Iozreal attempts to dimensional anchor Boobons, but Boobons counters it,
+then moves away to safety! Harvey and Gartug fight some ice devils. Randy
+and Sheila G do some buffs. Another ice devil shows up, and begins
+fighting with Naynay.
+
Iozreal attempts to dimensional anchor Boobons again, but gets countered
+again, and successfully dispels the anchor on Cayden Cailean! Harvey
+and Gartug keep fighting ice devils. Randy starts blasting with lightning!
+Naynay disengages and get with the group, just in time for Sheila G
+to attempt to plane shift the group away, but she gets countered by
+Iozreal! A future version of Cayden Cailean shows up to help us fight,
+and tells Sheila G “Free Hyperion! It’s the next step!”
+
Iozreal moves to threaten the group, and releases his dancing scythe,
+which obliterates Boobons with a crit! Boobons makes a mess of blood on
+the ground. Harvey, Gartug, and Naynay keep fighting ice devils. Randy
+heals Boobon back to consciousness. Sheila G attempts another plane
+shift and gets countered again!
+
+
+
The group feels a sickening lurch, as the ceiling of our adamantine room is
+torn away by Baazebul, hovering menacingly above the scene. Jeff turns to
+Harvey and tells him, “BLUE BAG”. Combat continues!
+
+
Iozreal blasts the group with a wave of fatigue as his scythe continues
+to hack apart Boobon (who falls again), and Randy (who hasn’t heard no
+bell!). Harvey uses “the blue bag”:
+
+
Holding the bag as a glove, Harvey throws a blue pebble-shaped object
+at Baazebul. As it reaches it, the pebble seems to manifest as a
+smaller ghostly image of Harvey, and after whispering something to
+Baazebul, strikes it with a sword. An angelic figure with broken,
+burnt wing nubs falls beyond sight in one direction, and thousands of
+flies fall beyond sight in an opposite. The remaining ice devil looks
+incredibly confused.
+
+
+
+
+
Iozreal makes an offer: Help him to the Betzebbul, and he will send all of us
+home. While this is happening, both Randy and Gartug take note of the falling
+pieces of Baazebul, and grab some. This turns out to be a Bad Thing :tm:.
+After some deliberation, the party agrees. Boobons summons phantom steeds.
+Iozreal and the party fly to the Betzebbul, citadel of Baazebul, throne of
+Cocytus, the seventh layer of hell. Sheila G knows of a chained-up ancient and
+forgotten god, named Azhia. CC insists on freeing it.
+
+
Upon arrival, Iozreal screams a stained-glass window open, and we follow
+him up a circular stairway. At the landing, we pass an opportunity to
+visit Baazebul’s armory.
+
Upon arriving at the throne room, we find the enchained “body” of Azhia,
+and the throne. On the throne is a large circlet with a giant diamond in
+it. Between the party and the throne is a pitfiend, named Garblefuk,
+yelling at Iozreal he’s a traitor. COMBAT!!
+
+
Harvey and Iozreal engage Garblefuk. Cayden Cailean makes for one of
+the pillars holding the chains attached to Azhia. Boobons, Randy, and
+Sheila G do some buffing. Gartug drinks some potions.
+
Harvey and Iozreal keep fighting Garblefuk. Cayden Cailean climbs the
+pillar, and to the chain. Gartug remounts his horse, and flies up to
+one of the chains. Boobons does some buffs. Randy starts blasting
+with lighting. Sheila G flies up to another chain. Jeff blasts
+Garblefuk with a disintigrate.
+
Harvey keeps punching. Iozreal harms Garblefuk, successfully, then
+eviscerates it with his scythe. Boobons takes out his Stick of
+Disintigration, and destroys a chainlink. Randy does some healing.
+Gartug punches a chainlink apart, breaking the chain. Cayden Caliean
+moves towards the flesh-mass, and begins trying to break his chain.
+Sheila G tries breaking her chain. Jeff does some weird chaos stuff,
+and turns the big 5th chain into a piece of cooked spaghetti.
+
Harvey hangs out a bit. Iozreal flies up to the flesh mass, and
+plunges his hand into it. Gartug lands and dismounts near Iozreal on
+the flesh mass, preparing to engage if necessary. Boobons
+disintigrates another chainlink, breaking the fourth of five chains.
+Cayden Cailean and Sheila G try breaking the last chain. Randy plays
+hop-scotch.
+
Iozreal finishes his tassk, flying off the mass and back to the
+ground. Gartug rushes over, and breaks the CC/SG chain, freeing the
+flesh mass, which plummets to the ground and is impailed upon the
+throne. COMBAT OVER!!
+
+
+
+
+
+
Iozreal informs us he absorbed some of the god’s power. The flesh mass appears
+to still be alive. SG and Gartug manage to un-impale it. After a bit more
+dialog, Iozreal offers to plane shift us home, but Sheila G does it instead.
+We arrive near the Far Territories, surprisingly close to the army’s column
+heading to the Far Territories. The flesh mass begins screaming, and SG and
+Randy start trying to heal it. Gartug and SG manage to remove all the chains.
+Gartug also rejects the mythic power of Baazebul from the part of it which
+embedded itself in his palm. The piece falls out and dissipates to
+nothingness.
+
+
The group deliberates on the next steps:
+
+
Where to bring Cayden Cailean? “Anywhere with beer!”
+
+
CC wants to find some beer, find his Red Band crew, find a ship (as in
+a space ship), and go adventuring. Gartug offers to go with and help
+him out.
+
+
+
Where to bring this flesh mass?
+
+
SG offers to take it to Elysium

The party discusses the Stackor/Not-Stackor meeting, and reviews our plan.

