The Chronicles of Risan: Part the Eighteenth

Returning to the mission of saving the artificers from themselves, we do find a Halfling Rogue to join our party, and very effective she turned out to be.

In order to get to the heart of the matter quickly, we needed to get to a rift portal to get us to the demon dimension, then out the other side, which was on an island. An island with demons! The first batch of which held this creature with many eyes on tentacles and one large eye that floated there, surrounded by other firey creatures. A lot of us got hammered, and I dropped, but eventually we managed to do something right and smack them into submission.

Then we found one huge demon guarding the portal itself, munching on the creatures within. The technique of pinning it down proved very useful, and after we dealt with it and it fell back through the rift, the large body proved a very effective deterrent to the demons waiting within. The plan from there was simple, get in and run!

So while we could cross the dimension easily enough, there was a small problem of the exit being guarded by about a dozen creatures. Not particularly hard, but it was time consuming putting them all down. And while we did that, larger and harder creatures bore down on us... Fortunately, we managed to deal with them just in time to get away before we were attacked once more.

On the other side, we were in the main islands, and in the hands of the Resistance! They told us that there was a major big demon waiting to be dealt with in the middle of a volcano... sounds like fun!
