Seven Devils

The Acolytes in Sexy Tights protect Setessa from Dead Amy's hellish forces.

## Major Plot Points

#### The Descent

* The city of Setessa was plummeting from Sybil Ringwell's cubic gate that was corrupted by King Demetrius towards Avernus. Chains attached to giant hooks launched from the ground and embedded into the city's foundation accelerating Setessa's fall. Clows Kufas cast reverse gravity on one of the hooks to slow the crashing city. Oracle Morrigan and Archon Daenyra tried to restrain a mad King Demetrius. The fallen king breathed fire on Clows for trying to stop the city's impending doom.
* At the urging of the city's sane leaders, The Acolytes rushed out of the palace's courtyard to save any citizen they could. Dikarus Bottombane suggested they head towards the Iroas temple as it was the closest holy place.
* SBG3 discovered a group of demons trying to break into his shop. He failed to frighten them off, but his prayers were answered when Karametra protected his shop thanks to a tune sung by Aryan Grande at Karametra's Amphitheater.
* A flaming sphere of bones came hurtling towards Thundersnatch Investigations. Dewey Thundersnatch rushed to his father's aid but was too late to save him. His last words were criticizing how cold Dewey's water was when he was putting out the fire. The cleric tried to revive his father, but Dead Amy claimed his soul. While in possession of Drizzly's body, the new Overlord of Avernus made his head explode.
* Juxxtina's lover Jaime was preaching the good word of Dead Amy to panicked Setessans. He refused to believe Juxxtina and his baby Jugghead were alive and real. Sybil Ringwell tried polymorphing him into a small creature they could easily carry, but Jaime successfully resisted the spell. Muchomucho M Amor tried using his genie pipe to manipulate Jaime into coming with the party, but his devotion to Dead Amy proved too strong. Juxxtina then tried physically dragging Jaime away, but his new training helped him slip from her grip. The Acolytes had no choice but to continue on without him.
* The party noticed the Royal Bank of Setessa had been breached. Dikarus said he knew the bank's vault held the legendary Sword of the Sun, a prize many thieves wanted to steal. When they pillaged through the bank's remains, they discovered the sword was already gone. SBG3 took the Tiara of Ephara.

#### Sanctuary

* The Acolytes arrived at the Iroas Temple and were greeted by Dikarus' father Testicules Bottomborn. The high elf paladin greeted the party enthusiastically as he was so proud his son made such fine friends. After giving each Acolyte a compliment, he prayed to Iroas to protect the temple and everyone within it. Thanks to the additional prayers of the faithful and the Acolytes, some of the city became bathed in a golden aura.
* Setessa crashed into Avernus soon after. Most of the city was destroyed including Came-A-Lot, Thundersnatch Investigations, and Lids for Kids Water Park.
* Testicules told the party to get the Shield of Iroas the Temple of the Oracle, which he could use to protect the city from Avernus.
* When they stepped outside of the Iroas temple, a spectral vulture flew to them with a sack in its beak. Muchomucho recognized the vulture and its sack as belonging to Erebos, god of the dead. Sybil read the attached note that read, "I don't have a lot of time. I once promised you a second god killer potion after you returned Phaenax to me. Now seems like a good time to repay that debt. See you soon, Erebos.”
* Sybil discovered the vial contained a godkiller potion that was modified to kill infernal deities - like Dead Amy or Asmodeus, the King of Hell.

#### The Temple of the Oracle

* The Acolytes then entered the temple's Hall of the Gods. Statues of the Therosi pantheon were heavily damaged - and not just by the fall. Muchomucho discovered each of the Kruphix statue's four hands had buttons in their palms. Dewey, SBG3, and Muchomucho pressed three buttons at the same time. Sybil tried using a mage hand on the last button only to have it shatter. She then used her wand of wonder to press it, but that too turned to dust. Sybil then used her real hand and the button pressed down. This revealed a hidden staircase.
* A priest named Gideon hid in the panic room beneath the statue. He told the party his scrying spell connected to one of the statues upstairs had caught the king, archon, and oracle enter the hall. It sounded like they were fighting. The fall damaged his scrying spell so he couldn't see them and he barely heard what they said. He agreed to guide them throughout the temple.
* Gideon led them into a desecrated shrine to Heliod. After opening a series of trap doors, Dikarus kept kicking him down to avoid the pillars of fire.
* Inside the choir room, Gideon played the pipe organ and immediately burst into flames. Sybil tried casting soul cage on him in an effort to stop Dead Amy from claiming his spirit. The human wizard was no match against She Who Is Three. Sybil used speak with dead to learn the necessary song to open the door to the next room. Muchomucho played it poorly so many Acolytes took thunder damage.
* Inside the temple's mausoleum, the party opened the next door by giving a gold coin to the Athreos vase.
* They then found King Demetrius torturing Oracle Morrigan in her divination chamber. After failing to convince him to stop, Theros' heroes and king came to blows. Demetrius shot SBG3 with an infernal firebolt, which he countered with absorb elements. Dikarus hit the fallen king with an arrow. Dewey hit him with his trident. Demetrius turned into a cloud of ash and smoke and attempted to suffocate Dewey. The triton hit back with a wrath of the storm. Muchomucho launched a sunbeam that showed the king was vulnerable to radiant damage. Demetrius nearly decimated the party with his eruption spell. Oracle Morrigan uttered a chant and turned into strands of blue energy that healed the party members. This unfortunately cost Morrigan her life.
* Sybil cast mental prison, but Demetrius resisted. SBG3 summoned his healing cannon to bolster his friends. Muchomucho cast crown of stars. Dewey cast mass cure wounds. Demetrius choked Clows in his smokey form. The tortle wizard repelled him with a pulse wave. Demetrius cast heat soul on SBG3, proving the gnome construct did have a soul. SBG3 fired back with his Eyes of Radiance. Demetrius finally died when he was struck by one of Muchomucho's stars.
* When they read his journal, they discovered this Demetrius was actually the reanimated corpse of their king. When Demetrius died saving the party from Queen Nekros' undead giant, she took his body and revived him and kept him in heir lair. Meanwhile, the Acolytes went to the Underworld and helped Demetrius' soul escape, which gave him a new body.
* When the Acolytes found Corpse Demetrius during their assault on Queen Nekros' castle, they freed him thinking he was their friend who somehow got captured during the battle. They realized a little while later that this Demetrius was an imposter when the king and his soldiers said he was never captured in the fight.
* When Corpse Demetrius left the castle, he discovered another Demetrius leading his people. He went into hiding seeing how beloved he was. During his time in isolation, he realized he had no soul and was the product of Queen Nekros' experiments. Dead Amy, another being created by Queen Nekros, offered him a place at her war council. He gladly accepted.
* After bringing the Shield of Iroas to Testicules, Dikarus' father was able to use it to create a protective barrier around the city. It expelled all demons and devils and prevented them from entering. It also protected the citizens from Avernus' innate corruptive influence. The paladin warned the party to be quick with saving Setessa - the barrier would only last 30 days.
