Our heroes returned to town, where they were warmly greeted by Mayor Oseph. The promised rewards for aiding his daughter had finally arrived, and he was happy to deliver these to our heroes.
Asterion, eager to investigate further mysteries, returned to the Abomination Vaults’ 7th floor, where he attempted to activate the portal they had encountered before. However, this attempt summoned a dread wraith, a powerful foe that drained life force from the group. Though weakened, the heroes drew on their strength and teamwork to defeat the wraith.
Resolved to continue their quest, the party returned to the vaults. Using their locate magic, they honed in on the location of the final pendant fragment. Their search led them to the room once guarded by Iyagian, whom they had previously spoken with. Despite some initial conversation, the devil’s satisfaction with his current existence made him unwilling to surrender. Ultimately, the heroes were forced into combat, and Iyagian fell to their might.
Pushing further, they entered a room filled with magma and confronted three airborne devils they recognized from earlier encounters. The devils launched an assault, but the heroes’ determination won the day. With the devils defeated, they finally claimed the last fragment of the pendant.
The completion of the pendant marks a significant milestone in their journey, but the vaults still hold many challenges and secrets awaiting discovery.
