De Luccia's returned to his work at the altar, even as the adventurers cut down his henchman.
The dark Paladin Arzanezra raced forward, but found himself slowed. Screaming in rage, he cursed at Kane.
"Come on, Bugbear! Show me what you've got!"
The flying demons clumsily circled the room, moving into a possible flanking position.
The flameskull fired a bolt at kruk, but the attack miss horribly. It retreated backwards, head bobbing above the altar.
The deathpriest stepped forward and fired a black bolt at Kruk. The black fire burned the dwarf slightly, leaving and opening.
The corrupted commander took advantage of the opening, charging forward with his battleaxe. At the last moment, Kruk was able to bring his shield to bear and just barely defended the attack.

Summary of Events
1. Bested Pirates en route to Allaria. Traveled on the ship
Wind's Will captained by
Captain Levenbrech, and mated by
Porse and
Trig.
2. Arrived in the port, to find it besieged by Lizards from the unending mire. Defeated lizards and met/teamed up with Charina.
3. Journeyed to Geardagas and asked the locals for information with mixed results (
link to the leads gathered).
4. Went to the temple of Netari, where the new priest,
Father Niris, has been tending to the ill (apparently quite poorly). He led the players into the catacombs, where his zombie minions ambushed. The priest, over confident, rambled on about
Hellview (
background reference for players).
5. Dealing a mortal blow to the Priest, he says
Master De Luccia (First time they have heard the name) cannot be stopped, and he stated that Greggor "
will be... among the first... at Hellview." The priest laid dying on the floor with his fallen minions.
6. As they approach Hellview, they encounter the ghost of
Sir Alistair Glasston, who begged them to enter the cave and retrieve his lost battleaxe.
7. They entered Hellview, and came across a portal, as well as some guards/workers. It seems they were using zombies to dig a new path near the portal...
8. They step through the portal into a bizarre world. A demon statue looms ahead, with a tall gate behind. The bodies of fallen adventurers, as well as a dead demon, lay about the floor. Wil Triggered the Demon statue trap, alerting the nearby demon's.
9. After a long battle, they slew all of the demons who had come through the hell gate, and they found
Sir Alistair Glasston's lost battleaxe. But Greggor was still missing, and there is the question of why the demons were digging.
10. Hergunna departed the group to alert the local militia, while the others pressed ahead North, trying to find the source of the demon-aligned miners, as well as the lost silver.
11. They came upon a wall blocking the road to the mine. Mounted knight
Brother Arleas leads a band of outlaws and zombies to defend the mine entrance. After slaying the Knight and half his men, the remaining wizards and archers closed the gate. The battle continued until only the fat temporal 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 some other miners. Greggor shows them a path recently carved from the mine into the Hellview portal tunnels. They are using the tunnel to subvert the protection which bars them from exiting the portal into Alaria.
