E11 - Devil in the Fire

General Summary

The femur bone in hand, the party moved further into the Innenotdar Fire Forest, seeking the one looking to bargain with or potentially harm them. Text on the femur stated this individual wanted what was "in the case", presumably Funzbar Biteknee's book of intel from the Ragesian Empire palace. Not long into their trek, they were attacked by what Jack knew to be a bearded devil - a demonic figure with a fiery glaive and snakes for a beard. He viscously assailed the group, aided by two imps reminiscent of Kurychek. The devil was able to teleport around the battlefield, and his thick flesh rebuffed most attacks. After beating the party down considerably, he left, running into the blazing forest, seemingly unharmed by both the flames and the party's aggressions. Gathering themselves, the party moved on, bruised and beaten, paranoid of another attack. Just as a river was visible in the distance, Crystin shouted out to Rayland to jump aside as a flaming spear slammed into the group where he had just stood. Two fire elementals shaped like deer appeared and approached the group, as fire sprang up on all sides, a wall made of the inferno encroaching on their position. The party dug in their heels, and prepared to face this new threat.
