| Stygian Dock |
The party leaves Bel's forge together with Balakros, an imp at the service of the pit fiend. Balakros guides them to the River Styx, where they embark on an iron barge captained steered by a Bone Devil and its crew of Merregons.
After a few hours of travel on the Styx, the barge is stopped at a stygian dock by the presence of Zariel's Flying Fortress, docked for refueling. While they wait for the fortress to complete, they explore the docks.
There they're approached by the dockmaster, Bazelsteen, a horned devil with a passion for mechanical experiments. Bazesteen has created a bathysphere to dredge the bottom of the River Styx for silted souls. He makes a deal with the party: if they "test" his machine, he will make a few improvements to their infernal machines, and will also give them a Soul Coin.
Ozzie and Narash eagerly agree, and julp into the bathysphere. While they're dredging the bottom, a horde of demons attacks the docks. The devils repel the brunt of the invasion, but the party is still forced to fight a glabrezu. When the demons are defeated, and the party has completed the dredging operations, Bazelsteen rewards them as agreed. Not long after the flying fortress leaves the dock, and the iron barge can proceed its voyage.
Eventually the party disembarks, and after a few more hours they arrive at the site where the sybriex s kept. The demon is tortured by an arcanaloth and a couple of chain devils. The PCs have a short discussion with the fiends, and then they try to address the sybriex directly.
