Skraps kills a few by stabbing them in the groin artery. the fiend lights Tzon's wig on fire which burns it off. He baseball bat swings a cultist dead against a cabinet. Skraps fucks off and investigates some doors instead of helping with the fiend. He ends up in a room with 4 wooden wardrobes in it. He moves through it and ends up in the hallway where the battle is anyway. Tzon got the kill on the fiend propelling him into victory.
We go raid the basement kitchen. Skraps, Cassandra, and Aurelia go and check out the wardrobes from earlier. 3 are empty. the 4th has 4 sets of black robes and 4 devil masks. Tzon and skraps start doing the 2 halflings in a trench coat routine. Cassandra and I go and put the bodies in bed to not arouse as much suspicion. I also throw one on. Everyone wears one as a disguise. Skraps and Tzon make Aurelia uncomfortable by bringing up the Skraps/ Aurelia sex thing. They jokingly talk about running a train.
De'rik flies down the hall to see if we have time to rest. He sees two more cultist that seem to be patrolling the hallways. One seems to be burning incense to lighten the sewer smell. Moving slowly. One of them does notice De'rik and mostly just seems intrigued. The other one threatens to hit it. They start trying to capture him but he flies out of their range. One casts spiritual weapon. Der'ik dodges and then starts flying away from them, investigating hallways as he goes. Cassandra is making sure that no one else comes out due to the ruckus. Der'ik tries to disguise his poofing by flying like he is going under the door while poofing. He seemingly succeeds. He flies back around and hears the two talking to someone from the other side of the door. The guy behind the door tells them to go away and they say like "sorry sir."
Aurelia asks Tzon and Skraps about their workout routine. She wants to learn from them. Aurelia takes offense to their answer taking it as saying "lose weight and drink." Really its Tzon says that because their small its easier. And Skraps is more saying be true to yourself and like take advantages where you can.
We investigate the kitchen. Its uncomfortably warm. Skraps and Tzon dig through the cabinets. They find rice and beans. Some jugs of water. Cassandra cooks us some rice and beans. Balsam, Skraps, and Tzon go to the meat room to go grab the meat. I go grab one of the boars as they fumble around and bring it back and then go to see the two of them try. Skraps and Tzon attempt to get theirs. They are just able to get it up and slowly walk it back. Balsam spotting. Skraps cuts off a bunch of cuts of meat. Cassandra adds some personal spices and cooks it all up. Panseared with some garlic and seasonings and then finished with the wine from earlier. We drink some of the bad wine with dinner.
Skraps braces the doors as extra precaution by moving some cabinets and stuff. We eat our delicious meal all very thankful. Aurelia gives inspiration via clarinet playing to Skraps and Tzon. She says she is quite serious on wanting to learn from the two, if they are willing. They both are cool with it, and say they are down to run her through their old circus training. Tzon asks how cool she is with trapeze. She seems down. Aurelia says her dad never approved of the arts. The song she played came from lessons. Skraps asks why it matters if he approves or not. Aurelia says she never really thought of that. Skraps says he never really knew his father. Aurelia kinda takes it to heart and says she's always felt like she had something to prove as the eldest. Tzon also starts playing his flute.
Aurelia tells us she has something to announce. She pulls up the sleeve of her shirt and shows us her huge siren sleeve. She tells us she comes from Psionic descent and that she is still a good person and accepts herself for who she is. I tell her that the morals of the civilized world don't always reflect reality. That you can come from something considered evil and still do good. Cassandra asks if she thinks that Lily and her were evil because they are tiefling? Obv not. And if Aurelia has psionic blood then so must her family. If they have issue with that that's their own weird issues. Aurelia says that no one had seen the psionic powers in decades and then spirals. We also asked about if she used the tentacles in the Skraps moment. Skraps brushes it off. Aurelia says she appreciates the lightheartedness and the comfort.
Cassandra leads us forward. We stop off in the room the fiend was in. It has a 7 foot tall statue of an angel with a long sword. There are also 9 tapestries depicting the 9 layers of hell. The eyes of the statue are glowing. Aurelia investigates. The head and neck appear to be hollow. Tson throws Skraps up so he can try pop the head off. There doesnt seem to be a way in. I pull Skraps away and then fucking smash into it with my flail. NAT 20. Knock the head off, also smashing the statue on the ground. Inside we find a glowy mace. I call dibs. GET IT IDENTIFIED
She also notices a brick wall in the corner that has a small seam. Skraps traces the seam to see if it will open. Before he does anything to open it, it slides to the side revealing Amrik and Thalamra Vanthampur. Amrik threw the door open. All of us are surprised except for Cassandra.
