[QUOTE="James McMurray, post: 321471, member: 743"] Cyndia does not notify the party of any changes, and they step out of the Guest House the next morning, right outside of the “warm tower” (the Tower of Portals is not frozen over). William leads the way, and Oskar follows. When Teflon Billy next steps out, a wall of ice appears behind him, trapping the rest of the party in the Guest House. “Our business is with Billy. The rest of you may leave.” Says a raspy voice from nowhere. Billy casts See Invisible and sees before him two Pit Fiends, an Osyluth, and another towering figure. Oskar asks what the business is and the voice (the Osyluth) again tells William and him to leave. When they refuse, two both Oskar and Billy are filled with terror, then turn to flee in fear. The Pit fiends follow, as does William, using his Wings of Flying. A wall of ice appears in front of the fleeing Billy, and he cowers at it, desperately trying to claw his way past. Then, floating in the air above him, a figure appears. Great feathery wings rustle above the large man-like creature. Its hands are surrounded in funeral wrappings, but its most prominent feature is its face. The creature’s mouth, if it ever had one, has been removed, leaving melted looking flesh in its place. The eyes are fiery gray pits. The creature waves its hand and Billy’s fear fades. As he looks up he recognizes the figure of Bune, Duke of Eloquence In the courts of Hell. “You have destroyed the Tome of Asmodeus’ son, and you must make amends.” Billy asks what he is expected to do, and Bune replies, “First you will find us a willing soul to be the catalyst for the tome. And then your flesh will become its cover and bindings.” Billy, none too pleased with that idea, declines, and fires off a disintegrate, which washes over the Duke harmlessly. He also casts Teflon's Encouraging Boot, and sics it on Bune, who scoffs at the large boot made of force. Meanwhile, the remainder of the party has managed to escape the Guest House when Galrond dismissed it, and they prepare to do battle with the Pit Fiends. William assaults Bune with spells (Destruction) and they too fail to destroy the fallen Celestial. The two fiends react in unison. Fiery blasts surround Galrond, Kargur, and Lanis. A charred and blackened Lanis crumbles to the ground. Galrond casts mass haste as usual, and the party flies into action. Galrond grants Kargur flight and he charges Bune, but gets grabbed by a Pit fiend on his way. Billy continues his disintegrate assaults, neither of which succeed. Bune Mass Heals the fiends, and Galrond casts See Invisible. When he realizes that they are up against several devilish creatures, he immediately follows the spell with a Gate, to summon the Planetar they had previously met. Kargur tries to return the attacks at the Pit Fiend, but cannot locate it to hit it. Both of the creatures unleash on him, forcing William to Mass Heal. Galrond dispels the two beasts’ invisibility, and Kargur strikes out. Both hit, mildly damaging one of the fiends. Oskar shouts repeatedly at Billy to make him flying, but Billy does not wish to put Oskar at risk, as it was he who brought the devils upon them. Billly casts fly on himself and moves straight up, turning invisible and redirecting the boot to the Pit Fiends. Bune charges William and drops him immediately, but Kargur rushes up to heal him. Bune’s eyes change from gray to Orange, and all around him feel themselves being crushed from the inside. The Planetar (who had managed to cast Invisibility Purge and attack a Pit Fiend collapses in upon itself, as does Kargur. Oskar, freed from the Fear by the Mass Heal, charges Bune. Bune takes the blows, heals himself and the Pit Fiends, and then rends William apart with the help of the two fiends. Galrond begins blasting, and Billy does too. The Pit Fiends charge Galrond and in one blast take him from slightly charred to almost dead. Galrond, having seen the damage done when his called Planetar was slain is crushed. He has just caused the death of a massive force for good. He thinks and then decides what to do. Calling open another gate, he drags a Pit Fiend through and orders the best to attack its friends. If it dies to the Implosion Gaze he will not care, but backup is sorely needed. The Pit Fiend’s battle amongst themselves, and Galrond flees back to the warm tower via teleportation. He then rapidly erects a Private Sanctum and a Guest House, where he plans to hide. His last words to the party are, “I will meet you on the shores of Mount Celestia.” As the fiends fight, Bune gets blasted several more times and flees via a gate. The Summoned Pit Fiend kills one of the other two, and then gets killed itself. Billy and Oskar chase off the last Pit Fiend, then Plane Shift to Celestia, where Billy teleports them to the village of Chun-Tzao, Oriental God of Hospitality and Courtesy. [/QUOTE]
