The suffering game

The party started waiting for the results of the Trust of Forsake game. Unfortunately, they were not off to a great start as they had been Forsaken by the other adventuring team and sent to the next challenge at its hardest difficulty. They were teleported into an area filled with 6 gravestones, each marked with a different name. "Grimrock", "Drakath", "Alduin", "Ellwyn", and "Moredai". They then started to then be resurrected from each grave and attack the players. However Erebos went into full rage mode and slaughtered them with Arlo using is athletic ability to rain fire from above.

Then they moved through loops of Sacrificing, Trust or Forsake, being in a challenge and being given an option to play a bonus round of the "Recovery Game", "Healing Game" ,"Escape Game".

Sacrifices: Arlo = Intelligence -4, Acrobatics proficiency, Erebos = Scorpion, Javelin Proficiency, Dexterity -4,10 HP

Challenges: Monster Factory @ Medium Difficulty. A Lamia, augmented with Flaming Attacks and the ability to fly. Don't Blink, a maze of walled squares, blink dogs attacking the party and Blinker the clown firing spells.

After that was all completed they fought with Balthazar and discovered he was a Lich and killed his corporal form. However, his phylactery was not destroyed so he will soon regenerate.

Tamil Al-Bashir swore an oath to hunt down those who had been corrupted and sent forth into Avencia to reveal the location of the Phylactery.

Now the party wait on the island, hoping they can lure the attention of a passing ship.
