[QUOTE="skotothalamos, post: 8153410, member: 83398"] four months later. Mostly been playing Descent to Avernus content, with some Zeitgeist flavor. They traveled to Saltmarsh to steal the puzzle box from the Oweland estate. In doing so, things went very pear-shaped and B'alam the Tabaxi Sorcerer made a deal with the imp Billy Raoul who had been tagging along with the group ever since they killed his previous master. Billy Raoul saved the party form being captured and B'alam got a new imp familiar. In exchange, Billy Raoul told B'alam a terrible secret: his adopted home city of Sid Minos would soon be ripped from the world and transported to Jiese, where the "New Demonocracy" had set themselves up. B'alam was not allowed to tell anyone about this or attempt to change the events, lest he forfeit his immortal soul. They traveled to Sid Minos and destroyed the Shield of the Hidden Lord just in time to see Ashima-Ashimtu appear in the sky and inform the citizenry that their city was the century-deferred price for giving the Ritual of Apotheosis to the Clergy for the god trials. On the way, they stopped by B'alam's old mentor in the city, the Orc Wizard Gramagal. Unfortunately, B'alam couldn't contain himself and suggested that Gramagal go on a vacation. This was enough meddling to break his contract. His soul would now be the property of "Hell" when he died. And, literally the next session, as they were escaping the High Hall Cathedral, B'alam ran off on his own and encountered a pair of hellhounds and their handler. The party had scattered in four different directions and neither healer could get to him before he perished. Suddenly, the group had a new and terrible quest: free B'alam's soul from the infernal bureaucracy of Jiese. Conveniently, Sid Minos was already on its way there, so they made sure their ship could safely escape, collected one of their crew, a goblin gunslinger by the name of Niebla Tóxica, to assist, and sheltered in Gramagal's tower for the ride to Jiese. Once there, they discovered that three infernal factions were fighting over the planet, and each lay claim to Sid Minos. Not wanting to support devils, demons, or fallen angels, they roused a rebellion amongst the locals and then went in search of B'alam's soul. In order to free the city from its own infernal contract, they had to delve the vaults beneath High Hall Cathedral to find the original city charter. There they also found an undead clergy hierarch interrogating a Gidim in corporeal form. They freed the Gidim and conspired with it to defeat the corrupt clergy under the Cathedral. The Gidim claimed to be a space traveler who was accustomed to flying from planet to planet, but it was now also stranded on Jiese as his own ship was crashed in the mountains outside of Sid Minos's original location. so they enlisted his aid to make a flying ship to return to their own world. Gramagal tracked B'alam's soul to a junkyard run by a night hag named Mad Maggie, where the group discovered the wonders of infernal war machines. These war machines were fueled by soul coins, which were literally coins with souls infused in them. One of these contained B'alam's soul. Further research led them to discover that the contract for B'alam's soul was being held in a crypt for fallen paladins who were bound into service of one of the infernal factions. They infiltrated the crypt and retrieved the contract. With the contract, the soul, and the body (preserved via Gentle Repose and a Bag of Holding), they now had everything they needed to restore B'alam to life. The Death Knight guardian of the crypt thought they were grave robbers and systematically banished all of them back home to their own plane, unwittingly providing them the escape they needed just when they had acquired their last quest item. They are now scattered around the real world just in time for Christmas break. Several months passed while they were away. We will sort out everything that happened when we return in January!
