Kalariel the Vile: Scion of Orcus

Slightly rested you all prepared yourselves before the fight against The Doctor. You all started to descend the stairs after hearing the Doctor giving a message to an accomplice summoning an ally of Orcus to join him in the material plane. Azure went first, getting the attention of the doctor. You saw a large Arcane gate, larger than the one which drew power from Balthazar’s machinations before it stood the doctor and two shadow demons. As one of the demons retreated through the gate the Doctor addressed the party and invited them to witness the arrival of one of Orcus’ champions. At the centre of the room was a floor to ceiling cylinder of blood pouring from the roof top crackling with dark energy with flecks being syphoned into the arcane gate.

A battle started, large amounts of damage being dealt both sides but the Doctor used his immense magical power to down Ansem and Drogon in tandem and dealing a large amount of damage to Erebos however Arlo had the last laugh by shooting him dead whilst the doctor hovered in the blood cylinder.

With the doctor dead the souls started pulling from the walls of the tower and entering Azure, 9,999 souls to be exact and with the last his eyes went red and his jaw agape. With a growl and a devilish voice he was possessed. The voice announced “10,000 souls, the last is yours!” and crumpled Azure’s body to the ground. Azure was taken by the powers of Cania.

With the doctor gone the party could focus on the arcane gate and the demon attempting to breach, Erebos and Arlo fought the demon and destroyed the gate forcing the party to flee as the tower crumbled around them. Drogon who had suffered internal injuries was carried out by Drogon, Ansem who had been rejuvenated with a healing power grabbed The Doctors staff and made his escape.

The party now head back to Oxenburt, meeting a wood elf along the way whilst fighting a pack of Gnolls..

What awaits them in Oxenburt?
