Session 11

Elturel in Hell

PCs (lvl 5): Martin, Narash, Ozwald, Sylran, Theridhas

Sylvira sends the party to her fellow archmage Traxigor, a sentient otter living in a flying tower 20 miles from Candlekeep.

Traxigor is currently taking care of Lulu the hollyphant, a creature claiming to once have been Zariel's friend, when the archdevil was still a holy angel. Lulu joins the party, hoping to meet her long lost friend.

Traxigor casts the plane shift spell and sends the PCs to Elturel. The city is now hovering above the River Styx in Hell, slowly being pulled to the dark waters by magical chains. Legions of devils are fighting on the shores of the Styx againsts hordes of demons set on stealing Elturel for themselves. In the dark red sky, an ominous sphere of negative energy, a corrupted Companion, shoots lighting down on the city, destroying buildings and sending tremors running on the streets.

The party explores the city, here and there fighting devils and demons, and rescuing several citizens of Elturel coming out of their hiding places. From the they learn that Duke Ravengard from Baldur's Gate is gathering able bodies to the High Hall, where he hopes to organize the defenses of Elturel. With the rescued citizens in tow, the PCs make their way to the High Hall.
