The Story So Far

Our Heroes find themselves in Varencliffe some for there own personal game others by choice and one by unfortunate circumstance. They are gathered in the town square with the celebration of Bannister day and what a grand celebration it was complete with public execution. The heroes stand helplessly by as a young girl is executed for using her magic to cook, but as the next prison is brought up a Freebooter named ?Morthol? chaos soon ensues. Bells ring and most of the Abols take off running. Soon bats descend upon the crowd and transfer into little hell beasts. The Free Booters in the crowd take this time to free their comrade but instead of fleeing ?Morthol? helps the fight and the Abol left in charge Jax frees a Tiefling prisoner Arashi to help the townsfolk as they are being slaughtered by these small hell beasts. Amoggy takes on 3 beasts by himself dodging attacks and taking out 2 of them but falls. Aymar runs boldly into battle and takes one out but falls to the hell beasts after one attack. Alma runs into the fray as well killing the beasts with the town guard but also falls. As Ajani, Arashi, and Anguy fire arrows and javelins from a distance. Ajani has not the best aim and hits Jax in the back and a creature breaks the line and attacks Anguy knocking him out. Arashi reveals he has divine powers and picks up Anguy. Aelor a street urchin is near by watching the fight go on seeming slightly off never actually being in the battle but strategically maneuvering around the town square. Soon the party has the hell beasts downed and the town guards force healing potions down the throats of the fallen adventurers. More bells ring to the south and the remain towns guard and Jax ask the heroes to help them at the south gate the party splits with a few going on roof tops to get a better vantage for the upcoming battle. More of the small creatures are inside the gate but when they open the gate 2 spined devils are outside. The heroes again aid the town and destroying these evils Aymar reveals he is also a an Arc in this battle. As the fight finishes a larged winged devil appears with a small following of quasits. Instead of starting another fight The devil speaks in infernal "The job is done, we must go" or so we are told by Arashi as she was the only one that could understand the speech. The Devil flies off north, and Jax gets chewed out for letting the Arcs escape and has to report to his superior at dusk. Instead Jax pleads with the group to follow the devil to the north to clear his name. Reluctantly the group follows all except the street urchin Aelor who again just watched the fight it seemed. After following the creature for half a day the party set up camp. Not knowing the Abols have left town as well and are headed north, Aelor is following the Abols as well.
