Fenn was prepared to do something but Kyalia shook her head at her and took out a fire amulet that Fenn had and waved it above her head, lighting the sewer's up so they could see who was making that music.
"If you didn't want everyone to kill you, I would suggest not playing creepy music while we are trying to make our way threw the sewers. I mean in what way would that seem like a good idea?" Fenn asked, raising an eyebrow at him and Kyalia sighed.
"What? It's not like you weren't thinking the same thing...so are you going to help us? Or kill us?" Fenn asked him, and Kyalia shook her head at Fenn's abrasive nature but Fenn just stared the man. Fenn wasn't about to be fooled by a pretty song on a magical harmonica, it just wasn't in her nature, she didn't trust anybody quickly...which made her question why she was here the first place but she didn't focus on that long as she was more worried about the guy who tried to mess with her emotions and to her, that was unacceptable. At least with magic...if you're going to mess with her head then at least do it the old fashion way.

Ishmael

Ishmael heard the music just about the same time as everyone and as he turned he saw Hotaru tap her staff and a thousand pedals began to surround her. So she was the owner of those rose pedals that saved me back there on the wall. She then told him to give her the word and she can cast silence on it and get rid of the music. He was about to suggest not to yet when Kyalia rose up a amulet of some kind that lit up most of the sewers revealing the person responsible. He played a harmonica which was is common instrument in these parts. His choice of clothing made him a little suspicious though. He stepped forward and called out to the man. "I apologize for her rude behavior, but state your name and business. For your own sake I hope you choose the right words." He said. This man was unknown to him, well at least to him. The others might know of him but his arrival in Lithium was not long enough to know everyone who lived her both the city or it's sewers.

Cassandra

Cass was happy with the words Nova spoke and it did comfort her a bit. She smiled in acceptance but then the odd music began to move about the sewers. Then the witch took the initiative that revealed the man responsible .Cassandra looked up from the noise and talking and saw the man everyone was addressing. She studied him and being one of the underdark she recognized him. He was known for his reputation of helping people who where less fortunate then others. He even helped her a couple times, well mostly when she first started life on the surface. He helped her get on feet and start a living. She rushed over to stand in front of everyone waving her hands to get their attention. "It's alright, he is just a friend." She said and then turned to look to him. "What are you doing?...forget that question we could use your help." She said. "As you may know we are trying to get out of the sewers and quick."

The survivors all turned their heads as well as soldiers who managed to escape. They looked to the man and were a bit nervous but then Cassandra stepped in before anything could get too heated and calmed down. They did not even wait for any objects and started to continue moving the way Cassandra had been leading them. They trusted her at this point and that was all that mattered.

As Xukhezur passed through the vrocks, dove for the center of the courtyard that lay between him and the now destroyed gate. The demons surged to welcome him with whatever attacks they could muster, and a vast majority of the projectile weapons sent his way were swept up in the winds around him, although he had to hazard the magical attacks he might draw along the way. Indeed, those who occupied ground he flew over at a height of about fifty feet, were buffeted and knocked about as they came within range of those winds. Once Xukhezur had placed himself within a range to affect some of the more powerful demons, he began triggering his temporarily accelerated staff using the remaining temporary charges.

The first triggering of his staff was used to produce an effect that whispered through the minds of up to thirty high profile targets spread throughout the main gate’s courtyard which lay about three hundred feet before him at that point, namely those demons that looked large and in charge and capable of withstanding or unleashing considerable punishment. This extended effect coaxed their own malignant thoughts and impulses to blossom into intense suspicion, distrust and paranoia of the other demons and malign creatures around them, in an attempt to convince them that they were going to be killed by their compatriots at any moment if they did not take the initiative to do them in first.

Sitting upon the wall was a Erinyes. A fiend of the opposite species but just as potent. They were the fiend's version of the succubi only she was trained in combat and on this battlefield she was the general. She did not like what she was seeing not one bit. This upstart was ruining everything and even though at first it was fun to watch, it had to be stopped one way or another. "That's it... its your turn now Grimlock." She ordered turning to face a very feared beast of hell. They were very favorited guardians due to their potency. The beast rose into the air but no wings flapped. The many stocks on top of its head moved about and then all pointed towards her. A eyeball at the end of each stock. It's single eye in the middle of its head opened as the demon took in her words. "Deal with this unexpected guest and make sure his lesson is learned here." She added. The beholder lowered its head as if bowing. "Yes mistress." It said.

