Mr Fourfingers as requested a mission report, I'm sure the other mercenaries will chip in if I have missed anything important.

Our day started travelling to the power well, the area was gaurded by some of the city watch as it had become dangerous and they didn't want anybody to walk in and get killed.

After a quick chat they let us through but said one of their number had gone to investigate and hadn't come back.

Needless to say we discovered him dead a couple of rooms on, as we entered his dead body becan to attack us, a bit like a normal corpse but without an undead spirit bound into it.

We eventually broke the body and pushed on, There were some salamanders being summoned in the area through a ritual, we broke this with ice magic.

Someone had set up a ritual to block the way forwards by creating a powerful haze of heat, we also broke this.

There was also a small stone statue which a creature had inhabited to travel through the portal and it was this creature who had constructed all the wardings we encountered.

At this point we had a quite exciting fight with a selection of very angry demons who were invulnerable to normal weapons.

It was at this point that we made the embarrassing discovery that we only had one weapon that could hurt them among the party.

Being highly skilled mercenaries we overcame this by the use of pack fighting and walls of stone.

We then discovered a swirling pool of power which summoned a twilight elemental type thing when the detect macig was cast at it, one of the more scholary types among us came up with the idea of quickly overloading the pool.

It then exploded.

We then made it to the rift, over which was a warding which destroyed you with fire unless you said the password Jared(sp?)

Pushing through the portal we came across two portal guardian.

There was another awkward moment which resulted in the death of one of our number at this point

He thought he had it. But it turned out he didnt

Anyway after we beat the demons to death for this crime against us we continued on in the caverns on the other side of the rift

We then found a demonic ritual which was drawing blood into it to speed the opening of the rift. there was a knight who had been sacrificed to start the ritual off.

Breaking the ritual we released the many tentacled beast and then killed it, it ate a couple of us but such things are all in a days work.

We pushed on, fought some more demons, again lamenting the lack of supernatural blades among us.

We then met what can only be described as a shadow balrog, we engaged but very quickly it became clear that this demon was beyond our skills to deal with.

Retreating in a skilled and competent manner we fell back through cave complex.

We then bumped into an air mage who had come to investigate the power that had been released when we broke the ritual. He offered to transport us away from the balrog who was still quite keen to kill everybody

The majority of the party transported off, leaving myself and quintus to deal with the balrog,

Quintus said he had it. He didn't.

I transported after our group with his dead body after a short one on one fight with the balrog.

We chatted to the mage and he told us that there was an issue with the king being unconscious.

As we chatted to the mage who worked for the king of the area it turned out that as we wernt locals we were wasting away to death, we were slightly concerned by this and wen't in search of a local druid who had the power/knowledge to perform

Travelling to the forest retreat where the druid lived we had an interesting discovery that a psychic demonic parasite had taken up residence in guy's head.

I assaulted it with mental powers but it simply transported to another host, it had the power to temporarily take over a hosts body if alive or animate it if dead.

We didn't really know how to deal with it so we decided to ignore it was the best option and in the meantime we met some Gnolls who tried to kill us.

Fighting our way to the druid it turned out that she had been killed by the Gnolls and they had stolen an item of power which could be used to get us away from the degeneration that was slowly killing us.

Long story short we killed the gnoll, their shaman and witchdoctor and then a strange snake demon who was very quick and potent.

I located the wand we needed and then transported us all through a tree back to safety.

Then we went to the pub.

If you need any clarification I intend to scry thoroughly about everything.

Ivan
