The party (Shang-Lung Drake, Wynd and his cooshee Thunder, and Anasta) escorts the wounded out of the tomb and encounters Nahmunhi, Demeter, and Venturus Drake, all sent by Sage to help support their efforts. The group then re-enters the tomb, following the smaller blood trail, which they assume belong to the child they seek. They descend into a cavern. There are four mini-demons (two 2-die and two 4-die) here. As they join the battle, a larger demon and a goat-shaped demon come in from other passages.
Wynd engages the goat demon, and Shang casts mirror image, so there are now five of him. As they clear out most of the demons, Shang moves down one of the passages to look out for other foes. That’s when four more demons come down his passageway at him and four others and a goat demon from another passage near Wynd.
Venturus goes to help out his son, Shang. Between Shang, Venturus, Wynd, and Thunder, they now have both passageways blocked. Anasta joins Shang and Venturus. The goat demon pulls out a bow and starts shooting arrows. As soon as he’s clear, Thunder runs at him at attacks. He sees that there are many demons in the next room, and there is a hostage on the far side.
After they clear off all of the original demons, Demeter joins Thunder and finishes off the goat demon. He sees the little girl they seek in a pentacle with three goat demons. The demons meet them at the entrance to the big room. Thunder and Demeter have them hemmed in as Venturus and Wynd join them as backup. Meantime, Shang is bandaging the badly-wounded Anasta.
The fighters start pushing into the room. Namuhni casts a cure light wounds on himself and heads down to back them up. Anasta and Shang also join them. Thunder sees an opening and rushes to the demons hold the girl and attacks, amid their arrow fire. Shang runs inside to make himself a target, while Anasta and Namuhni help out the other fighters. Shang and Thunder are killing the demons with the little girl.
The rest of the demons have been cleared by the other group. Shang checks on the girl. They heal their wounds and check for traps on the chests and take the girl up. They also get an aid from one of the clerics waiting there.
They head back down and follow another blood trail. The trail leads into a room that has another smaller room in the middle. The trail leads up to the smaller room’s door. There are two black rat demons waiting for them. They slaughter them, and then two shadows slip out to attack. Behind them are a host of rat demons, one the size of a great Dane. The rats are holding back.
The finish the shadows quickly, but Thunder gets drained of strength. As the party moves to take on the rats, Anasta passes in front of the open door to the small room. She sees an orangutan-looking demon torturing a living human. Anasta hits him with a mind thrust, as Demeter and Namuhni attack the demon. They call out for help from the folks fighting the rats.
Shang casts sleep, and takes out three of the rats on Venturus. Meanwhile, the demon starts playing with Demeter and Namuhni. He uses telekinesis on Namuhni’s sword to jab at Demeter. Shang casts another sleep, catching two rats on Wynd.
The demon then tekes Demeter and uses him to bludgeon Anasta. Namuhni, now free, runs out and kills the one rat on Thunder, begging him to go help with the demon. Thunder goes to help out Wynd to try to free him of his rats. Wynd gets freed, and Namuhni slaps an aid on him. Venturus is also now free.
The demon continues to “play” with Demeter and Anasta. Venturus gets a cure light wounds, and he, Wynd, and Thunder run to attack the demon. The demon drops Demeter on his head (ouch!) and starts attacking Thunder. The cooshee gets hit with a fear effect and runs off. Venturus and Wynd start attacking. Shang hurls lawful water at the demon. Angered, the fiend then casts a fireball on himself. It’s an illusion, but only Venturus is fooled and takes damage.
The demon, nearly dead, vengefully attacks Anasta, nearly killing her. She cowers in the corner in fear. Wynd and Venturus send the vile fiend to the Abyss. Wynd runs off to look for the feared cooshee. Shang tends to the torture victim.
They check for treasure.