Xukhezur's persistance and instant problem solving was paying off. The tanar'ri were turning against each other one by one. The lesser demons fell first at that hands of their betters. Then suddenly the spell began to wore off quicker then expected as something moved through the crowd. Its single eye open dispelling all magic and preventing future spells from casting on both sides. The beholder then turned to those with flight and barked out its order. "The mistress is growing angry with you pathetic fools... now deal with this man before she ends your miserable existance herself....." Then it looked up at Xukhezur and narrowed its eye. "On second thought leave this one to me...." It closed its eye quickly aiming its many stocks casting multiple rays of petrificaition.

Xukhezur's mood sank as he spied the beholder's emergence and the massive dragon's arrival near the main gate. He knew his attempts to further harass and delay the demonic forces were going to be much less effective, even moreso if he were to get too close to the beholder and fall within the reach of its antimagic eye and its apparent ability to dispel and nullify magical effects, given the mayhem wrought by his last effect was quickly quelled and those involved brought back to focus. As the beholder's eye rays were directed at him in anticipation of his movements, Xukhezur did his best to spin out of the way a few dozen yards short of the main gate's large inner courtyard and still about fifteen yards above the ground, banking his effigy up and back around to his right, away from the demons in the courtyard with a lurch. For a moment Xukhezur feared those rays were ones of disintigration, and although two of them ultimately struck his craft, the form-stablizing protomorphic modifcation he'd made to it spared him what could have been a swift plumet and crash landing. He attempted to flee upward and to the west, to hopefully buy time for some new decisions. Knowing that getting to where he was now could have been made more difficult, and apprehensive of the possibility that those in charge of the demonic forces might now want to draw him in, he was also momentarily thankful there hadn't been more magical attacks directed at him during his approach. He wasted no time in telepathically beckoning his optic orbs to provide him with a report on whether or not the city's populace had all filed into the sewers at this point.

Skizzerax smiled to himself, and raises his hand to call forth a general. An orc with ornate robes comes forth, his best and most loyal, Grunnel. "Ah, Grunnel. I need you to set my plans in motion, and don't let anything stop you. I will join you once I get ready." The orc bows, but before he leaves, says "Sir, where will we do this upon?" The Lich stops for a bit to think about that, and then says "We start with villages, then the king will get word of the destruction and check it out. Then that's when you come in. The pillaging, however, is mine to do. Let them remember the name of their true worst enemy!" He gets up, putting his gloves on, and goes into the basement of the castle, and looks at the rows upon rows of weapons crafted by him. He decides to go with a mace and long sword, and steps on a pedestal. He is now just inside the gates, standing on a similar pedestal. He walks out, and sees the amassed army. "SOLDIERS, THIS IS THE DAY FOR US TO RISE UP AND CONQUER ONCE MORE! WE MARCH NOT FOR GLORY, BUT TO STRIKE FEAR IN THE HEARTS OF THE MORTALS! AFTER I HAVE MY FUN, YOU MARCH TO MEET THE KING'S ARMY." He walks through the army, it parting from him like a sea does to an undying flame. His mind sends out this message to anyone with magical abilities I HAVE RISEN. FEAR THE KING OF EVIL. FEAR THE BRINGER OF DEATH.
FEAR SKIZZERAX, THE SLUMBERING LICH!

Hotaru's black rose that laid inside the pocket of Fenn prevented any and all mind intrusions upon the group. What the Lich had said. Except for those not in the 30 ft radius. Which would likely be the demons above them. Hotaru looked to the man responsible for the music and after Cassandra's defense over the man she began to smile. The black pedals faded as she calmed down. She then felt it up to her to introduce herself first. She moved towards the man and offered her hand in friendship. "My name is Hotaru."

---

Nova rose a brow at the whole thing. How many people does this drow know? Perhaps she would be more useful to them and her people then she first thought. Perhaps the queen was wrong. This matter would be up to the Seer council now. They would know her potential. She looked to Dorian and Elendil and gestured to them. They closed the distance between them and waited for her to speak. "I think this drow may have valuable assets for our people to use. We must make sure she lives long enough for the seers to meet with her." She told them and they looked to Cassandra and understood the facts.

Kyoto sighed as it all went down. He was glad that violence would not occur and sheathed his sword. He then turned to follow the survivors. "We can introduce ourselves while we walk. You never know when those things will catch up with us." He said and continued off.

