You enter the room where Olog the Infernal stands proud as he watches all of you emerge slowly, the room smells of sulfur and sex mixed with blood, six cages of dead citizens - one of them Evidel's youngest cousin, about her age - uncle was very proud of his skill in arcane. He places his great club in front of him and leans his weight on it : ((During the fight as his allies are hit, Morah can not just see how his fathers party was slaughtered in a similar way, the movement, the feeling he gets it reminds him of that dread day))
"Morah, a fitting name I would say... Nothing more but a shit stuck on your father's shoe - you'll meet him in the after-life soon. Creo and Ed - I must agree an intersting duo, but worthless and uneeded - even your mother have left you. Orc mothers aren't so cruel, yours must have had a reason... Evidel - something about you makes me burn from the inside, but **he looks at the dead body of her cousin, walks to it picks up the chin in a lovers way and crushes into dust, blood and brain splatter and as he does it's as if you see your parents skulls crashed, Erridor as some messed up PTSD** he cried your name as his life slowly left and he yelled out in his voice - yet you never came. Eridor - I promised the day I crushed your parents skulls with my own hands that your fate is to be the same - let me hold my promise. And Vudark the infamous Arch's lover, he'll sob into his pillow as he finds only what's left of you - a pile of stomped meat. Gruumsh - I do not give the slightest shit about, he has turned his back years ago, all I care is that my kind gets the same treatment yours do... Well and some extra of course. Come on now, who wishes to attack first - show me what you've got, let me test this body out"
The book
Book of Creation
With the book, they found pages inserted into the book written by Virgo himself :
According to the information found in a study journal of Virgo Warhammer that was found together with the book of Creation, he thinks an event for such a being as Asmodeus to be summoned to the mortal realm should happen only when the magic is very amped - his studies show that this should be the date (1300 year 9th month and 12th day), last time it happened when the gods were pushed out by Mystra over a thousand years ago.
If checked with Arch Wonderbroom he agrees with these calculations as he has been running studies on his own but for different reasons than simply studying such banishment done by Mystra.
Everblossom temple
((After Gruumsh dies, the spirits of Justiciars join the players as they are released))
5. Orc boss (Olog the Infernal)- who attempts to guard the book himself, doing a ritual at his throne room where he attempts to call Asmodeus himself and gift the findings to him. (Players have 6 rounds of combat to defeat this enemy - otherwise, the summoned archdevil will enter through the portal to help the Orc out), some of the missing villagers from Oakfield and Evidel's youngest cousin about her age - someone they've met before there with others in cages being channeled into the portal as their essence is drawn out.

It will be ready in a few days for them to claim they earn all the title of Lord and Ladies of Nexus (giving certificates of owning around 5 hectares of land, the house, some forset and a small pond)

Consider this a friendly warning, sleep calm tonight there's nothing you can do, but as you rest the hells plot... You will be asked for help soon - react to it as soon as you can.- Lord Isaac Eich
Erridor is contacted by Prince Alegion - through fey spirits that would visit him, offering him to consider the position of Ambassador with the humans as danger rises and they keep getting more attacks both from the Fey portal and of the nine hells invasions - saying Elves can not win this fight alone, neither can humans.
((AFTER THE PARTY CHILLS IN THE NEW HOUSE FOR A BIT)) The druids receive a message through their heirlooms given to them by their school a voice from their Archdruid Arin (One of the school founders and first founder of the druidic circles here in Lands of Mystra) :
I contact all students, far and near - our school is under attack. Devils and imps have ripped through reality and entered our space - we tought you everything you were ready for and now we ask for you to help us in a time of need. Lyra our lovely voice - passed away and those who are here are figthing with time until our eventual demise unless you help us. I ask you to help us - get here.
