Tombs of Scoria: Episode 27

__NOTOC__
== Synopsis ==
The brothers consult with Clertus about items belonging to Georg, but he lacks detailed information. Tyrael presents a prisoner’s head to The Family, gaining approval for their efforts in building trust, and they prepare for a journey to Bon' Theris. Imrik scries Tyrus Bellows’s sword, seeing disturbing visions of a tump with horns and a flesh-covered floor, but his Detect Magic spell overwhelms him. A guard in Bon' Theris informs them that travel has slowed due to recent violence, and Tyrael secures passage on a ship to Heatstroke from Captain Rita. As they approach Misty Valley, Imrik continues to scry on the sword, noting increasing magical power in the horns and diminishing magic elsewhere. Anton casts Divination, learning that the portal to the demon plane will open on the full moon, and attempts to find Tyrus Bellows’s sword and the shield against dragon’s breath yield mixed results. Upon reaching Heatstroke, the brothers, invisibly rowing to shore, find themselves in a fierce battle with various demons, including Warrior Demons, Taskmaster Demons, and a Beholder. They manage to defeat their foes through a combination of strategic spellcasting and combat, ultimately seeking to enter the Great Pyramid and confront the final demons guarding a crucial portal.