---

Alduin heard the voice of the Lich within his mind causing him to look up at the sky and about trying to locate who said it. He noticed most of the demons were doing the same. "Continue the attack I will meet with Eliphas to get his input on the matter and warn him about this Lich." He called out. He then took off and headed towards the mountain peak where Eliphas's Sanctum was housed.

The startled reaction was just what he had been hoping for. In truth Jameson was testing these people, seeing how they acted under high stakes circumstances. He took in the reactions of each one separately. Some used their heads, the others their swords, it truly was a diverse bunch. He paused his play a moment to respond to the startled demands of the group he had been following. "Just an old man goin' for a stroll down his favorite slew way. Sure it might of started y'all, but I felt a tune comin' on, and anyways I could ask you-" Before he could continue he was cut off by a familiar and welcomed voice. Cassie, what a welcome sight she was. Such a misunderstood creature she was. He was glad he had a familiar face among this crowd. Winning them over would have been quite a challenge without it.

"I heard y'all were lookin' for shelter in that their elven city. Trouble is I would assume some of y'all wouldn't be a' makin' past that gate. If the elves won't welcome you, I got a nice little haven you can hop into. It ain't got much, but it's safe, warm, and away from all this here madness. Truth is I got myself a little bit of company as well just up that bend. Was about to take 'im in I was." He tilted his hat up, revealing a gruff five o'clock shadow and a cliche tooth pic, the man looked like he had walked out of a spaghetti western. You could almost taste dust in the air.

As if on cue, a small boy stepped out from a previously overlooked passageway. Ho immediately ran to Jameson who smiled as he looked at him. Tears welled up in his eyes as he looked at the strange group of people, Jameson swung him up into his arms the moment he broke out into tears. "Don't you worry now little one, you see, these nice people are gunna help me keep you safe." He then gestured towards Ishmael. "You see that big strong Paladin over their?" The boy nodded, only softly whimpering now. "I bet he could fight an entire demon army with one hand tied behind his back."

The boy looked to Ishmael with big hopeful eyes and asked."Is it true soldier man? Could you really do it?"

Jameson's expression became serious as he looked to Ishmael he nodded to him almost as if to say 'The boy looks up too you, don't let him down.'

The boy waited eagerly for his response.

It was then that the Half Demon Hitaru approached him. She greeted him with a smile and he tipped his hat to her in respect. "Nice to meet you aswell ma'am, what brings a fine lady like yourself to such a dreary and unfitting setting?"

Ishmael[b]

He looked to the young boy as he as him if everything Jameson told him was true. He also saw Jameson giving him the look, which simply told him. Just go with the flow please. Well it is not like he could lie to the boy anyways. He did slay a good number of demons in his day. A few of them a lot more stockier and dangerous then the Retreivers up on top. He moved over to the boy and pulled his sword out half way while going into a kneeling position. He then took one of the kids hands and touched it to the blade. "You feel the sword?... this weapon has been blessed by the great church and was handed down to me by Saint Michael himself. No demon can resist its strike." He answered. He then moved the hand which held the boys hand to the boys shoulder. "Through my days in the order I have slayed over thirty demons several of those demons were much harder then the ugliest one up their. Also you know what they say about holy weapons blessed by the church." He continued. "They can cut through demons like a knife can through butter." He then rose up and looked to Jameson. "Your concern is very well noted ,but I myself must speak with the elves. You are right however that a good amount of those here would likely not be allowed within." He said as he turned to look from Fenn to Cassandra. "A witch and a drow would be most unwelcome. I sense that they are not evil but,.... well you know how elves can be." He then looked to Nova and her group. "No offense, I mean the church can be a little excessive but we make compromises from time to time if it benefits us ,but the elves suffer no evil to walk and judge by race." He sighed and looked to Fenn. "Saint Michael said something once in a speech to me and my fellow brothers of the order,... Ones birth does not mean anything, What we do with the gift of life that has been given to us determines who we are." He then looked away and back to Jameson. " You may travel with us until our paths separate. I could use as much help as I can get." He then smirked as Hotaru moved to the man and offered her hand in friendship. Hotaru was young and that was not necessarily a bad thing. He moved away putting his sword fully back into it's sheath. He did not lie to the boy. It was impossible for him to do so because of his vow to the church.

