[QUOTE="Ormazd, post: 5987150, member: 24334"] A shadowy elven woman is standing on the deck of a ship cruising high above the blasted landscape of the nine hells. Suddenly, there's a burst of flame, and a beautiful human woman appears, accompanied by a dazed-looking tiefling. The beautiful woman, her cunning eyes shining, approaches the captain, some kind of githyanki merchant. She talks with him, laughing, her dark curls bouncing and shimmering in the light. She reaches into her purse, presenting an empty hand. Yet the gith smiles and nods as if he's never seen such a generous payment, and goes back to his work. The elf looks on dispassionately. Does not want to get involved. Suddenly there's a burst of fire and more people appear on the deck. A halfling, a human, an eladrin: An adventuring party. They're hurt, and confused. They seem to recognize the tiefling. The beautiful lady screams, spewing a vitriolic tirade at the adventurers who just arrived. They can't talk her down. She's possessive of the tiefling, but who knows what sinister plans she has for him. Even the elf shows a bit of surprise when the human woman's fingers and limbs begin to elongate and wings unfurl from her shoulders--a passion devil! She continues to berate the party even as more infernal minions arrive on her orders and begin tearing up the boat. The tiefling snaps out of it. He begins an impassioned plea with the devil woman as the rest of the people on board battle her minions--except for the captain, who quickly assesses the situation and vanishes into a portal. The ship begins to list and descend, while the deck erupts into chaos. Chain devils restrain and pummel the heroes while their infernal allies wreck up the place. Something the tiefling says makes the devil woman fly away. Apparently this is all his fault. Apologies don't cut it as the devils thrash the heroes even more brutally. Spells flash and swords clash. The boat is really plummeting now, and almost tips over. The tiefling leaps to the controls. His allies, and the poor elf bystander, are getting creamed, but winning, slowly. Eventually the last of the devils are driven off, but the ground was approaching rapidly. The halfling summons a hippogriff mount and the eladrin clings on awkwardly. The human is lifted by the halfling's magic. The tiefling rouses the unconscious elven bystander, and they prepare for impact. Crunch. The ship lands less than gracefully on the shore of a dismal lake in the middle of nowhere. The heat is oppressive and the landscape is bleak and scorched. The elven bystander is pissed and full of questions. Her quest may be jeopardized. The adventurers aren't too happy either. No one knows what to do. And then some more devils show up. It's a group of slavers, come for their souls. Time to fight. [/QUOTE]
