Since I last posted, the characters:
- Traversed the Labyrinth of Darkness, which had the warped architecture and physics of an MC Escher drawing.
- They overcame a giant minotaur known as the Beast of the Labyrinth.
- Were ambushed by the drow enemies of our drow chaos mage. It was a surprisingly lopsided battle that cheered the players.
- Infiltrated the headquarters of the Cult of the Devourer, deep in the heart of the Stone Thief.
- Arrived in an amphitheater where the Cult was about to ritually sacrifice the Crone, an aspect of the Priest icon from a previous age.
- Hundreds of Cultists led by a Secret Master filled the amphitheater.
- The innocent citizens of Dungeontown were in thrall to the Master and being used as cannon fodder against the characters.
- Also, the Cult had control of the characters' souls, which through a series of complicated events were trapped in a handful of soul gems.
- An epic throwdown ensued, with 3 of the 5 characters reduced to zero hit points and making death saves.
- Unconscious characters were able to channel through the soul gems to psychically attack the the Cultists.
- While unconscious, the minotaur savage reached out to the Stone Thief and encouraged it to turn against the Cult.
- The elf bard used a magical flute to "pied piper" the citizens of Dungeontown and turn them against the Secret Master.
- The minotaur savage landed the killing blow on the Secret Master.
- The characters freed the Crone.
- They recovered their soul gems.
- The surviving Cultists hailed the human occultist as their new leader and the Last Master of the Cult.