[b] Cassandra

Cassandra turned and watched Ishmael as he approached the boy and showed him his sword and even allowed the boy to touch it. The paladin expressed such professionalism that impressed her and his choice of words towards the boy, her, Nova, and Fenn made her feel more comfortable towards the man. He and his order looked to the actions of the culprites and dubbed them evil not to that persons birth. Meaning even herself, a naive dark elf could have a heart as good as his. Hotaru even began to welcome Jameson, her old friend. She moved over to Jameson's side and rested her arm upon his shoulder as she leaned against him. "You know I still have not paid you back for the time you saved me from the pits. Perhaps this time around I will get to repay that kindness."

Xukhezur would find all attention on him shifted as a voice went through the minds of each demon. It was a threatening voice brought by something claiming itself as a lich. They quickly began to look for a source to that voice but then Alduin's loud voice caught their attention. He informed them that he would consult with their lord about the matter and they were to continue with the attack. They then looked to their general for confirmation. The Erinyes which stood upon the wall of the city. "He is right. The business of this so called Lich is none of ours,...yet. Continue with the mission at hand. Burn this place to the ground. All survivors shall be cast in irons and sent to the mountain to work for our masters cause." She said and looked to Alduin as he flew off and headed in the direction of the mountain. Her eyes following him and then she looked to Xukhezur as he fled from their might. She gave a smirk and pointed a finger towards him as if she was going to release a fireball but then pretended she had raising the finger up. "We will see each other again." She then looked about the city and gazed at the fires and burned down buildings that crashed beneath the molten rock from the skies. She then caught eye on the main building of the city. The one that held the lord of this area of land. It looked like one of the fires from the sky caved in a portion of it but not that which held the man in charge. She snapped her finger and she teleported into the courtyard of the fortress. The lords personal guard came out to meet her as she drew forth her flame composite longbow. She quickly began to take shots at them with it. Her expertise with it showed as each arrow meet its mark.

Skizzerax walks out of the side of the mountain. But there is a cave there, just magic makes it looks like part of the mountain. He walks toward the closest village, from memory. It has grown into a quite a large community since he last saw it. Two guards block his passing, and ask his business. He just glares at them, and says "Move or risk your lives." The guards chuckle, and try to poke him with their spears to force him back, but their faces contort in pain as their life is sucked from them. The lich bursts through the gates and starts burning down houses, and killing the people. All without even lifting a finger. But soon he starts wiping the peasants and guards alike aside with his mace. All the while an invisible smile of glee on his face.

Hotaru sighed at his question pretending to dust off her staff. "Well lets just say if my father passed down the trait of foresight maybe I wouldn't of come to the city today." She said. "I mean it looked like a beautiful day today until everything went to hell... literally of course." She added. Then she figured that maybe he was talking about the sewers not the city itself and that made her look around the place. It did have a stench and the rats were not all that appealing as well. "Well this place is not on my most favorite place to be in right now but I had no choice. Besides, some of the survivors here were real nice to me despite the other townspeople." She added. "I figured I could repay them for their kindness by bringing them to safety. It's what my father would have enjoyed seeing me do." She smiled and looked to the boy. She decided to give the boy something to hold on to. She handed her staff to Jameson but only for a little while. "Hold this,..." She only hoped that he didn't sense the magic from it. For if he could he could feel her fathers magic and know that she herself isn't one hundred percent human. Of course if she knew he was of the were wolf variety then she would have known that he could have possibly smelled the demon blood on her. The blood she got from her father. She then crouched so that she was at the same height as him. What she did next was litteraly pull a black rose from the palm of her hand stem first. She then handed it to the boy. "This my young friend will protect you from the evil above us. They won't be able to use their god awful magic because this rose will deflect whatever they try on you." She said. The boy probably did not believe her but she was no doubt telling the truth. She then rose back up and grabbed back her staff. "Thank you."

Hotaru could be blamed for being bit to nice sometimes. Her mother raised her that way and her father... well he did not exactly condone it either so he was just as much to blame. She knew the difference between good and evil though and this child and this man was safe from that path. She then looked to the harmonica and pointed to it. "Your pretty good with that... my mother loved music too. She was more of a violinist though. Father always enjoyed listening to her play." The talk of her family began to make her worried for them. Her father was strong and powerful though. He could protect mother,.... she hoped. This feeling quickly showed as her smile faded. "I just hope they are safe from the evils above... my father gave me this staff so he is quite powerful. I just hope he is powerful enough to defend our home from these monsters."