Iozreal attempts to dimensional anchor Boobons, but Boobons counters it,

The party, including Nay-Nay, teleport to Fort Ang. At the designated
-location, we find Maugrim, two skeletal dwarves, and a rune scribed upon the

The group feels a sickening lurch, as the ceiling of our adamantine room is

-
Maugrim mentions he was expecting Damar to be present; SG sends a
-message to them.
-
Maugrim performs the ritual. He finishes, raises a quill, and disappears.
-
Almost immediately after, a massive boom occurs outside the metal cube.
-The entire location shakes. Harvey’s amulet warns of something coming, and
-offers to unleash it’s full power. Harvey agrees. Stackor and SG realize
-that the location of the ritual has been pulled from the material plane.
-Harvey has a vision, seeing memories from heaven, of a farmyard, before

Iozreal makes an offer: Help him to the Betzebbul, and he will send all of us
+home. While this is happening, both Randy and Gartug take note of the falling
+pieces of Baazebul, and grab some. This turns out to be a Bad Thing :tm:.
+After some deliberation, the party agrees. Boobons summons phantom steeds.
+Iozreal and the party fly to the Betzebbul, citadel of Baazebul, throne of

+flies fall beyond sight in an opposite. The remaining ice devil looks
+incredibly confused.
+
+

Iozreal makes an offer: Help him to the Betzebbul, and he will send all of us
+home. While this is happening, both Randy and Gartug take note of the falling
+pieces of Baazebul, and grab some. This turns out to be a Bad Thing :tm:.
+After some deliberation, the party agrees. Boobons summons phantom steeds.
+Iozreal and the party fly to the Betzebbul, citadel of Baazebul, throne of
+Cocytus, the seventh layer of hell. Sheila G knows of a chained-up ancient and
+forgotten god, named Azhia. CC insists on freeing it.
+
+
Upon arrival, Iozreal screams a stained-glass window open, and we follow
+him up a circular stairway. At the landing, we pass an opportunity to
+visit Baazebul’s armory.
+
Upon arriving at the throne room, we find the enchained “body” of Azhia,
+and the throne. On the throne is a large circlet with a giant diamond in
+it. Between the party and the throne is a pitfiend, named Garblefuk,
+yelling at Iozreal he’s a traitor. COMBAT!!
+
+
Harvey and Iozreal engage Garblefuk. Cayden Cailean makes for one of
+the pillars holding the chains attached to Azhia. Boobons, Randy, and
+Sheila G do some buffing. Gartug drinks some potions.
+
Harvey and Iozreal keep fighting Garblefuk. Cayden Cailean climbs the
+pillar, and to the chain. Gartug remounts his horse, and flies up to
+one of the chains. Boobons does some buffs. Randy starts blasting
+with lighting. Sheila G flies up to another chain. Jeff blasts
+Garblefuk with a disintigrate.
+
Harvey keeps punching. Iozreal harms Garblefuk, successfully, then
+eviscerates it with his scythe. Boobons takes out his Stick of
+Disintigration, and destroys a chainlink. Randy does some healing.
+Gartug punches a chainlink apart, breaking the chain. Cayden Caliean
+moves towards the flesh-mass, and begins trying to break his chain.
+Sheila G tries breaking her chain. Jeff does some weird chaos stuff,
+and turns the big 5th chain into a piece of cooked spaghetti.
+
Harvey hangs out a bit. Iozreal flies up to the flesh mass, and
+plunges his hand into it. Gartug lands and dismounts near Iozreal on
+the flesh mass, preparing to engage if necessary. Boobons
+disintigrates another chainlink, breaking the fourth of five chains.
+Cayden Cailean and Sheila G try breaking the last chain. Randy plays
+hop-scotch.
+
Iozreal finishes his tassk, flying off the mass and back to the
+ground. Gartug rushes over, and breaks the CC/SG chain, freeing the
+flesh mass, which plummets to the ground and is impailed upon the
+throne. COMBAT OVER!!
+
+
+
+
+
+
Iozreal informs us he absorbed some of the god’s power. The flesh mass appears
+to still be alive. SG and Gartug manage to un-impale it. After a bit more
+dialog, Iozreal offers to plane shift us home, but Sheila G does it instead.
+We arrive near the Far Territories, surprisingly close to the army’s column
+heading to the Far Territories. The flesh mass begins screaming, and SG and
+Randy start trying to heal it. Gartug and SG manage to remove all the chains.
+Gartug also rejects the mythic power of Baazebul from the part of it which
+embedded itself in his palm. The piece falls out and dissipates to
+nothingness.
+
+
The group deliberates on the next steps:
+
+
Where to bring Cayden Cailean? “Anywhere with beer!”
+
+
CC wants to find some beer, find his Red Band crew, find a ship (as in
+a space ship), and go adventuring. Gartug offers to go with and help
+him out.
+
+
+
Where to bring this flesh mass?
+
+
SG offers to take it to Elysium
+
+
+
What’s next?
+
+
SG is considering heading to the First World to find Hyperion
+
Harvey has to go…
+
~Boobons~ Stackor has to return to his other thing.
