Session 30 RL13 18/1/4709 Devil Fortress Inferno

Barely has the initial battle ended and Vemi had a quick scan of Togomor's chamber, than Naglatha & Megrim arrive, followed by the angry Malebranche devil and his summoned barbed devils. At the same time a guardroom door opens and out come four newly-clad Gray Maidens. Kaz tosses Nagltha Serithtiel while Tsadok holds off the Maidens. The battle rages, the Horned Devil is sore wounded by Serithtiel and forced to withdraw. Kaz blocks the stairs down with a Wall of Ice, but soon six Erinyes teleport in all over the fortress level. Vemi's devotion to Zon-Kuthon protects him from their Unholy Blight. Naglatha fights like a fury, cutting down numerous mighty devils.
Eventually but one Gray Maiden still stands, yelling "For Ileosa & Korvosa" she strikes a mighty blow that fells Naglatha before she herself dies. Naglatha is saved by Vemi & Tsadok. The group are left standing amidst mounds of Gray Maiden and Devil corpses scattered through the first floor of the fortress.
The group search Togomor's room for his hidden stash then head upstairs to the Throne Chamber, where Queen Ileosa awaits accompanied by Gray Maidens, three Nessian Warhounds, and freshly healed Horned Devil. She commands the heroes to leave Korvosa...

Description

Serithtial is a +4 holy Zon-Kuthon bane bastard sword used in several crusades from Cheliax against Nidal, and finally used by the hero Mandraivus in his assault on Scarwall. Although made of steel, Serithtial is treated as being made of both cold iron and silver for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction. Serithtial glows with the equivalent of continual flame, but her wielder can extinguish or ignite this glow as a move action. In addition, the weapon gains a further +2 enhancement bonus and deals an extra 2d6 points of damage against foes who serve or worship Zon-Kuthon.

Destruction

Serithtial can only be destroyed if Kazavon—restored to life—or a great wyrm shadow dragon worshiper of Zon- Kuthon uses its breath weapon on the blade while it is unattended.

Session 29 18/1/4709 Assault on Castle Korvosa

06:15: In town, PCs Tsadok Vemi & Kaz are joined by two more rebel heroes, Bowfinger & Captain Hogan while Naglatha & Megrim go off to distract the local guard forces from the area. Encounter Sabina Merrin riding black dragon, she distracts her own mount, which is killed, and surrenders to the PCs, who take her back to the rebel base for questioning. She joins the rebellion.

Afternoon: Sabina, Vencarlo Orisini & co go to free the Gray Maiden prisoners from under Longacre Building and raise a ruckus while the PCs assault Castle Korvosa by air, evade a horned devil and enter the building, battling numerous devils and some sleepy Gray Maidens.