---

Nova listened to the words spoken by Ishmael the paladin about her kin and the way they treated other people. She could not deny that her people did strong arm people for their heritage and not their deeds. You can be the most heroic drow elf in all of Kurn or the world for that matter , but her kin would still shoot you on sight unless you had a proper escort. She decided to help her ease and that of the man by voicing out loud what she said to her kin. She would reword it though. "Look everyone....Me and my kinsmen here have agreed that under these circumstances that we will vouch for you when we reach the gates to the city of my people." She wouldn't say that the reason was because Cassandra had a bit of value on her and so did the others. This was war and they all had a common enemy. The queen must see that.

Kyoto turned to see Hotaru interacting with the newcomer and he sighed. Rather then being the cramp in everyone's style he just decided to keep walking with the survivors. The others would catch up after awhile. He just hoped nothing evil was up ahead. Then again that might be a good thing. He would finally get to flex his muscles and do what it takes to show the others how useful he could be. They all fought back there but not him. He stood around confused instead. Perhaps if he engaged more in combat perhaps Nova's two kinsmen may have survived.

Alduin Flapped his wings drawing ever closer to the mountain tip. He could easily kill a lich, well its physical body anyways. He knew that for certain but Eliphas might have other plans. A lich would be a valuable ally to him. However, that message that rang through his head was one that desired no share in ruling over this land. The title of king went to Eliphas rightfully. This lich would have to step down or be banished into the void until the master found the vile that held its heart and smash it. He could see the battlements now as he drew nearer and nearer. He could smell the decay coming from the corpses of those who once called this mountain home. He grinned at the smell. A inviting smell that was just like roses to him. He finally reached the tower that held the masters sanctum at the very top. He quickly flew to the tower and latched onto it via the claws on his wings and feet. He then climbed upwards until he reached the balcony. "My lord!.... Lord Eliphas I have come with news and your council." He called out as he climbed himself onto it. He hoped Eliphas could hear him.

The Lich looks at the now destroyed town. He starts walking back over to the mountain while the army under Grunnel's command occupies the ruins of the town. Once back in his lair a good few hours later (I skip uneventful scenery for this guy. He would just kill it. XD), he takes a crystal ball and looks at it. He mutters a scrying spell to watch over the main city, and almost spews out his wine at what he sees. "Well, I'd guess a town turned to ash is the least of their worries now! JORGEN!" The human in the marked black leather enters. "Send a scouting party to the city. Kill the demons. Can't have the blasted red skinned vermin ruining my fun." He waves his hand to tell Jorgen he is dismissed. Jorgen bows, and is off. Those two where the best of his five generals. They would not let him down even if it meant their life. He made sure of that. He continues to watch the area, all the while sipping his wine. He even takes another crystal ball and uses it to fly around the city. anyone in the city would see it as a ball of black fire.

Jameson could smell the Demon blood on Hotaru. He was most likely the only being that would not judge her for it however. He took her staff without a word, simply a nod that became a smile as he watched her console the young one. "Perhaps it would be best for me too leave him with you then." He suggested as he returned her staff too her. The boy is in need of a mother figure, a role not suited for an outcast like me." He pulled his hat to his heart, revealing his silky and flowing brown hair. "I ask you too keep an eye on this boy for me, his parents.." Jameson trailed of, hoping she would understand his meaning. " I know it is unfair to ask, but I... am not fit to be a parent.." He turned away slightly as he said this, almost as if he was ashamed by something.

Jameson was about to look up to see if she was accepting his proposal when Cassandra's sweet voice filled his empty ears. He turned to her. "Aah, tis but a gentlemanly thing to do my dear. Righteous folk such as yourself do not deserve the fate of that particular dungeon. May the poor souls who find themselves within find it in their hearts to move on.." He shook his head in disgust. "That their is one of the most abhorred places in the land." He looked her up and down for a moment and then nodded in approval. "You seem to have grown into quite the fine young lady, whoever your future suitor may be, he will be a lucky man."
He chuckled to himself and turned once again to Hotaru. "I only ask you keep him safe until I can locate a more permanent residence for the boy." He spoke in a hushed tone, so not to alert the boy to their conversation. He had left their side and begun fawning over an elf who had just finished saying she would try and get them all into the city. He wondered on how much leverage she would truly be able to force on the Elven Government. "It is completely alright if you cannot do so, but if you could.." He looked to the boy with intensely caring eyes. ".. I would be forever grateful."

