As they approach Hellview, they encounter the ghost of Sir Alistair Glasston, who begged them to enter&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; the cave and retrieve his lost&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; battleaxe.&nbsp; &nbsp;7. They entered Hellview, and came across a portal, as well as some&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; guards/workers.

They step through the portal into a bizarre world. A demon statue&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; looms ahead, with a tall gate&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; behind.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; bodies&nbsp; &nbsp; of&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; fallen&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; adventurers,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; as&nbsp; &nbsp; well&nbsp; as&nbsp; a&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; dead&nbsp;&nbsp; demon,&nbsp;&nbsp; lay&nbsp; &nbsp; about&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; the&nbsp;&nbsp; floor.&nbsp;&nbsp; Wil&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Triggered&nbsp; &nbsp; the&nbsp; &nbsp; Demon&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; statue&nbsp; &nbsp; trap,&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; alerting&nbsp; the&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; nearby&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; demon's.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;9. After a long battle, they slew all of the demons who had come through&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; the hell gate, and they found Sir&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Alistair&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Glasston's lost&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; battleaxe. But Greggor&nbsp;&nbsp; was&nbsp; &nbsp; still&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; missing,&nbsp; and&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; there&nbsp; &nbsp; is&nbsp;&nbsp; the question of why the&nbsp;&nbsp; demons&nbsp; &nbsp; were&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; digging.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;10. Hergunna departed the group to alert the local militia, while the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; others pressed ahead North, trying to find&nbsp; &nbsp; the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; source&nbsp; &nbsp; of&nbsp; &nbsp; the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; demon-aligned miners, as&nbsp; &nbsp; well&nbsp; as&nbsp;&nbsp; the&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; lost&nbsp; &nbsp; silver. &nbsp;11. They came upon a wall blocking the road to the mine. Mounted knight Brother Arleas&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; leads a band of outlaws&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; and&nbsp; &nbsp; zombies to&nbsp; defend&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; mine&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; entrance. After slaying the&nbsp;&nbsp; Knight&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; and&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; half&nbsp;&nbsp; his&nbsp; &nbsp; men,&nbsp;&nbsp; the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; remaining wizards and archers&nbsp; closed&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; the&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; gate.&nbsp; The&nbsp; &nbsp; battle&nbsp; &nbsp; continued&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; until only the&nbsp; fat&nbsp;&nbsp; temporal&nbsp;&nbsp; wizard, Alaria, remained alive. She pleaded for her life to be spared. 12. Alaria identified the men who hired her as being part of the Brotherhood. 13. They entered the mine and found Greggor with&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; some other miners. Greggor shows them a path recently&nbsp; &nbsp; carved&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; from&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; the&nbsp; &nbsp; mine into the Hellview portal tunnels. They&nbsp; &nbsp; are&nbsp; using&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; the&nbsp;&nbsp; tunnel&nbsp;&nbsp; to&nbsp; &nbsp; subvert the protection which bars&nbsp; &nbsp; them&nbsp; from&nbsp;&nbsp; exiting&nbsp;&nbsp; the&nbsp;&nbsp; portal&nbsp;&nbsp; into&nbsp; &nbsp; Alaria. 14. By the portal, they opened up the wall to reveal a hidden demon temple. Inside, Master De Luccia brings the demon Amendfohl (the same demon that Sir Alistair Glasston fought during the fall of Allaria) back to life. De Luccia Declared, &quot;The time for the Brotherhood of the Bright Eon is once again at hand.&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; The players slay the demon, and De Luccia offers them a deal where&nbsp;&nbsp; everyone just walks away. The players balk, and attack. DeLuccia drops&nbsp;&nbsp; Kruk and threatens to kill the dwarf if they don't leave, but the&nbsp;&nbsp; players press the attack, and kill the brotherhood master as well. [/sblock]Summary of Events&nbsp;&nbsp; 1. The adventurers return to Geardagas. They meet with Count Saga, who puts them on a quest to Alert Daunton to the Brotherhood threat and request aid for Allaria. They are joined by the mage Khemnos.2. They board the Wind's Will to return back to Daunton, but things seem off. The Captain and his second mate are missing; First Mate Porse seems to be running the ship, and he is his usual unfriendly self. Over dinner, they question Porse, and get a bad feeling about the Sailor's intentions. [/sblock]</blockquote>
