The Battle of the Crag
A terrorist attack by Benne Rowich, believed to be operating under the orders of a demon, targeting the civilian population living inside the mountain of The Great Crag.
Benne created six portals inside the mountain itself powered by the bodies of her captured followers. The portals, protected by barriers, appeared to open to the Demon Wastes, as hordes of demons and devils poured through. The portals were intentionally placed in areas with a high concentration of sleeping civilians, and the initial loss of life was high. However, the Znir Pact reacted quickly, and pushed back the first wave. Soon, members of the Dragonmarked Houses staying in Little Dura joined to support the Z'nir Pact- in particular members of House Deneith, House Tharashk, House Kundarak, and surprisingly, House Orien. A contingent of Ghaash'kala were also visiting the Crag and immediately joined the fight against the fiends.
Also joining the fight were Celosia Senho, Ripper, Toox, Ice, Hult, and Tarryn Rowntree. They came to the aid of a beleaguered Breven d'Deneith and a small contingent of his soldiers. Together, the small group managed to overpower a much larger force. Not a single fiend made it passed the group.
The portals were closed through the combined efforts of Merrix d'Cannith and Xor'chylic. They saw how to dismantle the barriers and portals, and Xor'chylic relayed the information to groups fighting back.
The death toll was gruesome. The estimate is around 180 lives lost, and while most of them being civilians many others died protecting people. One of particular note was Hult, of Clan Cragmaw, who fought valiantly to his last breath.
Benne Rowich used the distraction of the fighting to escape in an airship. The party has been forcibly charged with finding Rowich, and was given an airship of their own to accomplish this.