All the while he was mulling over the promise of the elf, whom he would soon learn was named Nova. Would she truly be able to convince her people to go against their way of life? He was not in a position to doubt her, but he would keep his offer open and travel with the group none the less. A plan B. never hurt anyone after all.

Hotaru did not enjoy what Jameson told her. The offer was okay but she was never strong enough to suppress her feelings. She felt for the boy more then ever. She looked back to the poor young boy and could not imagine how he must feel being a orphan. He probably watched their deaths from the monsters above themselves. She hated demons so much. More so now then ever. Her father was the only exempt at this point. She placed her free hand on his head and looked to Jameson. "I don't know about being a mother figure but I will try my best to look after him." She promised him. She looked back to the kid. "Let's see about getting you something to drink."

---

Nova smiled. "Do not worry about a thing. I have some pull among the seer council. I will make sure we all get in without a fuss." She said. She would fill Jameson in later when she can get him alone with just her and Cassandra and fill them in. They needed to know, well Cassandra did, Jameson will just get his heart put to good ease. Cassandra could have a whole network of contacts up her sleeves for her kin to use. The seer council might see that and convince their queen. It was a risk but in these times it would be worth a try.

Fenn still wasn't convinced but she let Kyalia pull her away.
"What about Kyalia?" Fenn asked Nova, concerned and Kyalia shook her head.
"Fenn, don't." Kyalia said but Fenn shook off her grip.
"No, she's exiled, will they still offer her somewhere to stay?" Fenn asked Nova, worried about the only person who was her friend. She was slightly tempted to take up Jameson's offer, even if she didn't trust the man.

Kyalia sighed and looked at Nova. While she was left for a reason, and would do everything the same if she had too, she still missed being among her kind, and she honestly hoped there was someway this elf in front of her could get her in...no matter how foolish the hope was.

Jauffre

Jauffre moved about the sewer floor. The old bronze dragon disguised himself as simple little sewer rat. He was listening to everything but someone like the Jameson person might notice a single rat not really concerned about running from what was up above them. Jauffre could easily deal with the demons from above with its breathe weapon and powerful claws. He heard every little bit that they had said and he was a bit moved by certain amount of them. He even coveted the sight of the elves. Three of them but his heart sank when he heard they had two comrades above that died to the vile monsters. He loved the wilds and the nature with in it. Elves respected that nature and in turn he respected them greatly. What he detested were those demons above who ruined the very fabric of life. The humans were no different though with their lumber mills and the sort. This Jameson though was peculiar. He found himself quite comfortable nearby him. Perhaps this man was just as in tune with nature as he. Jauffre wanted to get closer but no one would enjoy a sewer rat so he moved in behind a wooden box and shifted forms. He went from a rat to a red tailed fox. He leaped out pouncing on one of the rats and swallowed it down. He did not enjoy the taste all that much but he ignored the taste as long as it bought him the chance to get closer. He acted like the curious fox creeping closer and ever closer to the group.

Silver

Silver relentlessly shoved his own storm against that of the mountain. He road the very clouds as well. Controlling the weather as much as he could. He was trying so desperatly to help the humans below. He would not have known that his mission was already lost. He was too focused on the storm his winds colliding with the very dark clouds that covered the sky. If Xukhazur flew through the clouds all he would see is a silver dragon walking upon white clouds that collided with the dark ones of the mountain trying to defeat the evil spell.

Eliphas

Eliphas heard the loud voice of Alduin cry out to him and he rose from his thrown and made his way outside. "What is it?" He asked even though he already heard the dragons worries about the lich. He rose up a hand before he could answer. "The lich, yes his voice filled my head as well. Do not worry about him. He is a fool to try and test us. Go back to Lithuim I have a feeling this lich will try and move against us. Garrison the city and prevent all takeovers upon it man or unliving." He ordered Alduin. "I will send my generals to give you aid in all of this. With that the very generals he spoke of emerged from the dark depths of the fortress and onto the same balcony. It was amazing it was strong enough to hold all of them without crumbling. Cornugon, the horned devil, Volunruud the Hezrou, Barbazu the Bearded devil, Pitzkrieg the pit fiend, Anorith the Marilith, Rezuirade the Glabrezu, Astrid the Succubus, and Kyton the Chain devil. " Defend the city from this lich. Destroy all that he sends with much prejidice.
