In which our heroes ...

Veriak sees Arisia tied down in the middle of a pentagram. Standing around
her are several figures, one with a white mask, one with pirate clothes,
one with a demon on his shoulder, one with a jar with a head in it. Sigh.
He also sees a vision of Arisia trying to be pushed into opening a door.
Hmmm....
We start preparing to leave. Imre warns Alynna not to get mind controlled.
Coraan Maas indicates that house Gugulon is involved out there too.
We arrive on the docks of Xuba at sunset. Cornelia says she'll be waiting
for us to call. Oathar pulls out his wand of finding and start trying
to find Arisia's soul dagger. Xuba seesm to be a hive of scum and villiany.
But more so. We wander in. Oathar leads them to a small house down a dark
alley. We prep ourselves and in we go!
The statues near the doors attack! But we all resist their spell, so
we move on to the entrance hall and ignore them.
Hmm, lot's of doors, but none heading down. So, Kyrik makes a portal
in the floor. It doesn't go through so we have to do it the hard way.
We storm about taking out pirates left and right until we find the stairs
down. Out the back of the wine cellar, we find the heavy crossbow ambuscade.
Ouch! Charging in, more pirates are slain. We cover our retreat, (and
their reinforements), with a stun cloud and press on.
Then we press on and find three demons. They are terrible. Then we press
on and find Xiax and more pirates and a pirate lord. It gets really bad.
The Alynn agets mind controlled and it gets worse. Oathar seduces Alynna
so at least she stops attacking our guys. Then Imre subjugates the pirate
lord. The pirate lord brings us the dagger with Arisia's soul. Once everyone
is in range, Oathar manages to teleport their half of the room, not including
Xiax off to Pocantos. Yay! The party collapses. (Oathar remembers to turn
off the seduction before passing out.)
