This is a summary of events on 28 Mirthul for the group of BB, Igraine, Sheryl, Arkadius, Markas, Taz.
TL:DR
The group went to Sigil and riled the demon lord Baltaz’Nar into attacking Avernus by turning his girlfriend into a badger.
Full summary
- Senator Rose grabs our attention and explains the current situation. Gothrasham elves are moving down from the north. Daring soldiers are arriving by the portal to hell, ready to attack. The Crimson Fist are gathering. About 4000 - 5000 soldiers, but it’s not enough
- Explains the giants haven’t been heard from and messengers there haven’t returned. The shunned forces are engaging devils in the countryside but they don’t believe the shunned will participate in the battle., also won't attack Kul Goran.
-Explains a bigger distraction is needed - sends us to speak to Lady Vermillion in Sigil to find more powerful allies. Gives us an amulet - a family heirloom of general Casisus Razorback who commands the forces in Avernus - which will lead us to him when we are done.
- Party travels to Sigil and meets Lady Vermillion at her home. She explains few would be convinceable to assault Avernus. But - there’s a demon lord Baltaz’Nar who is visiting a local pleasure house - House of Wondrous Pleasures run by the Djinn Za'zyym. They would not fight for us, but as an impulsive person of pleasure and excess he may be convinced into acting rashly and attacking Avernus
- The plan is to go to the pleasure house disguised as Zariel cultists
-In sigil, any fighting or outright hostility will attract the attention of Lady Pain which is not something we would want. So everything has to be resolved noviolently.
- We find Baltaz’Nar with two companions - a succubus and an incubus. We devise a two point plan - 1) Markus, Taz and Sheryl will sit with them in the steam room to rile them up by insulting their choice of soul wine, and b) meanwhile BB, Arkadius and Igrainne will distract and possibly kidnap Baltaz’Nar’s succubus companion.
- Taz, Markas and Sheryl throw some good insults in the steam room, Baltaz’Nar storms out flinging insults and is clearly riled
- Meanwhile BB flirts with the succubus, convincing her to sit down and have a drink. BB then polymorphs the succubus into a badger. The group meets up again and BB, Markas Arkadiusand Igrainne go and hide while Arkadius and Igrainne go to the pool room where Baltaz’Nar is ‘cooling down’.
- Igrainne and Arkadius have a loud conversation about how the other Zariel cultists just stole Baltaz’Nar’s succubus and took her back to Avernus. Baltaz’Nar is incredibly riled and storms out to invade Avernus
- Group returns to Lady Vermillion. She says she will keep the badger polymorphed for us and helps the group teleport into the war camp in Avernus.
