The smoke had cleared. Voxen, Alvar, and Peck stood there and looked at each other. Atop four nearby shanties stood 4 humanoids dressed in Red clothing, red masks with Studded Leather armor. They each drew a flaming sword from their scabbards.
One of the enemy ordered Alvar to give up his sword, but Alvar simply said, " You will have to pry it from my cold dead hands." The enemy attacked. Voxen called a small storm that hovered over an opponent a moment before letting down a bolt of lighting that the enemy dodged. Brianna went to work healing damage from the explosion that tore apart Pecks house. One of the enemies overswung and lost his sword (rolled 1;3) near Alvar, where reaching it would cause an Attack of opportunity. Voxen turned into a small flame elemental which stunned the enemy in front of him. Alvar, mustering his strength and skill, sliced completely through en enemy, (Crit threat, 20, 20, Crit) Alvar's sword smacking the enemy's sword and it landing in the chest of another enemy that Peck had moved to attack. After the last enemy fell, 8 more Red suited enemies appeared nearby.
Then a hail of arrows and crossbow bolts filled the sky, and the Red enemies fled. New characters, dressed in dark clothing and running through the shanty town chased the opponents towards the north.
Jerome was up at this point, and two shady characters approached. One, a female Teifling with a pointed tail and the other a human. They answered some of the questions and provided a map of the sewer system to Peck to help him get to his fathers estate.
The party went to a temple of Tymorra, called the Lady's Hall to get healing when Chanthalas Ulbright, the resident Cleric, gave a tome to the party. The tome was the Tome of Understanding. What luck, in the temple of the Goddess of Luck.
The party crept through the sewers to the estate of Garric Godfrey and came up through a ladder into a closet in the basement of the estate. Peck went to investigate and located a dead body. It was one of his fathers trusted bodyguards. It appeared his had clawed at his forearm repeatedly, but otherwise died from wounds.
Peck went up and scouted above and saw another of the bodyguards. He lured him into the basement where the party was able to disarm his armlet, deciding it was the cause of the strange behavior. The party went upstairs and lured another bodyguard into the basement and disarmed her armlet as well.
Then the party went to investigate upstairs and soon there were more bodyguards, both Garrick's personal and a large group of hirelings that were working for Xanthad. Voxen stayed below and fought the horde while the others raced upstairs and confronted Garric and his last bodyguard.
The bodyguard was put to sleep by Brianna and after Peck questioned his father, his father was (supernaturally) able to break through his mind control to remove his armlet. Once this happened, the Shadow Daemon recaptured his host and attacked Peck with a Wicked Dagger. Peck was laid low, and the enemy continued their attack on the rest of the party.
The dagger was broken and the Shadow Demon was released. Voxen turned into a Gorilla and charged the Shadow Demon through the wall of the estate into the sunny outdoors, where the Shadow Demon was powerless.
Garrick Godfrey was saved but very weak. Peck was healed and the party found out from Garrick where Xanthad was. The party went to Duke Eltan of the Flaming Fists where a mighty army was formed to attack the Godfrey Warehouse and defeat Xanthad.
As the army marched toward the warehouse, a cracking sound emitted from the Warehouse and soon the roof fell in, a swirling vortex sucked in the entire area around the warehouse. The party stood and watched until the vortex disappeared and the dome shaped purple sphere faded out of existence.
The party decided to use their Staff of Teleportation to teleport to their camp at Ulcasters and gather anyone who wanted to come and then teleported to the 245th layer of the Abyss.
