a little signature on a "little" contract, as the group found themselves rewarded with a hefty pouch of coin, and some magical items.
