The party stands back as the scrag slaughters the party one by one. The mage of the evil group even turns invisible and flees. The fighter the only one left tries to flee but the troll claws him in the back stopping in his tracks. Borric and Jozane join into the battle at the end and put the scrags down to its misery. The cleric of Cyric is still breathing but Jozane wants to leave her be and go after the mage and the fighter. They race not long after and hear that the mage is bailing on the fighters agreement to get the Fiends Embrace and that they creatures are just to powerful and not worth the money. They both race to the next room which is filled with water, as Borric follows behind hiding in the shadows. To the rangers amazement they walk into a room with another scrag and the beast grabs hold of fighter and rips him apart. He hears the mage flee through the water splashing. Borric grabs the mage as he flees and calls him a coward and that they need his help and will pay twice the price for assistance. Mage doesn’t agree until Borric rips out his hair and breaks the spell. At this time the scrag is coming their way so Jozane cries in the name of Ilmater and raises his mace and runs into the room. The three of them battle it out and defeat the scrags even after the troll killed the mages familiar bat. They feel the water moving and can feel a rumble underneath the ground of the room. Out from under the water and the floor an umber hulk rises and claws Jozane and knocks him down. Borric races in and the mage starts casting. Before the umber hulk can use it confussion ability Borric goes into a massive fit and slice the beast down to nothing. Both Jozane and evil mage are impressed. Then deep in the tunnel from the room in the north they see red eyes in the dark and misty breath. The creature in a creeky, dry voice in rough common states “Who is within my domain? Leave if you know what good is for you”. Borric tries to be tough and states that they are here to defeat the evil within the ruin. The creature replies that he is the evil and that they must leave. The ranger then casts cats grace and the creature see’s this and the party hears a faint sound of something in the air like it waving in the wind. All of a sudden a portal opens in the room and giant vrock appears. The demon is caught off guard as the ranger jumps in and starts his work with his blades. The vrock lets out a huge screech which knocks the cleric down on his knees in pain. The red eyed creature in the back tunnels giggles and moves deeper into the tunnel. Borric and Jozane have a tough time trying to defeat the fiend as his powerful claws are ripping through all their moves. After a massive bloody battle Borric does down the fiend driving it back to the Abyss. All member the party are badly bleeding and need help what will be their next move as the evil creature is not far deep in the tunnel.

Borric drinks a potion of cure critical wounds and Jozane uses a spell also to mend their wounds as they hear the large fiend come down the tunnel again. The red eyes glare and in a rash voice it screams you killed my pet vrock and charges! The beast is a fiendish troll and he is wearing a flaming red cloak and he charges the mage of Cyric first. Borric turns invisible with another potion and heals some more as the troll tears the mage to pieces. The priest dives into the battle and hit the beast a few times with his mace as Borric jumps in from behind. The troll turns on Jozane as the mage is a mangled mess of meat in the water. Borric uses his mighty rapiers and cuts down the beast just before it was about to open another portal and summon in some dretchs. The troll screams that they have not seen the last of him as he hit the water and the red dies in it eyes. Borric throws a sunrod at it to burn the beast up and then they start healing up their wounds with potions and spells of Ilmater. About a few minutes pass and the troll rises again in surprised and hit Borric with its massive claws. The ranger figured the beast should be dead but it must be the cloak of the pit fiend skin that protects it. Jozane and Borric defeat the fiendish troll one more time and this time remove the cloak from its body and burnt it again this time the beast streams and yells and slowly turns to ash in the water. The two party members looted the bodies of the dead party of Cyric and find not really anything they need except a magical dagger which Borric keeps. So they decide it time to go to Orbis and get their reward and pay the dues. They use the teleporting stone and call Orbis’s name. In the change over to Mosstone they didn’t appear in the tower and Jozane feels a tad sick to his stomach. They look at Mosstone and it doesn’t seem the same there are people crying in tear as the tower before them pulses in red stones like a heartbeat. Borric uses his robe to open the door as it gives off heat and looks inside. As soon as they enter the tower is not the same it’s like a teleport portal to another keep. There are screams of women, children and men in the background and flowing lava flows along the walls. There is a black stone keep located right in the middle of the madness. The party runs to the black keep trying to find Orbis or what has happened. During that they get spotted by a party of barghests. The goblinoid wolves yell at the party to stop but they keep fleeing. Borric throws down the Fiends Embrace and uses the doorway into the keep as great spot to flank the beasts. The barghests race into the keep and the party starts to hack them. They have a little surprise with the dimension door trick but the party ends up defeating the beasts. Borric leaves the cloak there and decides to have a look around. They find a few junk rooms and one with a burnt up scroll on the wall but they can’t read it. Finally they come across a room with a large chain like mechanical humanoid shape chain thing in the middle of the room. Borric goes to hack it incase its evil but just when Jozane sees it move it too late the chains reach out and hook into Borric. It has a wicked female voice and speaks in a language they don’t understand but Jozane knows its unholy. The hooks and chains dig deep into the priest that he needs to almost heal again but finally Borric cuts through all the metal and it collapses and red mist shoots out of the body. The party hears more chains in the next room so Borric asks the priest for some help and casts bull strength upon him as he races into the room. Three unholy chain devils are in the room and they attack on site of the ranger. Jozane gets his wills together and goes in to help. The chain devils nearly finish the poor cleric with their powerful hooks even after casting protection from evil upon himself. After a long battle Borric destroys the last devil with a fit of anger and strength that he has never witness before of himself. The party now sits in the black stone keep listening to the wailing of tortured souls.

Hahahaha yup. It was a sad day yesterday as Borric and the faithful (can not hit anything priest) Jozane fell to the massive fists of a large earth elemental. :)
