scene.  This huge sweltering cave stretches close to 150 feet across.  An 80-foot wide pit, filled with hungry clawing flames, is in the center, and a 30-foot wide 6 inch thick steel platform floats in the middle of the pit, right at the level of the tops of the flames.  Atop the platform is an altar of obsidian, glistening in the firelight but rough-edged.  The altar is flanked by two tall brass candelabra each holding five candles.  A large kettledrum also sits by the altar.  The walls are covered with elaborate images of fiery demons torturing people and thrusting them into flames.  This room looks and feels like a vision of hell itself.  The ceiling is 70 feet high.Standing on top of the floating platform (as seen in the attached image) is a female cultist who is beating on a drum with a strange tentacle rod.  A screaming man is chained to the altar, Torn recognizes the screaming man as her former party member Jurrikath Musseloto.To the right of the firepit, is an alcove that the party can’t see into from their current vantage point.  Several people are chained before the alcove (an old elven male that fits the description of Festalon Girrot the ambassador sent to negotiate peace between Verobobonc and the gnomes, a female Halfling that looks like your friend Olive, and a young adult female human with red hair).  Guarding the chained prisoners is a Salamander wearing red full plate armor covered in flaming skull imagery and wielding a barbed, all-iron greatsword.  Standing next to the Salamander is a male human cultist that you recognize as Lareth the Beautiful.       Round 1 (Party: Bless, Prayer)20: Lareth moves 60' towards the other set of double doors (away from the newly arrived party of cultists).19: Kerwyn (cursed, Haste, Bulls Strength,
